USA / 2017

Before Anora, Sean Baker brought us The Florida Project — a vibrant, pastel-colored portrait of life on the margins of Orlando. In a shabby motel near Disney World, six-year-old Moonee spends the summer chasing small adventures with her friends, while her single mother struggles to make ends meet and the motel manager (Willem Dafoe, Oscar-nominated) tries to hold everything together. Tender, funny and heartbreaking, Baker captures both the innocence of childhood and the harshness of reality with rare humanity.

The land of Israel is the pearl of the Levant: a steaming hummus swamp; sea on one side, orchards on the other, and in between dunes and camels.
The show rides the imagery of Zionism, bourgeois comfort,

and the boredom of the bohemian class, accompanied by live electronic music and disguised as a wild party in a dark bar.

“The character appears and disappears, wandering among the audience, teasing them, then retreating inward.
She creates a scenario in which racism, sexism, and homophobia become politically correct.
A clandestine cult-like atmosphere emerges, where part of the audience becomes complicit and others fall into it by accident.
It builds a sharp sense of danger, where boundaries dissolve and someone might truly get hurt.”
— Lia Maoz Bergman, audience member

The Camel: Ariel Bronz

‘Some Notes on the Current Situation’, is a film about space, time, and wars composed of 6 episodes. Each episode sheds light on a different and unique perspective of the existential, human, and spiritual conditions of the present era.

These episodes, though somewhat divorced from reality, come together to form an absurdist footnote to the current events in the known universe

USA \ 2013

In the near future, a lonely writer develops an unlikely relationship with an operating system designed to meet his every need.

USA / 2025

The film follows the meteoric rise of Mark Kerr, a nearly unbeatable force inside the cage, alongside the intense inner battles that define his life outside it:

addiction to painkillers, crushing psychological pressure, and the impossible expectations of a brutal, unforgiving sports world.

Through his relationships with those around him – most notably a central female figure who tries to save him from himself – the film exposes the painful gap between the image of absolute strength and profound human fragility.

This is an intimate and unsparing portrait of a man who became a symbol, and of the personal cost paid by those expected to remain “unbreakable” at all times.

Starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, and directed by Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems), the film tells the story of the one and only mixed martial arts and UFC legend: Mark Kerr.

USA \ 1954

When a photojournalist confined to his apartment with a broken leg begins to suspect that

,a murder has taken place in the apartment across the courtyard, he is willing to do anything to confirm his suspicions

.even at the risk of those closest to him

On this narrative foundation, Alfred Hitchcock created one of the most brilliant thrillers in the history of cinema.

Yes, it can be read as an allegory for cinematic voyeurism, and yes, it features yet another Hitchcockian protagonist haunted by anxiety toward women. But at the end of the day, it is simply further proof of Hitchcock’s greatness.

The ingenious plot, the superb performances by James Stewart and Grace Kelly, and the virtuoso, self aware use of the camera come together to create a film that is both immensely entertaining and deeply thought provoking.

USA \ 2014

In 1970, drug-fueled Los Angeles private investigator Larry “Doc” Sportello investigates the disappearance of a former girlfriend.

Hong Kong / 1994

Sometimes we all feel the loneliness of the big city. This time, we’re not alone.

Two separate yet parallel stories follow two young policemen in Hong Kong, each grappling with lost love and isolation in a sprawling, colorful, and alienating city. Editor’s Pick 🙂

Cop 223 – recently dumped by his girlfriend, he clings to memory through cans of expired pineapple. One night, he encounters a mysterious woman in a blonde wig and trench coat (Brigitte Lin), who’s entangled in the world of smuggling and crime.

Cop 663 – heartbroken after a breakup with a flight attendant. A quirky snack-bar worker (Faye Wong) falls for him in secret, sneaks into his apartment, and begins altering small details—until she slowly awakens him to new life.

A dazzling mix of pop, surrealism, and romance. Rapid cuts and slow motion, neon lights, bold colors, and a restless handheld camera create the sensation of drifting through a dream. With “California Dreamin’” looping again and again, this stylish, poetic film captivated audiences worldwide—and was championed by Quentin Tarantino, who brought it to American screens.

USA / 2018

Acclaimed actor Jonah Hill makes his directorial debut with this beautifully observed film, set in the heart of the 1990s and focused on the skateboarding scene of Los Angeles.

At the center of the story is Stevie, a 13-year-old boy growing up with an emotionally distant mother and an unbearable older brother.

His life begins to change when he becomes involved with an older group of skaters, discovering skateboarding, friendship, and the raw energy of urban street culture.

Shot gorgeously on 16mm film and guided by sensitive direction, Hill crafts a moving coming-of-age journey about a young boy in search of identity, constantly testing his social boundaries, while meticulously recreating the spirit of the era through a rich soundtrack featuring original music by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross alongside tracks by Nirvana, Seal, Cypress Hill, and many others.

Japan / 2006

A psycho-philosophical anime — essentially a dream about dreams.

Imagine a device that lets you step directly into people’s dreams: to see them, experience them, even alter them. That’s exactly what the DC Mini does. But when the invention is stolen, the boundary between dream and reality begins to crumble, leading to a wild, colorful journey filled with imagination.

Enter Paprika — the dream alter ego of Dr. Chiba — a playful, wise, and enchanting heroine who must stop the chaos.

Director Satoshi Kon uses animation to create limitless visual sequences: flowing imagery, leaps between worlds, and the total dissolution of reality — things live action could never fully capture.

Spain / 1988

Almodóvar once again entangles his characters in acrobatic twists of plot, desire, and dark humor.

At the center of the film is a woman who plans to end her life after being abandoned by her lover — but her suicidal intentions are forced to wait.

A knock at the door interrupts her plans: a friend seeking refuge for her terrorist boyfriend. Soon after, the lover’s young son arrives, followed by his wife sipping a deadly drink, the police — and a cascade of further surprises.

What unfolds is a dizzying dance of emotional and comic chaos.

Nominated for the Academy Award, BAFTA, and Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, and a winner of major awards at the Venice and Toronto film festivals, as well as multiple Goya Awards and critics’ prizes.

USA \ 2004

Nine years after Jesse and Celine first met, they encounter each other again on the French leg of Jesse’s book tour.

Hong Kong / 2000

We love Wong Kar-wai, and we love stories about unfulfilled desire.

In early 1960s Hong Kong, Chow and Mrs. Chan move into a crowded apartment building. Over time, they discover that their spouses are having an affair. Out of this pain grows a fragile, delicate bond, filled with longing and a quiet human warmth that struggles to break free.

Wong Kar-wai has a gift for turning everyday moments into cinematic poetry. A fleeting glance in the hallway, a late-night bowl of noodles, a suit changed from one day to the next—all become vessels for expressing the inner worlds of his characters and their wounded hearts. The result is a mesmerizing, sensual, and deeply moving film that lingers long after the screen fades to black.
