BATTLE

Director: Mohamed Ouachen.
Le héros de cette histoire qui se déroule à Bruxelles est Mounir, danseur dans un collectif de hip hop. À l'approche de la trentaine, face à la réalité sociale et à l'incompréhension de sa famille, Mounir se sent contraint de faire un choix entre son rêve et la réalité. Il rencontre alors Rabia, issue d'une famille mixte (chrétien-musulman) qui va le pousser à choisir ce que lui dicte son coeur.

Behind Closed Doors

Director: Mohammed ben Souda.

Sexual harassment  in modern Marocco, one way out really being smarter...  

Samira is a happily married woman. When a new office director arrives, his sexual harassment turns her life upside down. She tries everything to dissuade him, but he will stop at nothing. She conceives a plan to get evidence and freedom from his power.

BEHIND THE RAINBOW

Director: Jihan EL TAHRI .
This absorbing documentary follows the transition of the ANC from a liberation organisation into South Africa's ruling party. On 20 September 2008, Jacob Zuma, the president of the ruling African National Congress, toppled the South African president Thabo Mbeki from power when his party's national executive committee voted to sack him. Mbeki accepted his political demise calmly, welcomed the news and agreed to go quietly. The vote to oust him was the culmination of an epic power struggle between Mbeki, seen by many as an aloof intellectual the ANC sent into exile for 28 years, and Zuma, the Zulu farm-boy with no formal education who spent 10 years in jail on Robben Island, and who earlier this year became South Africa's third president since the end of apartheid. This absorbing documentary follows the transition of the ANC from a liberation organisation into South Africa's ruling party, through the evolution of the relationship between Mbeki and Zuma. The two men, both 66 and once comrades-in-arms, have been engaged in a bitter power struggle that has threatened to destroy the movement that enfranchised black South Africans, and to drag the country deeper into turmoil. Behind the Rainbow features key interviews with senior ANC personnel including Jacob Zuma, Kgalema Motlanthe, Pallo Jordan, Thabo Mbeki and Terror Lekota.

BERNARD 2019

Director: Alex Quiroga.
  • BERNARD a movie by Alex Quiroga

    Hernán and Marie Christine are two brothers who live in Pátzcuaro, Michoacán. Hernán is an architect, Christine is a health therapist. One day they receive a call informing them that their father who lives in France is terminally ill with Alzheimer's disease. They have to decide whether to go see him or not because he left his mother long ago and they have not heard from him for years. They must make a decision and soon. Lives are very personal issues, one can say that isolated, if you think of an initial instance, within what we understand as the development of individual consciousness but, when expressing them in a global vision, by communicating those individualities, by making those silent reflective acts, where consciousness seems to be shared, or parts of a fragmented reality, it is in these fractions of visions that we have of reality, and that by uniting them they show us a much bigger picture, than at first we could have obtained, it is a space of more formative understanding in terms of the levels of spiritual and logical issues. It is in the union of all the individual visions, that when sharing them, they group and conglomerate that space where a greater explanation can still be found, a group unit of this act that has the search for the meaning of life, while we are and , in which we are given this ability to understand the meaning of a humanity that awakens the experience that we understand as life. And as a whole humanity, we stop to perceive in a different way what experience is, as individuals and beings that reproduce continuously and, experience has no time, has no space; It is our bodies that confine themselves to these reductions, where consciousness, outside of any physical question, is sought after visualization, perhaps reaching to understand 'the moment' in which the understanding of 'I UNDERSTAND' is produced that moment, that precise moment in which the conscience appears to us as a clearer situation, and which, for some reason, we say to ourselves' it is true 'It is there, that spirituality marks the limits, there is an inside and there is an outside, and they interpose to generate that our act of conscience, which remains a mystery.

CUBA, AN AFRICAN ODYSSEY

Director: Jihan EL TAHRI .
An untold story about the cold war on the African continent, or the defeat of an ideal, internationalism, which Cuban guerrillas failed to defend. In Africa, in the early '60s, four adversaries with conflicting interests face off: the Soviets want to expand their influence; the United States intend to appropriate the continent's natural riches; the former empires seek to revive their shaky colonial power; and the young nations defend their newly-won independence, armed with an ideal: internationalism. African revolutionaries like Patrice Lumumba, Amilcar Cabral and Agostinho Neto call on Cuban guerrillas to help them in their struggle, and Fidel Castro's men will play a central role on the continent, from Che Guevara's tragicomic epic in the Congo up to the triumph of the battle of Cuito Cuanavale in Angola. This film relates a largely untold story, going from 1961 to 1989, with archives and interviews to back it up.
