This luminous miniature of speculative science fiction from Portuguese artist-filmmaker Pedro Neves Marques ponders the very meaning of the nuclear family. Shot on 16mm and bathed in natural light, Becoming Male in the Middle Ages is a provocative meditation on gender, identity, and reproduction.
Exclusively now showing (almost) globally here.
Scrappy low-budget filmmaking has a new kid on the block in actor, director, and writer Kit Zauhar. Zeroing in on an Asian-American student’s premature case of postgraduate drift, she brings an altogether different charm to independent cinema with her wry, plucky, and perceptive first film.

Now showing here.
Amid a tornado of violent passions and fantasies, Tilda Swinton is an ethereal vision of innocence and ferocity in Christoph Schlingensief’s apocalyptic parable. Creeping through a phantasmagorical landscape, Nosferatu-style, Udo Kier triumphs at what he does best: playing the Devil with style.
Now showing here.
A deeply compassionate sibling drama that swept the board at the Swiss Film Awards, this intimately observed tale of terminal illness swerves cliché at every turn. Boasting a pair of superb performances from Lars Eidinger and the inimitable Nina Hoss, My Little Sister is a tender, understated gem.
