Whatever will be, will be. Please, no. Outside forces threaten the characters of these films but they will stand, even if victory is bitter or means you will live to die another day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Where Russia Ends<\/i> appropriates found footage from the 1980s to exorcise modern-day Russian imperialism \u2013 that eternal return. Left-Handed Pen<\/i> shows in real time how a mother will do everything for her son\u2019s future \u2013\u00a0 no matter the cost. Lumen Naturae<\/i> is about overcoming grief, trading one death for one life in\u00a0the most unexpected way.<\/p>\n
In Exit Through The Cuckoo\u2019s Nest<\/i>, a soldier refuses to pull the trigger and is thrown into another kind of battlefield. In Let Them Eat Cake<\/i>, you\u2019ll see Jeff Bezos like never before, working in a pastry shop as a monstrous, cannibalistic, Willy-Wonka-like avatar of capitalism that never tires. And let\u2019s have a glimmer of hope with the lady of Hasta la Futura<\/i>, whose sweet melancholy is an antidote to this modern, rubbish and bureaucratic world. This is war. This is cinema as an army of dreamers.<\/p>\n
