Érase una vez en Qatar
Editor
Estamos a mediados de la década del noventa. Buena parte del mundo futbolístico occidental tiene que aprender una nueva palabra: Qatar. Porque ahí, en medio de un desierto mitológico, un puñado de chicos de diferentes países y orígenes van a jugar un mundial juvenil. Y van a ganar y perder muchas cosas: la infancia, la copa, la tristeza y la gloria. Después de Qatar, sus vidas no van a ser iguales. Este documental es el testimonio de un relato humano y deportivo que se vive como un thriller de iniciación juvenil. Esta es la historia de Qatar 95.

Cairo Affaire
Editor
"It felt like a spy movie." Mauro Andrizzi travelled to Tehran to present Iraqi Short Stories, his film that dealt with the 2003 US invasion of Iraq. After the screening, he was approached by an Iraqi lady, who pointed out some inaccuracies and wanted to have lunch with him to express her ideas about the war. This however was not the end of her interest in the Argentine filmmaker. A later trip took him to Egypt, where the air was full of conspiracy theories. Shark attacks in the Red Sea threatened to damage the tourism industry, and the government ordered hundreds of sharks to be hunted. Two weeks later, crocodiles started to attack people on the shores of the Nile. The last of Andrizzi's intriguing spy triptych takes us to Sana'a in Yemen and deals with the story of local Al Qaeda founder Anwar al Awlaki and a Croatian actress.
