ARIEL
Lois Patiño, Spain 2025
An actress arrives in the Azores to perform The Tempest. But there is no theater, no company, no audience. Only an island that seems to be dreaming itself. In this landscape suspended between reality and fantasy, the inhabitants reveal themselves as characters, and fiction becomes the only possible way of inhabiting the world.
"Patiño attempts, with audacity and charm, to combine Shakespeare's linguistic play with his own talent for enchantment and disorientation."

ILOVERUSS
Tova Mozard, Sweden 2025
For over twenty years, artist Tova Mozard has filmed her friendship with Russell, a struggling supporting actor lost on the fringes of Hollywood. What begins as a documentary portrait evolves into a dialogue about time, loneliness, and the need to feel seen. An act of love for those who live between reality and the stage.
"A film that sneaks up on you, not with spectacle or plot fireworks, but with an intimate and silent depth that gradually draws you into its orbit."

MAGIC FARM
Amalia Ulman, Argentina/USA 2025
A group of creatives arrives in a remote Argentinian town with the idea of filming a viral project. But things spiral out of control, and the experiment becomes a delirious vortex of egos, misinformation, and unexpected tenderness. Magic Farm combines absurdist humor and a critical eye to explore contemporary fragility.
“A wild, weird, and horny vibe radiates from this film. I loved all the POV shots of the Argentinian stray dogs, the colorful cinematography, that delightful rambling, and how incredibly funny it is. I can’t wait to see more from Amalia Ulman.”

UN POETA
Simón Mesa Soto, Colombia 2025
Óscar Restrepo, the poet of the title, has not been able to live up to his promising beginnings in literature and survives as best he can while caring for his mother. Óscar finds a kindred spirit in his student Yurlady, a teenager he sees as a diamond in the rough of poetry.
"Can a good poet be a good person? It's a fascinating question that is woven throughout Soto's intelligent film."
Brian Tallerico, rogerebert.com
"Wonderful. You'll laugh, you'll cry, I promise. The cuts are perfectly timed, and the inside jokes it creates with the viewer—like in Oscar, you can see your dad, your teacher, your friend, yourself."
