Why watch this film?
How can we make sense of life, which at any moment can strip us forever of everything that matters to us? It's an ineffable search that is nevertheless common, necessary, and eternal in the human experience, something that Mexican documentary 'Los ojos del mar' manages to demonstrate with great sensitivity. The story starts with the mysterious disappearance of the fishing boat Black Fin, in Veracruz, Mexico; and it is told from the perspective of Hortensia, alias "La morena", who takes it upon herself to help the families of the missing find a way to say goodbye to those who disappeared into the sea. Documentarist José Álvarez ('Canícula', 'Flores en el desierto') not only allows us to take a look at the routines of those who live off fishing, but also at the very particular mourning process, in the mouths of the orphans and widows, frustrated by the immense power of the sea that devours everything.

Apollo 13: Survival
The classic Ron Howard drama with Tom Hanks, Apollo 13, tells a true story about a failed space mission in such a thrilling way that it begs the question of what was real and what was artistic license. The documentary Apollo 13: Survival reveals recordings that suggest much of it happened just as portrayed. However, what stands out here is BAFTA-nominated director Peter Middleton’s (The Real Charlie Chaplin) mastery in taking archival material and not only weaving it into an exciting narrative but also making it chillingly realistic and urgent. It might even be the superior film on the subject.
