Seances
Seances, co-created with the National Film Board of Canada, presents a wholly new way of experiencing film narrative. By dynamically generating a series of film sequences in unique configurations, potentially hundreds of thousands of new stories are conjured by code. Each will exist only in the moment—no pausing, scrubbing, or sharing—offering the audience one chance to see the generated film. This project, co-created by the ever imaginative Guy Maddin, is a visual discourse on the impact of loss within film. All the sequences pay homage to lost silent films from the early day of cinema. Seances is nostalgic but it is also frequently hilarious. Part of the joy and sadness of Seances is that many possible narratives are created but they can be only viewed once before they disappear forever.

파솔리니
Laura Betti
는 시인이자 영화감독이었던 이탈리아 거장 피에르 파올로 파솔리니의 마지막 하루를 재구성한 문제작이다. 1975년 11월2일 살해 당일 파솔리니는 어머니와 몇몇 가까운 친구들과 함께 시간을 보낸 후 로마로 밤의 유희를 즐기러 떠난다. 다음 날 오스티 해변가에서 그의 시신이 발견된다. 파솔리니만큼 많은 스캔들을 불러일으킨 영화사의 거장도 없을 것이다. (1971), (1975) 등 검열에 도전하는 파격적이고 불편한 영화들을 만들었으며 그의 작품에 대해서는 늘 찬반양론이 엇갈렸다. 이를 반영이라도 하듯 페라라의 신작은 파솔리니의 영화 일부를 스크린에 투영하며 문을 열고, 그것을 들여다보는 거장의 모습으로 옮겨간다. 세계적인 성격파 배우 윌렘 데포가 파솔리니 역을 맡아 열연한 이 영화는 아벨 페라라와 윌렘 데포 콤비가 만들어낸 최신작으로 현실과 판타지를 넘나드는 강렬함으로 가득하다.

Agnès
Dominican friar Etienne de Bourbon visits a 13th-century French village in search of heretics for the Inquisition. Despite the opposition of the local priest and the indifference of the villagers, he finds a seemingly perfect suspect: a young woman who lives in a forest outside the village and cures people with herbs and folk remedies.

Vertiges
In a specialized, hermetic drama about love won and lost, not necessarily by the same individuals, novice director Christine Laurent has focused on the backstage melodramas of an opera company. The conductor for an upcoming performance of the Marriage of Figaro has his mind and heart on other matters -- an entrancing diva who keeps him enraptured with her presence and voice. In the meantime, he finds fault with his cast members who cannot, of course, measure up to the woman of his dreams. As singers encounter one problem or another, it is clear that something has to be done about the conductor. Director Laurent designed costumes for both theater and opera, giving her some insight into the venue.

A Estrangeira
Ana as a Child
The shady side of an Italian textile trade in northern Germany is the subject of this slow-paced but atmospheric drama featuring Alberto Sordi as Totonno, a low-level, petty criminal anxious to move up a somewhat crooked ladder. Rising to the rank of the "dons" -- Don Raffaele (Carmine Ippolito) or Don Gennaro (Pasquale Cenammo) -- is not an easy task, as Totonno is about to find out. In the meantime, Paula (Belinda Lee) provides a romantic distraction, and another would-be entrepreneur opts for the straight and narrow. This uneven feature offers some colorful performances but the sum is less convincing than its parts.
