Chaix
Parisian authorities clash with the Front de Libération Nationale (FLN) in director Alain Tasma’s recounting of one of the darkest moments of the Algerian War of Independence. As the war wound to a close and violence persisted in the streets of Paris, the FLN and its supporters adopted the tactic of murdering French policemen in hopes of forcing a withdrawal. When French law enforcement retaliated by brutalizing Algerians and imposing a strict curfew, the FLN organizes a peaceful demonstration that drew over 11,000 supporters, resulting in an order from the Paris police chief to take brutal countermeasures. Told through the eyes of both French policemen as well as Algerian protestors, Tasma’s film attempts to get to the root of the tragedy by presenting both sides of the story.

Published in Paris in 1954, Story of O was an immediate bestseller and literary scandal: an elegantly written S&M fantasy that had all the hallmarks of being an autobiographical account by the pseudonymous Pauline Réage. In 1994 Dominique Aury, a mild-mannered, dowdy editor for France’s prestigious Gallimard press, revealed her authorship. Pola Rapaport explores Aury's inspiration, recreating the world of '50s literary Paris and setting it against dramatic sequences that bring the infamous book to life. The author as well as various French intellectuals expound on the thorny relationship between sexuality and power, submission and freedom, liberation and non-being.

Dr. Randeller
Непобедимым чемпионом мира, Акивой Либскиндом гордится весь Советский Союз, но его слабое сердце может оборвать цепь его побед. Его противник — Павиус Фромм, сбежавший из Советского Союза. Когда чемпионат начинается, Фромм пытается нарушить его расписание и таким образом сбить концентрацию Либскинда, опоздав на первый ход. Его привычная наглость и общее презрение к правилам вынуждают Либскинда подать формальную жалобу жюри. Когда Липскинд угрожает отъездом, Фромм подает назад и пишет формальное извинение, чтобы не потерять шанс победить чемпиона. В результате таких ходов вне шахматной доски оба шахматиста начинают сдавать — Либскинд физически, а Фромм — ментально. Но шахматисты, однако, всего лишь пешки в большой политической игре между Советским Союзом и Западом. Режиссер Дембо вынес на экран в первую очередь эмоциональную битву между двумя незаурядными личностями, а не саму игру.
