Argentina y su fábrica de fútbol

Argentina is not a country with too many industries, but this documentary demonstrates that it has one very developed: the football industry. The film meticulously describes how a football star is "manufactured": from the work of the headhunters that roam the country seeking in lost villages children and preteens and even the work in the Primera División clubs like Boca Juniors and Estudiantes de La Plata, where they are formed to then be thrown into professionalism.

The Term. Beginning of a Big Story

The documentary project The Term was conceived in May 2012. When the directing trio commenced mapping the Russian sociopolitical landscape, Vladimir Putin had just settled into the Kremlin for his third term. The original experimental format of “documentary bulletins,” which were published daily online, allowed for wide-ranging content; in the feature film version, however, the filmmakers focused solely on the members of various opposition groups. Nevertheless, the work’s neutral position remains and viewers have to interpret the objectively presented situations for themselves. The main characteristics of this strongly authentic movie include close contact with the protagonists, precise editing, and an effectively controlled release of information.

Kushnir

A film about Pavel Kushnir — a musician who refused to compromise, in art or in conscience. A “great little man,” as his friends describe him, Pavel played sublime music for two elderly women in an empty community hall with the same devotion he would have brought to Carnegie Hall. He wrote extraordinary novels and dared to protest, fully aware of the consequences. In 2024, Pavel Kushnir died in a prison in Birobidzhan.

Builder

Builder tells the story of trail building, through the eyes of 15 of the sport's best riders and most creative builders. From the first shaky pedal strokes of youth, to the game-changing moves of the sport's top pros, you'll see how mountain biking is shaped by shovels and chainsaws in endless pursuit of the perfect ride.

Odoriko

Odoriko performances are intense, sometimes acrobatic choreographies, performed in sumptuous costumes—at least, until the costumes come off, because these dancers practice the Japanese form of striptease theater. The art was once popular, but is now seen only in a few clubs in the country. Filming on mini-DV tape, as if he is not actually in the room, director Yoichiro Okutani observes the unusual, traditional profession of the odoriko and the contrast with the modern, everyday questions the women struggle with.
