Vertigay in modern-day Lithuania. 17-year-old Shangaile loves stunt planes, but her fear of heights keeps her chained to the ground, until a chance encounter with Auste, a girl of the same age, triggers her sexual awakening. Love – especially at great heights – conquers all, big and small. World Cinema Directing award at Sundance.

17-year-old Sangaile is obsessed with the idea of becoming a stunt plane pilot. But her fear of heights keeps her chained to the ground, and the secure perspective of the audience. She meets Auste in one of the aeronau- tical shows she loves so much, a girl who dares to address her desires, near the lakeside villa where Sangaile is spending the summer with her family. The love that develops between them will bring her one step closer to realising her dreams and everything that keeps her away from her heart’s desires. Where other directors would go straight for a dead-end romance and a conflicting path that would lead to maturity through frustration, Al- anté Kavaïté proposes companionship as a chance for emotional development. Visually stimulating and captive of the incongruous beauty of the Lithuanian countryside, where nature is liberally littered with factories, sexual awakening is the only solution, avoiding the pitfalls of never-ending innocence.

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
