Why watch this film?
It seems that in every corner of the world there are overly conventional expectations about love and sex, especially concerning women. Selected and acclaimed at various international festivals (including the Directors' Fortnight at Cannes), Blackbird Blackbird Blackberry is a Georgian film that follows a 48-year-old woman, Etero (Eka Chavleishvili), who faces daily comments about her singleness. She sharply opposes the societal—and patriarchal—norms that expect her to marry a man, but a fortuitous event opens her up to love... and causes her to wrestle with her freedom and expectations. Filled with tender eroticism and very subtle comedy, this is an excellent film for reflecting on the dominant expectations about romantic love.

Wet Sand
Coming from the rich contemporary Georgian cinema, 'Wet Sand' follows a more conventional linear narrative structure. The story takes place in a small town on the Black Sea coast of Georgia, a tight-knit community where everyone knows each other. Until a man is found hanged and his granddaughter comes to organize his funeral, uncovering a web of lies and secrets about her grandfather's love life. It's a narrative full of mystery and intrigue, tackling the entrenched intolerance in small, closed communities, contrasting with the beauty and authenticity of love.

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.
