Trailer
Why watch this film?
Filmed in Mexico (though spoken in English) and restored for its 30th anniversary, 'Santa Sangre' is now considered a cult classic of horror, directed by Chilean Alejandro Jodorowsky ('El Topo'), and co-written by him alongside Claudio Argento (producer of Dario Argento's 'Suspiria') and Roberto Leoni ('A Man to Respect'). Laden with deep symbolism that has inspired a myriad of psychological and philosophical analyses over the years, this is the kind of movie that will generate an avid fan base or provoke a resounding rejection due to its aesthetics, an unusual mixture between psychedelia, surrealism, and the strange, something like 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' via Tod Browning's 'Freaks' with a B-movie look. With performances from Axel Jodorowsky and Mexican Blanca Guerra ('Danzón', by María Novaro), it is a hypnotic experience that, regardless of your reaction, you won't easily forget. Additionally, this restored version includes extras on iTunes and Spamflix.

Drama
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
