Azadi<\/span>
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

\n \"\"<\/p>\n

In 2016 a controversial deal was signed between the European Union and Turkey to stop refugees from making the short, yet perilous crossing to the Greek islands. The refugees who do make it to these islands, must wait indefinitely for their asylum cases to be processed. This documentary portrays the unusual transit zone the island of Lesvos has become, through the eyes of two Pakistani refugees and a local fishing community.<\/p>\n

Circle<\/span>

\n \"\"<\/p>\n

Circle<\/em> is a haunting portrait of a rape survivor who is caught in the devious ploys of her family. Through the poignant and personal story of 13-year-old Khushbu, Circle explores her gang-rape, her emotional abuse at the hands of her grandmother (who orchestrated the rape), and her child marriage to a man she does not know. Where does the circle begin? And can there be any release? With astonishing access, and crafted with the artistry of a narrative film, Circle is a moving and poetic contemplation of the human spirit and its resilience in the darkest hour.<\/p>\n

\n <\/span><\/p>\n

\n \"\"<\/p>\n

The residents of a village near Opole are celebrating Easter Sunday. People and horses have gathered near the church. It is a traditional component of Easter celebrations, which include prayers, a horse ride around the nearby households, and fervent singing under the influence of alcohol. Enigmatic editing and black and white photographs reflect the dignified atmosphere of the holiday in which the sacred is combined with the profane in a bizarre chase.<\/p>\n

\n Northerners<\/span>
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

\n \"\"<\/p>\n

The Northerners<\/em> is a cycle of film essays with a focus on northern individualism. Each one of the three parts plays out in different places around the Kola Peninsula over the space of one day. The story revolves around the everyday life of three people that share no formal ties. Igor, who belongs to a family of pilots, is a polar aviation squad commander; Vassily is a Murmansk merchant port tug master; Volodya is a woodcutter and leader of a wood harvesting guild. Like most of the people living in the north, they came here for work, and though they weren\u2019t initially planning on staying on, they ended up staying forever. They share this peculiar perception of reality, a special rhythm of life and the way they see themselves and others. They have taught themselves not to fear to surrender their lives to natural cycles, to be proactive, to count on no one but themselves yet to always help everyone, even strangers, not to make plans and not to get down.<\/p>\n

Sisters<\/span>
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

\n \"\"<\/p>\n

Behind the mighty eighteenth century wall of the oldest enclosed convent in Poland \u2013 a Benedictine convent in Staniatki, near Krakow \u2013 the lives of twelve nuns in their seventies goes on. Despite their age and the world of rapid change happening beyond their walls, every day they try to comply with the \u2018Ora et Labora\u2019 rule set over ten centuries ago. Our protagonists, nuns Anuncjata and Benedykta (40 years in convent), introduce us to the world behind the wall by telling us about their lives and their decisions with their own unique charm. They show us the world of a convent in its true colours, without stereotypes, which is often touching and amusing at the same time. Sisters<\/em> is a film about silence spoken aloud.<\/p>\n

\n Tailwhip<\/span>
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

\n \"\"<\/p>\n

The dusty Mexican border town of El Centro serves as the backdrop for a 13-year-old BMX rider named Erik and the hero who fuels his passion. In this visceral and tactile film, we experience the world as a messy heap of impressions and obstacles, including emotional and physical challenges begging to be overcome by the right recipe of grit and determination. There is a fierceness, a rawness to the imagery that puts us in the mind of the child from the small, sweltering town. Erik doesn\u2019t know much about the outside world at his young age, but in the glowing light of his father\u2019s support and admiration, that hasn\u2019t stopped him from dreaming big. For Erik and his father, and every kid riding the streets of El Centro, this is the prequel to a story of triumph over adversity, of hope blooming in an unlikely place.<\/p>\n
