Why watch this film?
Belgian film highly praised by critics and featured in major film festivals in the country, 'Niet Schieten' reflects the feeling of a continent when talking about the effects of terrorism on a family's life. In this case, a boy who sees his parents and sister killed in an attack. Reminiscent of the French emotional drama 'Amanda', 'Niet Schieten' focuses on the personal dilemmas of this boy who tries to overcome the ghosts of terrorism, while his grandfather - with few paternal skills - tries to give light to the boy's darkened world. Special mention to the direction of Stijn Coninx (from the delightful and musical 'Marina'), who shows his most dramatic and challenging face in this new film.

Lie With Me
Lie With Me (Arrête avec tes mensonges) - An emotional French drama directed by Olivier Peyo, has been awarded the award for Best Narrative Feature Film at FilmOut San Diego. The film follows a writer who returns to his hometown of Cognac after 35 years to represent a cognac brand and reunites with the son of his first love, a role played by Victor Belmondo, triggering an avalanche of passionate memories of his youth.
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.
