Five stories about our favourite characters: outsiders and lesser gods. The former definitely includes two storytelling sisters and a nervous woman entering the world of dating. But outcasts can also fight back, in the yard as well as the bowling alley. More often than not, though, they’re tragic – think of a silent giant, or a lost son. And beware when underdogs seize their moment: even their families won’t be safe then.
One totally f***ed up night in a bowling alley. Ultra-violent tale of revenge oozes with style and has a killer soundtrack.
1857, Coutances. Two farm girls find a smartphone in their field. A great exercise in solid storytelling on a very limited budget.
On the night of the 1981 coup d'état in Spain, a family receives an unexpected visit from ‘The Showman’, a guy who’s has had an accident and needs help. Funny Games with a pinch of Spanish politics and societal issues.
Beaupré the Giant died too young and far from home in 1904. In a stunning series of twists and turns, his mummified body will take more than eighty years to find its way home. Stunning mix of stop motion and 3D animation.
An old fisherman seeking forgiveness from his father dedicates his life to hunting a monster hiding in the Po River. Dreamlike, enigmatic and mesmerizing fable.
Ellie, new to dating and painfully shy, struggles to control her nerves during a date with Danni, resulting in some unexpecting and shocking results. If you thought you knew about butterflies in the stomach, think again!
In the aftermath of sexual assault, a woman retreats into the garden of her mind. Searching for answers and struggling to do the right thing, she realises she must find new paths to healing. Amazing animation feels like an even more psychedelic Alice in Wonderland.
Lidia wants to tell her sister Marta a story, but there’s a problem: it's too scary. Clever and creepy horror builds suspense well and holds the tension right up to its great finale.
