Why watch this film?
No doubt, Jesse Owens is one of the greats in sports and athletics history. At the Berlin Olympics, in front of no one else than Adolf Hitler, Owens, a black man, was awarded gold medals in the 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay, and long jump. This situation angered the Führer, even though he politely greeted the athlete afterwards, and is a landmark in world sports. In this Canadian movie, ‘Race’ (which plays off of the word meaning both “race” and “run”) we get to know Owens’ path, the prejudice he experienced in the US and how the Olympic match unfolded. Despite being superficial and not giving space to the warm reception that the athlete received from some people in Germany, the film is competent – including in the performances.

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.
