Why watch this film?
Awarded at the Morelia Film Festival for Naian Gonzalez Norvind's performance, 'Leona' is a powerful Mexican film about the tensions between who we want to be and who others want us to be. The story follows Ariela, a young Jewish artist who is pressured by her family to find a partner within her community. However, she falls in love with a non-Jewish man who shows her the possibilities that exist beyond her social circle. With her performance, Gonzalez Norvind carries the film on her back, which directly addresses the contradictions and anachronisms of a closed and yet highly macho community.

Como el mar
Como el mar is an Argentine film where a young woman, Azul (Zoe Hochbaum), discovers that her supposed older sister (Sofía Gala Castiglione) is actually her biological mother, and the mother who has just died was really her grandmother. Seeking answers about her father, they embark on a journey to Uruguay, where they must transform their bond. This road movie moves at a slow, contemplative pace, focusing more on exploring feelings than events, which may seem too simplistic for those looking for complex dramas. However, it's an emotional film, and the performance of the legendary Carmen Maura (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) is definitely worth watching.

My First Film
Many filmmakers spend their lives trying to sustain their creative careers, unaware of their missteps. In My First Film, the debut feature of director Zia Anger (who has created videos for artists like Mitski and Beach House), we see the opposite: a filmmaker who looks back and reconstructs what went wrong in her disastrous first attempt when she was younger. Past and present blend with reality and fiction (featuring artists like Odessa Young), in a film that recreates not just events but emotions. There are many meta and revisionist films, but My First Film is the most fascinating since 2018's Shirkers, at the very least.

Borders of Love
Petr and Hana, who after years together share their unspoken erotic fantasies. What begins as an innocent conversation gradually turns into experimentation with other partners and increasingly pushing the limits of just how far they can go with a non-monogamous relationship before it gets out of hand.
