On vacation in Stockholm, a teenage daughter is left wandering the city alone when her mother suffers from a sudden mental breakdown. Coming of age becomes an equally sudden necessity.

Parents wait all their lives for their children to say "Thank you!" And the children in turn wait for a "Sorry!". This impossible equation is the starting point in the comedy "Call Mom!" Niki has just turned 35 and has to suddenly grasp all the life choices and relationships she dug for.

An existential sugar shock which takes us on a fun, candy-filled roller-coaster ride between cruel violence and extreme cuteness - which prove to be disturbingly close together.

Las protagonistas son dos chicas estudiantes de secundaria, ambas inmigrantes de fuera de Europa, pero de distintos estratos sociales. Aida ha llegado a Suecia con su familia y su madre trabaja como limpiadora en el edificio del gobierno local, mientras que Dana ha sido adoptada por una pareja kurdo-sueca de clase media alta.

Mika and Tesfay. She: a photographer. He: a musician. Both up-and-coming. The first love. But an invisible conflict, an unnamable shame, stirs between their sheets. An insidious power game is in play, with its rules changing like music beats at the parties in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Ibiza. Behind closed doors and beautifying filters lies a raw reality where Mika’s control over her mind and body is at stake. But Mika rips apart relationship prejudices and explores what really makes our pulses quicken in matters of the modern heart.

Passionate love and Sapphic action when Ester and Anna shatter the silence.

Death, the passage of time and eternity. Big topics, but seen from a new and original perspective in a film based on a simple idea: that one's sense of time ceases to function when one dies, and that one for a short – or in fact very long – moment has the chance to experience eternity. And to therefore live in a single memory forever. Which one would you choose? 'I Remember When I Die' takes place at life's last destination, a hospice, but is a poetic and vital journey into the borderland of consciousness, and right into a possible afterlife.

The story follows a group of people who are kidnapped from the street and held hostage in an underground prison to await deportation. Will they escape? What will be the cost of freedom?

Cuando Andreas y Sebastian se conocen, saben que están hechos el uno para el otro. En plena borrachera de amor, toman la ciudad vacía en verano: hurtos en el 7-Eleven, bailes en azoteas, baños furtivos, noches eufóricas. Pero a Andreas, heterosexual, le cuesta asumir su amor por el andrógino Sebastian, pues en su frágil feminidad, no deja de ser un hombre. Y, como dice la canción de Joy Division que da título al film, algo debe romperse: “Dos caminos a elegir / ante el filo de una navaja / quédate atrás / o impúlsate adelante”. (FILMAFFINITY)

Caught between two genders, the artist Eli Leven and Ester Martin Bergsmark touch and caress each other, while they bath together in clouds of steam. A persuasive voice-off describes the often hard and painful growing process, which led them to choose to be neither males nor females. But something else entirely. While memories of adolescences scarred by homophobia and discrimination are presented, the audience is also captivated by poetic evocations of bodies, of snowy woods, water, nature, and snails: the symbol of androgyny. This movie moves the audience profoundly. It is a hymn to sexual fluidity, which reveals the search for the true self, rendered through the use of contrasting, vivid, and often acid bright photography. Intended as a television portrait of the transgender artist Eli Leven, it is a psychedelic docu-fiction, a hybrid movie inspired by Derek Jarman's Sebastian.

Through beautiful childlike dioramas and vivid bedtime stories, director Vibeke Bryld complicates George W. Bush’s simple-minded characterization of North Korea, Iran and Iraq. By illuminating the universal ritual of instilling a sense of morality, justice and beauty through story, these moments, illustrative of the love between parent and child, undercut the facile rhetoric of political agitation.

An exciting and rapidly edited portrait of a city that has risen like a phoenix from the ashes. Bogotá, capital of Colombia, was long notorious as one of the most criminal, dangerous, and inhospitable cities in the world. The turnabout came in 1995, when Antalas Mockus was elected mayor of the city in a landslide victory.

A Polish stewardess who has to spend the night in Copenhagen to board her next flight meets a Danish man who insists on taking her out. The night does not turn out quite like either of them had expected.
