Remember my name

SYNOPSIS

After crossing the Melilla fence from Morocco, Ihsane enters the "Divina Infantita" nuns' reception centre, where Assia and Nuhaila live. Hamza turns 18 and has to leave La Purísima, the reception centre for unaccompanied boys. They all arrived alone in Melilla but have found a new family: the NANA dance company. After months of hard work, they are selected to participate in a famous TV talent show, where they experience a mirage that seems to take them away from their reality for a few days and that vanishes in a flash when the spotlight goes out.

Tolyatti adrift

SYNOPSIS

Tolyatti, once the symbol of socialist pride, is today the Russian Detroit, a limbo city where there is no future for the youth. In this hopeless environment, Boyevaya Klassika arises, a movement that rescues iconic old Lada cars from the local factory to turn them into a means of rebelliousness and expression that explores the conflicts and dreams of the youth in one of the poorest cities in Russia. We follow Slava, Misha & Lera in the year that they have to face for the first time, their adulthood in a place where the future seems to be a dystopia.

Magaluf Ghost Town

SYNOPSIS

Strange things happen in the Balearic coast: smell of pee and blood, police cars and ambulances going through the streets without anyone paying attention to it. Shouts in the middle of the night that can be understood as both happiness or suffering. Every year, one million tourists, majority of them brits, crowd the streets of Magaluf during the summer. In an almost ghostlike fashion they invade the public space and transform it to a thematic park where everything is allowed. The small and calm town with a population of 4.500 inhabitants, turns into the Balearic Twin Peaks where residents live in an absurd daily tensionfield between doomful ambience and genuine holiday pleasure. Magaluf turns into a very concrete manifestation of the european low-cost tourist paradigm and life. A tourist paradigm based on nightlife-business and wild, excessive entertainment. The locals try to coexist in the middle of the contradictory tensionfield of this tourist model. A model that feels like an invasion but on the other hand produces millions of euros and jobs in the tourist sector (and therefore enables the locals to live an economically better life.)

SYNOPSIS

In the summer of 1961, a group of young Italian anthropologists made a clandestine journey through Spain, in order to record popular songs that supported anti-Franco resistance. As a result of their work, they were prosecuted and their recordings were censored. Sixty years later, and guided by Emilio Jona, aged 92, the last living member of that group of travellers, we recover the unpublished recordings and reconstruct the journey, today, across an emotional and political landscape, regaining historical memories through these songs, as relevant today as they were then.

Les perseides

SYNOPSIS

Las leyendas de la zona relatan que el pueblo y la central térmica de un pequeño pueblo de Aragón se construyeron sobre terreno de batalla de la Guerra Civil española, sobre los cuerpos de cadáveres sin desenterrar. Los fantasmas y los espíritus siguen deambulando por sus calles y edificios, medio abandonadas en la actualidad. Mar llega al pueblo para pasar el verano más extraño de su vida después del divorcio de sus padres. La niña se refugia en esas misteriosas leyendas de postguerra que flotan en en el pueblo a través del grupo de adolescentes que viven con unas reglas distintas a las que ella conoce. Incapaz de distinguir la ficción de la realidad, Mar irá descubriendo un lugar más fascinante de lo que parecía que hará que haga las paces con su padre, conciliando los vínculos familiares con la memoria histórica de nuestro país, desde el punto de vista de una adolescente actual.

L’Intrús

SYNOPSIS

Sito is a teenager who hates the countryside, the smell of slurry, farms and village life, but he has never left the rural area where he was born, nor does it seem that the possibility of doing so can end his discomfort. Because right now, what really torments him is the presence of an openly homosexual young man in town. Attracted by a strong desire towards the male erotic, Sito lives immersed in a crusade to destroy the stimuli that connect him with those repressed feelings that he has latent inside him. From these circumstances, violence appears uncontrollably.
