“I’ve already lived my death and now all that’s left is making a film about it,” director Héctor Babenco told Barbara Paz when he realized he had little time left. Paz accepted the challenge of fulfilling her late partner’s last wish: to be the main protagonist in a story about his death.

Indulging in one of South America’s greatest filmmakers life, where Babenco himself obscures his soul in intimate and painful situations. He expresses anxiety, memories, thoughts and fantasies, where there is a confrontation between his intellectual activity and physical weakness, which was the hallmarks of his career. Paz’s first feature is somehow Babenco’s last work.

Following the story of Luis Buñuel’s making of his second film, with the help of his friend sculptor Ramón Acín, after the controversy surrounding his first feature film “The Golden Age”, which left him without work as producers became reluctant to work with him.

A fun tribute to one of most iconic cinema figures. In an impressive animation form, the film sheds light on an unknown aspect of Buñuel’s life, his loyalty to his friend Ramón Acín whom together they made the film “Land Without Bread”. Buñuel insisted on including Acín’s name in the credits after he and his wife were killed in the Spanish Civil War by Franco’s troops.

Forman vs. Forman is a journey through the career of the extraordinary director Miloš Forman, who received the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival and two Oscars, through using special archival photos and videos in addition to a number of interviews which he previously gave.

The film goes through Forman’s career from the beginning and how his view of art has evolved. We are accompanied by his commentary, which made the film more of an autobiography. The filmmakers exerted effort in inserting the interviews to give the audience the feeling that they were given especially for the film.

Documentary, 2019, Color – Black&White, 60 min

Original Language: Italian

Director: Enrico Cerasuolo

Going back to the golden age of Italian cinema by diving deep into the life of star and icon Anna Magnani, the film uses archival footage featuring exclusive interviews with fellow stars, excerpts from TV shows and of course her films.

It is surprising that the filmmakers have found archival footage that has not been shown before, despite many years have passed. The affection in the film can be touched from the very first minute, which is an admiration befitting an actress who has become a symbol of everything that is honest and beautiful in cinema.
