Arsen A. Ostojic - CR – 2004 – fiction - black & white – 100’ – OV – STT FR / NL

A handful of people come and go in the medieval quarter of Split in Croatia. A small-time dealer, a junkie in need of a fix, a widow and her young son, an adolescent couple and American soldiers on leave…their destinies cross and their lives change at midnight. This elegant black-and-white film by Arsen Anton Ostojic is powerfully engaging, at once poetic and subtle.

Frank Miller / Robert Rodriguez - USA – 2005 – fiction – black&white+ color – 124’ – OV – STT FR / NL

Robert Rodriguez (El Mariachi) adapts Frank Miller’s cult comic. The film mingles several stories in a doubly black universe – both the genre and the inky contrasted images. With the participation of famous actors, including Bruce Willis and Mickey Rourke. A technical bravura piece, richly atmospheric and uninhibitedly violent that draws inspiration from the dark thrillers of the 1940s and 50s with their mad gangsters, femmes fatales and corrupt cops.

Pedro Aguilera - E / MX - 2006 - fiction - color - 83' - OV - STT FR / NL

Winner of the Film Archives’ Prix de l’Age d’Or in 2007, Pedro Aguilera’s intense and captivating movie focuses on a young woman manhandled by fate. First she looses her shop and everything she owns, then she doubts whether she can bring up her children, then she sinks into depression. But the children take things in hand. Aguilera says he was inspired by religious paintings, and his film is admirably handled, haunted by death, yet full of hope. An intensely emotional experience.

With: Jimena Jiménez, Romeo Manzanedo, Paloma Morales
