The clarity with which Foroughi presents the situation makes it easy for international audiences to follow the unfolding drama with its rising stakes.” – Deborah Young\, The Hollywood Reporter \n  \nBased on her own adolescent experiences\, Sadaf Foroughi’s Ava is a gripping debut about a young girl’s coming-of-age in a strict\, traditional society. Living with her well-to-do parents in Tehran\, Ava is a bright and focused teen whose concerns — friendships\, music\, social status\, academic performance — resemble that of nearly any teenager. When Ava’s mistrustful and overprotective mother questions her relationship with a boy — going so far as to visit a gynecologist – Ava is overwhelmed by a newfound rage. Formerly a model student\, Ava begins to rebel against the strictures imposed by her parents\, her school\, and the society at large. \n  \nAwards:\n \nNominated\, International Debut Award\, Göteborg Film Festival\, 2018\nWinner\, Best Canadian First Feature Film/Honourable Mention\, International Critics’ Award\, Toronto International Film Festival\, 2017 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF9pDPmF3is” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n  \n \n[/col_one]

A spot-on\, no-holds-barred satire of the more vapid foibles of the postmodern art world\, the film follows Christian (Claes Bang)\, the imperious\, self-centred\, and hopelessly befuddled curator of Sweden’s most cutting-edge art museum. \nHe’s a divorced but devoted father of two who drives an electric car and supports good causes. His next show is “The Square”\, an installation which invites passersby to altruism\, reminding them of their role as responsible fellow human beings. But sometimes\, it is difficult to live up to your own ideals: Christian’s foolish response to the theft of his phone drags him into shameful situations. Meanwhile\, the museum’s PR agency has created an unexpected campaign for “The Square”. The response is overblown and sends Christian\, as well as the museum\, into an existential crisis. \n  \nAwards:\nNominated\, Best Foreign Language Film\, Academy Awards\, USA\, 2018\nNominated\, Best Foreign Language Film\, Golden Globes\, USA\, 2018\nNominated\, Best Feature\, Adelaide Film Festival\, 2017\nWinner\, Best Non English Language Film\, Alliance of Women Film Journalists\, 2018\nWinner\, Best Foreign Language Film\, Boston Society of Film Critics Awards\, 2017\nWinner\, European Comedy\, European Film\, European Director\,European Film Awards\, 2017\nWinner\, Best European Film\, Goya Awards\, 2018\nWinner\, Best Foreign Film\, Guild of German Art House Cinemas\, 2017\nWinner\, Best Foreign Language Film\, Toronto Film Critics Association Awards\, 2017 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V74sHdm76WU” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n  \n  \n \n[/col_one]

Spettacolo tells the story of Teatro Povero di Monticchiello\, interweaving episodes from its past with its modern day process\, as the villagers turn a series of devastating blows into a new play about the end of their world. \n  \nAwards: \nWon\, Audience Award\, Biografilm Festival\, 2017\nWon\, Special Jury Prize\, Dallas International Film Festival\, 2017\nWon\, Jury Prize\, Key West Film Festival\, 2017\nNominated\, Best Documentary\, Cleveland International Film Festival\, 2017\nNominated\, Best Documentary\, Critics Choice Documentary Awards\, 2017 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”vimeo” video_url=”https://vimeo.com/230383008″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

(USA) \n  \n“This is Kennedy’s profile in courage\, a film about the connection between the great man and the “incorrigible egomaniac.” For all the awesome surfing footage\, Take Every Wave is a serious film about the death-or-glory attitude of an extreme athlete.” – Liam Lacey\, Original Cin \n  \n“The line between dedication and addiction is a thin one\, and … that line is even thinner for the surfer who’s the subject of this involving documentary.” – Mark Dujik\, Mark Reviews Movies \n  \nThis exciting film tracks the remarkable life and legendary career of big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton. Much admired by the public (though often disdained or ignored by the surf industry itself)\, Hamilton is a unique sports icon.

Transcending the surf genre\, this in-depth portrait of a hard-charging athlete explores the fear\, courage and ambition that push a man to greatness as well as the cost that comes with it. Threaded throughout is a revealing\, deeply personal interview with Hamilton himself\, as well conversations with the family members\, friends\, collaborators and detractors who know him best. \n  \nAwards: \nWon\, Most Compelling Living Subject\, Critics Choice Documentary Awards\, 2017 Nominated\, Best Sports Documentary\, Critics Choice Documentary Awards\, 2017 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06BoDz9JzZE” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]
