In this section, we are screening ten films, including highlights from Berlin, Cannes and Venice. With FJORD, directed by Cristian Mungiu, we are delighted to present the winner of the Palme d’Or from Cannes, which is also representing Romania in the competition for the Best International Feature Film Oscar. Of the section’s four documentary films, no less than two are from Ukraine. The long-term study MARIINKA shows the impact that Russia’s war of aggression has had on young people. TRACES, Ukraine’s entry for the international Oscar, gives women who have been raped by Russian soldiers a chance to speak. In KILLING ANNA, the protagonist operates under a fake identity in order to uncover war crimes in Syria, while ONE IN A MILLION accompanies a family as they attempt to flee the country. In NOMAD SHADOW, a woman faces deportation to Western Sahara after 15 years in Spain. Fresh from an appearance in Venice comes A PLACE TO HEAL, a sympathetic yet stark portrait of the plight of young people in a psychiatric hospital. SKINTOWN takes us to Northern Ireland in 1994, and the 19th century Gothic love story NO REST FOR THE WICKED is set on the Faroe Islands. The program is rounded out by RAIN CATCHER, a neo-noir film from Great Britain.
