Filmed over four years, from Mexico City to Chicago, this documentary is a raw and intimate account of the creation of "Corazón Cicatrizado" (Scarred Heart) — an original and gut wrenching play, rooted in Mexico's deepest wounds: Ayotzinapa and Tlatelolco. With testimonies from different artists who lived the process in the flesh, this is the story behind "Corazón Cicatrizado," and the repeated attempts to bring it to life.
For eight years, Ferdinando has stopped speaking with people. In the solitude of his Milan apartment, he cooks, practices singing, and does an improbable form of gymnastics. He is paid to keep company to Genziana, a wealthy and cultured lady, who needs to connect with a deep soul akin to her own. Ferdinando reads her passages of literature. She narrates the happy fragments of her life, now vanished: she is a widow, her children are far away, the house is empty and silent. In his free time, Ferdinando visits modernist architecture and spiritual places. His isolation is interrupted by calls from Domenico, an eccentric who rambles about lofty subjects, aware that he cannot break his friend's mutism.
When a successful writer learns her boyfriend is engaged to her former college friend, the two women reconnect and team up with her best friend, turning a painful betrayal into an unexpected journey of friendship and healing.

A man, an actor. The man calls himself Zorro — he lives on the streets, dances at night, and spends his days following “normal” people to expose their hypocrisy and insecurity. And the actor? The actor is also a drifter, living like a wanderer, and night after night, theater after theater, the man’s words end up infecting his psyche — and that of those who listen, seated in the audience. The new work by Castellitto, ironically suspended between theater and life.
Bodies in water, merging, submerging, emerging. Our last summer in Sea Bright; chosen family in a bright sea. My beautiful queer and trans friends, finding heaven on a nude beach, their youth and euphoria captured in amber. Matisse. A rebirth and a return to the source.
A satirical dive into the mind-melting media simulacra of the internet and reality TV, Jake Brush’s exercise in brain rot uses a real episode of Hoarders as a jumping off point into a frazzled cacophony of neon techno-noise and bizarre caricatures. Through absurdist monologue, whirlwind editing, and crackling animation, this short blends Marshal McLuhan and Jake Paul to take down our pervasive era of smoothbrain infoglut.

What happens when humanity fails to learn from its mistakes? Fairytale images, symbols, and transformations speak to show the past as a living resonance chamber. "Once upon a time" becomes a touchstone for the present. Fairy tales with motifs of loss, transformation, and rescue form a cultural echo that extends beyond childhood. At the center is a dialogue with photographer Gerty Deutsch. Based on her images, Catrine Val developed a new, cinematic-poetic language in which singing becomes the ultimate form of expression—where words no longer suffice.
How do historical revisionism and negationism work today? The film examines this question using the example of the peace statues for the "comfort women" of World War II—victims of human trafficking—which are to be removed from public spaces. It is a rarely told story of decades of revisionism and worldwide resistance. The victims were mostly poor women and girls whose stories were long ignored. Can denial and erasure completely wipe out the past? Will the truth remain hidden forever, or will it be replaced by an idealized past?
The War in Kassel and Chongqing - Explorations from the protagonist's perspective. She travels through the last words and remnants of the war to Chongqing and Kassel, two cities 7,900 kilometers apart. Although she lived there for a long time, she never experienced the war herself. As someone who grew up in a world heavily influenced by electronic media, images nevertheless give her an idea of the pain and depth. Images make the extent of the war visible and allow the horrors to be felt even beyond actual experience.
Four friends whose lives have taken them in different directions meet again.

Over several years, Elsa Deshors films the meetings with her friends - a film like a road trip that shows us how difficult it is to be a female read person, and how friendship, mutual understanding, and support help us to come to terms with the past and find a way towards the future.
