A exploração da conexão da humanidade com a vida selvagem e as mudanças climáticas.

Weather conditions are becoming more extreme. A giant, stranded whale, seals with plastic in their bodies, oil-coated swans and dolphins that have been rammed by ships – these patients require emergency medical care. The director portrays the critical relationship between humans and wild animals and the consequences of climate change, in profound documental images which are more impactful than any explanation.

Nas profundezas das florestas do norte da Itália reside a premiada trufa branca Alba. Desejada pelos clientes mais ricos do mundo, continua sendo um mistério pungente, porém rarefeito. Ela não pode ser cultivada ou encontrada, mesmo pelas escavadeiras modernas mais engenhosas. As únicas almas na Terra que sabem como desenterrá-la são um pequeno círculo de cães e seus companheiros humanos de cabelos prateados anciãos italianos com bengalas e humor ácido que só procuram a trufa à noite para não dar qualquer pista para os outros. Ainda assim, esse pequeno enclave de caçadores induz um mercado febril de compras que abrange o mundo.

The relationship between Greenland and Denmark is full of fantasy and myths. And these are exactly what Danish artist Lasse Lau reflects upon – and in turn documents – in his first feature-length film. But how do you give a form to the Greenlandic experience when you are an outsider yourself? Lau has created a sensitive film about authenticity and recreation by letting both elements become a part of the work, together with his performers. But also by watching and listening intently. The colonial history is entrenched in both Greenland's infinitely beautiful landscapes and in the collective consciousness. But so is the willingness to break with it and look ahead with a new political self-awareness. 'Lykkelænder' is the result of a long-term research project, but talks about its extremely complex topics in a way that grounds the postcolonial perspective in a recognisable life experience. It does so with both a sense of humour and with emphasis.

Num país onde os assassinos são celebrados como heróis, o realizador e a sua equipa desafiaram os líderes impenitentes dos esquadrões da morte a encenar o seu papel no genocídio. O resultado alucinante é um delirante sonho cinematográfico, um mergulho perturbador nas profundezas da imaginação de assassinos em massa e no chocante regime de corrupção e impunidade banais em que vivem.

When the global economy collapses the only true victors are those that weren't invited to the boom. Petey plays in a band and works in a pornography warehouse; Ginger works the night shift in a bar. From opposite coasts of the country, the two provide their personal takes on individual vs. collective crisis, together weaving a narrative that exposes a wasteland of shattered economic dreams, unfulfilled social promises and a bleak reality that only music and friendship can float freely above.
