Road movie with a difference. The fascinating and often-harrowing fable of a donkey named EO, whose life becomes uncertain after losing his circus home. This donkey’s-eye view of the world sees mankind in all its madness; the laughter and the cruelty; the kindness and the killing; the love and the hatred intertwined. With breathtaking imagery and a bare minimum of dialogue, EO is a donkey-driven drama that'll stubbornly stick with you long after the credits roll. At 85 years of age, with over 20 feature films and major accolades behind him, legendary Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski is creating some of his finest work. EO is a thrilling and empathetic piece of filmmaking that compels us to see the world differently. The film premiered at the 75th Cannes Film Festival where it won the Jury Prize, tying with The Eight Mountains. Numerous other awards have followed. Submitted as Poland’s official entry, EO earned an Oscar nomination for Best International Feature Film at the 95t

Admired by Mozart, forgotten by history. Czech migrant Josef Mysliveček became one of the most acclaimed and prolific opera composers in eighteenth century Italy. This is the story of an artist able to charm the most demanding of audiences, the most famous performers, the impresarios, and even monarchs themselves. Petr Václav’s episodic script includes Mysliveček’s life as a cosmopolitan playboy interloper in Italian high society, breaking hearts along his adventurous and turbulent way. The film’s Italian milieu is presented in that transitional state between Baroque grandiloquence and Classical lightness, vividly fusing rich historical locations with grandiose design work. The music of course is glorious, featuring Václav Luks’s renowned Baroque orchestra Collegium 1704 with Mysliveček's operatic arias performed by some of the world's leading operatic soloists, such as Philippe Jaroussky, Simona Šaturová, Raffaella Milanesi, Emőke Baráth, and Krystian Adam. Il Boemo (The Bohem

A moving universal story about love and loss. A close-knit family is disrupted when the adventurous, eccentric and fun father fails to resurface during a dive in one of the world’s deepest underwater caves (in the Karoo, South Africa).

Her young children meanwhile become entangled in their own search for answers as the family grapples to face the loss and start a new life together in their own unique ways. Strong character chemistry and compelling performances provide Narcosis with a mature and refreshing authenticity in the family’s approach to grief and their changed world.

Set in a village in the Northeast of England where the mine closed, people feel deserted by the system, and there is growing anger, resentment, and a lack of hope. Houses are cheap and available thus making it an ideal location for the Syrian refugees that have been accepted by Britain in recent years. How will the Syrians be received? And what will be the future for the last remaining pub in the village, The Old Oak? Legendary filmmaker Ken Loach is known for tackling social issues such as poverty, homelessness and labour rights, all of which contextualise the background of this film. Fresh from competition in Cannes where Loach holds the record for having the most films in competition, including two Palm d’Or wins, The Old Oak may be Loach’s last film – if so, it is a highly fitting swansong! Direct and to the point with no punches pulled, The Old Oak is ultimately, hugely, about compassion and kindness.

Leo and Remi are two thirteen-year-old best friends, whose close friendship is thrown into disarray when their schoolmates notice their intimacy, causing a rift between them.

Close is an emotionally transformative and unforgettable portrait of the intersection of friendship and love, identity and independence, and heartbreak and healing. Sensitively directed by Lukas Dhont, Close was winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, following on Dhont’s 2018 success with Girl, also a big winner at Cannes. Close took seven prizes at Belgium’s Magritte Awards, amongst others, and went on to earn an Oscar nomination at the 2023 Academy Awards. In June, Close won the Lux European Audience Film Award following more than 500 screenings set up for the event across the European Union.

When one of her students is suspected of theft the young sports and math teacher Carla Nowak decides to get to the bottom of the matter on her own. Idealistic, sympathetic and committed to her students, Carla tries to mediate between outraged parents, opinionated colleagues and aggressive students, but is relentlessly confronted with prejudice, cliquey dynamics and divisions, and the strictures of the school system. Things escalate rather quickly and dramatically, not always the way Carla intends. Tightly packaged and crackling with tension, The Teachers’ Lounge is about a lot of things — conformity, rebellion, racism, optics, and intergenerational mistrust. This 3rd feature by İlker Çatak swept up the top prizes at this year’s German Film Awards: Best Film, Best Direction, Best Actress, Best Screenplay. Leonie Benesch, one of the Berlinale’s 2023 Shooting Stars, puts in a breakout performance as Carla, one that will remain with you long after the lights have come on.

“How come everyone knows who they are and I don’t?” During a summer in the Basque Country among the beehives, an eight-year-old child explores his identity alongside the women of his family, who at the same time reflect on the multi-layered complexities of their own lives. Family traumas start to roll out of the closet while the mother fully accepts her young child’s transformation and also sees it as a stand against an intolerant world. This richly textured chronicle of an 8-year-old’s gradual transitioning, and the effect it has on a family, is ultimately about tolerance and acceptance as much as it is a fascinating study of womanhood that extends beyond motherhood. At the film’s 2023 Berlinale premiere the young and endearing Sofia Otero won the Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance at the festival, while the film itself received the Prize of the Guild of German Art House Cinemas, and the Berliner Morgenpost Reader’s Jury Award.

Teenager Magda offers her expensive necklace to a sick child, bringing her into conflict with her controlling father who is certain she is lying again. Faced with the truth, he feels ashamed and guilty, but is incapable of admitting he was wrong. With relationships now broken it’s time for everyone to face up to their own traumas. With an incisive Kafkanian approach, director Emanuel Pârvu cleverly unwraps a complicated situation, full of hovering ambiguities and power dynamics. Raising questions about moral and possibly criminal responsibility, Mikado evolves from a minor family drama to serious social drama. This 2nd feature marks Pârvu as one of the notable new wave of directors emerging from Eastern Europe.

Goodbye Julia tells the story of two women who represent the complicated relationship and differences between northern and southern Sudanese communities. The multi-layered narrative takes place in Khartoum during the last years of Sudan as a united country, shortly before the 2011 separation of South Sudan. Mona, an upper-middle-class former popular singer from the North, who lives with her husband Akram, seeks to attenuate her feelings of guilt for causing the death of a Southern man by employing Julia, his unsuspecting widow, as her maid. Supported by superb cinematography by South African Pierre de Villiers and a moving musical score by Sudanese musician Mazin Hamid recorded during ongoing clashes between the military and civil society in Khartoum, this is an astonishing directorial debut by the largely self-taught filmmaker Mohammed Kordofani. Goodbye Julia is the first film from Sudan ever to be presented in the Cannes Film Festival where it walked away with the prestigious P
