En la isla de Tahití, en la Polinesia Francesa, el Alto Comisario de la República, De Roller, representante del Estado francés, es un hombre calculador de modales impecables. Tanto en las recepciones oficiales como en los establecimientos ilegales, no deja de tomar el pulso a una población local cuya ira puede despertarse en cualquier momento. Y más aún cuando un rumor se instala: parece haberse avistado un submarino, cuya presencia fantasmal podría anunciar una reanudación de los ensayos nucleares franceses.

A look inside the work of Breaking the Silence, an organization of former IDF combat soldiers who collect and publish testimonies of soldiers who served in the occupied territories. For six months, director Silvina Landsmann, camera in hand, accompanied the staff of the organization. The many hours of footage have been refined into a film that dives into the heart of Breaking the Silence’s work: guided tours of Hebron and the surrounding area, public lectures and house meetings, internal staff meetings and media strategy. All the while the organization is forced to justify its very existence, both internally and to the broader public, and to justify its place in the political debate. The Good Soldier raises questions about Israel’s dynamic mainstream and the challenges of confronting it.

Ulrike Ottinger weaves her personal memories of Parisian bohemianism and the serious social, political and cultural upheavals of the time into a cinematic “figure poem.”

Madame de Dumeval, el Conde de Tesis y el Duque de Wand, libertinos expulsados de la corte puritana de Luis XVI, van en busca del legendario Duque de Walchen, un seductor y libre pensador alemán, solos en un país donde reina la hipocresía y las falsas virtudes. Su misión: exportar el libertinaje en Alemania. Pero antes deben encontrar un lugar seguro donde continuar sus prácticas licenciosas. ¿Las novicias de un convento cercano se dejarán también arrastrar ellas por esta noche oscura donde sólo reina la ley del deseo insaciable?

In a quiet village in southern China, Fang Xiuying is sixty-seven years old.

Now, bedridden, she is surrounded by her relatives and neighbors, as they witness and accompany her through her last days.

Where are you, João Gilberto? sets out in the footsteps of German writer Marc Fischer who obsessively searched for the legendary founding father of Bossa Nova and last great musical legend of our time, Brazilian musician João Gilberto, who has not been seen in public for decades. Fischer described his journey in a book, Hobalala, but committed suicide one week before it was published. By taking up Marc Fischer's quest, following his steps one by one, thanks to all the clues he left us, we pursue João Gilberto to understand the history, the very soul and essence of Bossa Nova. But who can tell whether we will meet him or not?

En la Francia ocupada de la II Guerra Mundial, las autoridades nazis decidieron proteger, pese a las circunstancias, la mayor y más valiosa colección de pintura del mundo: el Museo del Louvre. A través de la historia de Jacques Jaujard y el conde Franz Wolff-Metternich, en el París de 1940, Sokurov explora la relación entre el arte y el poder, siendo el Louvre el principal lugar de la civilización viva. Ambos hombres protegieron los tesoros de dicho museo al mismo tiempo que los grandes ejércitos arrasaban el corazón de la civilización dejando muchas víctimas por delante.

También se explora la relación entre pintura y narrativa. (FILMAFFINITY)

This new disc from the Zurich Opera presents just about as thoughtful and coherent account of Rossini's Otello as one could hope for. This isn't the first time the company has made something of a splash with the bel canto repertory. Some will remember their CD release, a few years back, of Bellini's Norma, also featuring Bartoli. That set got very mixed reviews, and those who hated that will probably hate this too, no doubt before they even watch it. But for those not initiated in the trench warfare that music loving often attracts, this disc will be most welcome. The world class cast, led by Cecilia Bartoli and tenor John Osborn, are (mostly) young, committed and talented. They deliver, here, an intense performance that makes a very strong case for this neglected opera.

RAVEL'S BRAIN is a musical/visual tone poem at once tragic and celebratory in its mood. The film portrays the inner being of a great artist who was rendered incapable of communicating with the outside world. For the last five years of his life, Maurice Ravel was the victim of his own lamentable circumstances. Afflicted by aphasia and apraxia, his brain produced music, but he was unable to write it down.

This intimately narrated journey from Russia to Rotterdam, via rail, road and Finnish ferry, is a melancholy meditation on divinity, time and place in art, purpose (or its lack) and the loneliness of the soul. Passing through misty snowscapes, half-glimpsed cities and the icy night sea-swell.

Documentary based on the figure of Manuel Agujetas (Manuel de los Santos Pastor 1939-2015), mythical cantaor and one of the last representatives of the Flamenco de Jerez school. Essential figure of flamenco.

Slim es el capataz de un rancho, y está casi sordo a causa de dos tiros calibre 30.06 que pasaron demasiado cerca de sus orejas cuando tenía 13 años y medio. Un día observa, junto con Peter y Dusty, bajar de las montañas a un francés llamado Pierre que trae consigo su maleta llena de cosas francesas.

Filmmaker Bruno Monsaingeon visits piano virtuoso Glenn Gould more than ten years after his self-imposed exile from the stage, which results in a mixture of interview and performance.

Four years ago, Kingsley arrived from Nigeria in Guangzhou, China and shared a small room with other Africans in the basement of a commercial building. He converted this modest space into a barber’s shop. Kingsley is keen to start an import and export company and to register it officially in Guangzhou. He works every day until 11 pm then goes to sleep in a chair at McDonald’s. He must also send money to his wife, so despite all his efforts, he is still unable to put aside enough money to register his business. In mid-November 2019, he goes back to Lagos to renew his visa. There, he and his wife rent a small stall in the Ikotun Market in the suburbs. But business is hard. Early in 2020, Kingsley is due to head back to China to continue his quest, but with all travel blocked by the Covid-19 epidemic, he remains stuck in Nigeria. Meanwhile, in Guangzhou, the director meets Evelyn, a Nigerian woman, trying to survive with her 6-year-old daughter and with another one on the way.
