ALL THAT BREATHES<\/span> As legions of birds fall from New Delhi\u2019s darkening skies, and the city smolders with social unrest, two brothers race to save an unintended casualty of the turbulent times: the black kite, a majestic bird of prey essential to their city\u2019s ecosystem.<\/p>\n Director:<\/strong> Shaunak Sen \nKASH KASH<\/span> The city of Beirut is nowadays torn apart by a corrupt political elite, anti-government protests, and one of the biggest explosions of the 21st century. But above the roofs of the city, you can find an unexpected bearer of hope: the pigeon game of chance \u201eKash Hamam\u201d. Every evening, in the golden sun above the labyrinth streets of Beirut, the sky populates, and all over the city swarms fly out of their cages. Their flight follows the choreography of an ancient tradition. Each player holds their own flock and lets it circle above his house, with the chance to lure the pigeons of the neighbours onto his roof, in order to catch it and expand his flock. The film observes the city in turmoil from the perspective of three pigeon players and a young girl fighting to release her own birds.<\/p>\n Director:<\/strong> Lea Najjar \nLANDSCAPES<\/span> The cold winter finds the Ukrainian poet Tamara Zhurba bedridden in a lost village in the middle of the oppressive jungle. Valentyna, her only daughter, takes care of her and the few animals on a small farm while drawing her memories on loose sheets. Fate seems to be blurred, as well as the memories of an old poem that is hidden in the landscapes.<\/p>\n Original title: <\/strong>Los paisajes \nTHE PAWNSHOP<\/span> A moving story, full of crazy humour, depicting people who struggle to survive while helping those in bigger need. Jola and Wiesiek are an eccentric couple from Bytom, tied up in love as well as in business. With the help of three employees, they run what is probably the largest pawnshop in Europe. However, its glory days passed once the local mines closed and unemployment began to rise. Left destitute, the inhabitants of ‘the Polish Detroit’ bring zillions of absurd and useless objects to pawn for cash. Neither Wiesiek’s ridiculous marketing ideas, nor the good heart of Jola, who offers kind words, hot soup and a warm coat to her impoverished customers, will save the crumbling business. Even though the pawnshop loses money, it becomes an important centre of social life for the local community. Soon, it goes nearly bankrupt, while the relationship of Jola and Wiesiek is put to the test. With a disaster looming on the horizon, the owners make the final attempt to save their company and couple.<\/p>\n Original title: <\/strong>Lombard \nSANS\u00d3N AND ME<\/span> During his day job as a Spanish criminal interpreter in a small town in California, filmmaker Rodrigo Reyes met a young man named Sans\u00f3n, an undocumented Mexican immigrant who was sentenced to life in prison without parole. With no permission to interview him, Sans\u00f3n and Reyes worked together over a decade, using hundreds of letters as inspiration for recreations of Sans\u00f3n\u2019s childhood-featuring members of Sans\u00f3n\u2019s own family. The result is a vibrant portrait of a friendship navigating immigration and the depths of the criminal justice system, and pushing the boundaries of cinematic imagination to rescue a young migrant\u2019s story from oblivion.<\/p>\n Original title: <\/strong>Sans\u00f3n y Yo SONS OF CAIN<\/span> A film set in a small village in northern Albania. In this place time is suspended and the severe rules of an old code (Kanun) still dictate life and death of the inhabitants. A group of seven children obliged to live under this code, meet and discuss the story of Cain and Abel. Creating their own dream space, partially consciously and partially not, they create an analogy between their own stories and the biblical fables. Stuck somewhere on the fine line between reality and oblivion, this is one of the few chances they have to face their own traumas and emotions.<\/p>\n Director:<\/strong> Keti Stamo
