On an isolated farm, Jeremiah lives a carefree life with his young daughter, who never outgrew childhood games. The arrival of a farmhand will trigger a chain reaction of unexpected events that will push things over the edge.

Sexual innuendo, untold secrets, lingering looks and pent-up emotions boil over in the middle of nowhere, a trademark backdrop for American indie horror films.

Within a few months of her feature debut, filmmaker Josephine Decker is back with her sophomore film, an ethereal creation enigmatically combining unbridled passion with the most deviant aspects of human nature.

Captured in a suffocatingly shallow depth of field - brilliantly defined by DP Ashley Connor - Josephine Decker's universe will undoubtedly cause viewers to wonder whether she's celebrating life even in the depths of perversion or whether this film is actually an ode to our most primal urges. N.S.

10,000 km

A masterful single shot, staged in a Barcelona apartment, welcomes viewers to the most important feature debut to come out of the Iberian Peninsula in the past year: "10,000KM" by Spanish filmmaker Carlos Marques-Marcet.

Natural Sciences

In an isolated school in rural Argentina, surrounded by breathtaking mountains, 12-year-old Lila has a hard time adapting, as her mind is fixed on a single thought: her desire to find the father she never knew.

The Way He Looks

Daniel Ribeiro's feature debut is the most moving and sensitive LGBT film of the year, as it deals with unspoken desires as part of human nature rather than curiosity.

When Animals Dream

Everyone in their coastal town steers clear of Marie. But their fearful attitude and her wheelchair-bound mother, suffering from a mysterious illness, are the least of her problems. Marie's body has started changing, long hair growing on her chest and back, forcing her to search for answers concerning her family's hidden past and the reasons behind this sudden transformation.

The Canal

David is a film archivist and has just moved with his wife Alice into a new house, near an old canal. Everything seems to be going well on the surface, but the young husband is beginning to suspect his wife is cheating on him, while some old archival footage reveals that his home was the scene of a gruesome crime in the beginning of the 20th Century.

The Mend

When you've seen every possible storyline turned into a movie in every possible way (and sometimes, more than once), then every time you come across something fresh, unpretentious or authentic on the silver screen, you can't help but feel the excitement of an explorer who has finally discerned a strip of land after a long journey at sea.
