A local community stands helplessly by as the local youth are driven to suicide. The incredible yet true tragedy that still shrouds the Welsh town of Bridgend in a veil of mystery is reconstructed in a savagely poetic thriller about dead-end adolescence.

The Welsh community of Bridgend is standing helplessly by as, one by one, the local youth are driven to suicide. That's when police inspector Dave arrives on the scene looking for answers for this inexplicably escalating tragedy. But he's not alone. His daughter Sarah is with him, quickly ingratiating herself with the local teenagers, who seem to have developed a strange ritual in order pay their respects to their deceased friends' memory... In his directorial debut, Jeppe Ronde reconstructs the veil of mystery that still shrouds the Welsh town of Brid- gend that made headlines for counting 79 suicide victims among local youths since 2007. The rookie filmmaker handles the absolute existential and social deadlock that can drive people to suicide with surprising mastery, weaving an almost metaphysical horror story.

Dégradé

13 completely different women are trapped in a beauty salon when violence erupts in the streets of Gaza. A seemingly typical situation comedy cleverly turns into a rather unusual and very timely sociopolitical allegory. Screened in Cannes as part of the Critics' Week competition.

The Fire / El Incendio

Lucía and Marcelo are young and in love. They have $100.000 in cash to pay for their dream home, but the real estate agent postpones the contract signing. How much will this delay affect their relationship? A high voltage drama unfolds in 24hrs.

The Wolfpack

The must-see documentary of the season! Locked away in their apartment for years, seven siblings find refuge in recreating classic movie scenes, putting together costumes and sets and acting out every single part. The earth-shattering revelation of their everyday drama is beyond your wildest imagination.

Sleeping Giant

Two reckless teenagers befriend a 15-year-old boy and challenge their own limits by doing everything they're not supposed to do, like smoke pot and look death in the eye. A provocative, skin-crawling observation of the teenage psyche that took this year's Critics Week by storm.

Above and Below

A couple lives in an underground tunnel in Las Vegas. A man survives in the California desert, using empty bottles to communicate with God. A woman plans her trip to Mars. These are the inhabitants of our own post-apocalyptic civilization. A hybrid sci fi doc that will blow your mind! Filmmaker and producer in attendance

Love – especially at great heights – conquers all, big and small. World Cinema Directing award at Sundance.
