Poster for H*art On

2017 · ★ 5.0 (3)

H*ART ON dives off the deep end of modern art. A film about the yearning to create, to mould everyday emotions into a meaningful life and, most of all, to live beyond one's death. A struggle that gets to the existential core of each of us. How do you find meaning in everyday fear, love, sex and loneliness?

Poster for Minbera

2026 · ★ 0.0 (0)

“Minbera” is a drama about a Basque family forced to confront a situation they can no longer ignore. This film explores the different mechanisms humans use to cope with death: trauma, guilt, shame, and grief. This work advocates for the study of individual processes, unique experiences that should not be ignored. How can one adapt to an irrational reality, full of nonsense, rewards for deaths, finger-pointing, and violence? Eighteen-year-old Fitz and his 12-year-old sister Lur must face this question.

Poster for Family Portrait

1992 · ★ 6.2 (5)

After laying bare backward village mentalities in Bloody Morning, Li Shaohong turns her attention to China’s urban middle class. Cao is a photographer, married to an opera singer and with an infant son, caught in the usual professional morass of political compromise. His life starts to fall apart when he learns that his ex-wife also bore him a son some months after their divorce – and when the boy turns up looking for his father. Nothing wildly dramatic, just believable people in believable situations. If the ending seems a touch forced, this is nevertheless a sign that ‘Fifth Generation’ cinema is changing and coming to terms with up-to-date realities.

Poster for Brooklyn Castle

2012 · ★ 6.8 (19)

Brooklyn Castle is a documentary about I.S. 318 – an inner-city school where more than 65 percent of students are from homes with incomes below the federal poverty level – that also happens to have the best, most winning junior high school chess team in the country. (If Albert Einstein, who was rated 1800, were to join the team, he’d only rank fifth best.) Chess has transformed the school from one cited in 2003 as a “school in need of improvement” to one of New York City’s best. But a series of recession-driven public school budget cuts now threaten to undermine those hard-won successes.
