Close by Lukas Dhont
Following a perfect summer vacation, the intimate friendship of Leo and Remi, thirteen-year-old best friends, is tragically tested by the social pressures of the new school year. TICKETS.
The Natural History of Destruction by Sergei Loznitsa
In this mesmerizing documentary crafted entirely from WWII archival footage, Ukrainian-raised filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa (Donbass) mounts a harrowing critique of the killing of civilian populations during war-time. TICKETS.
The Woodcutter Story by Mikko Myllylahti
