Rome, 1970s: a world suspended between neighbourhoods under construction, tv shows still in black and white, and social achievements and family models that are now outdated.
Clara and Felice have just moved into a new apartment. Their marriage is over: they no longer love each other but can’t break up. Only their children, on whom Clara pours all her desire for freedom, keep them together. Adriana, the eldest, has just turned 12 and is the most attentive witness to Clara’s moods and the growing tensions between her parents. Adriana rejects her name and identity and wants to convince everyone that she is a boy. Her obstinacy brings the already fragile family balance to a breaking point.
While the children are waiting for a sign that might guide them – a voice from above or a song on the tv – everything changes both around and inside them.

Screening in cooperation with The Gila Project for Trans Empowerment

“Swallowed” is the fascinating new nightmare by horror master Carter Smith (“The Ruins”, 2008), and please note – this is a one and only screening, so if you’re a Horror fan – this is a must!
“Swallowed” is a Body Horror movie, it has a queer, hot and smart hero, whose dream is to become a successful porn star.
Right before Benjamin leaves his small town to go to L.A. to follow his dream, he is tempted to join his childhood friend Dom in what looks like an easy money scheme – all they have to do is take a package from the U.S.A to Canada. What they don’t know is that this is going to be their worst nightmare, when a violent criminal (Jena Malone, “The Hunger Games”) will force them to swallow strange packets full of weird bugs so they can cross the border safely without arousing suspicion. On the other side of the border they’ll meet horror films legend Mark Patton (“A Nightmare on Elm street 2: Freddy’s revenge”), in a particularly creepy role. Naturally, everything that could go wrong will go wrong, and the two friends will have to survive a horrible night of hell with a psycho and strange bugs inside them, that the only way to get out is…

Viewing is 18+ due to explicit nudity, graphic violence and other horrors.

New, award-winning film by Todd Fields (“In the Bedroom”, “Little Children”), starring Cate Blanchett, winner of two Oscars (“The Pilot”, “Blue Jasmine”) and, according to the film critics around the world, she has a very good chance to win Oscar for the third time for her role in this film.
A pulsating and mesmerizing drama, epic and intimate, that brings to the screen the story of Lydia Tár: a multi-award winning musician at the height of her career, who mange and conducts the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra with a masterful hand and lives a seemingly normal family life. But at the same time, beneath the surface, the successful star hides dark secrets that threaten everything she has achieved.
By Blanchett’s side are two highly regarded European film stars:
Noémie Merlant (“Portrait of a Lady on Fire”, “Paris, 13th District”) and Nina Hoss (the series “Homeland” and Netflix’s “The Defeated” and the films: “Phoenix”, “Barbara” and “The Contractor”).
