A portrait of the disenchanted youth of the city of Tolyatti, once a symbol of Soviet progress and the automobile, now devastated by economic decline.

Aragon, Spain. After living through her parents' divorce, Mar arrives in the summer in a mysterious town where she is fascinated by the horrifying stories about the Civil War and its terrible consequences told by members of a group of teenagers who seem to live according to rules that are strange to her.

At the height of the summer tourist season, the Spanish beach town Magaluf turns into a hellscape of the low-cost travel industry. For eight weeks every year, over one million mostly British vacationers ride an alcohol-soaked tide of public urination, fisticuffs and ambulance sirens for recreation. Instead of assembling a clip-reel of "balconing," when drunk idiots jump into hotel pools from their balconies, filmmaker Miguel Ángel Blanca crafts a far deeper and atmospheric look at a place where visitors and locals alike are driven by pleasure. Long-time resident Maria has little time left, so she takes in a seasonal lodger who listens to her relive her glory days. An enterprising real estate agent peddles an extravagant development, while a young gay man drifts without any plans beyond robbing a tourist for kicks. Part ghost story, part foreboding parable, this is a stylish and vivid impression of people and a place dreaming of escape. Myrocia Watamaniuk (Hot Docs)

In 2015, Ossamah Al Mohsen and her son were the victims of a trip on the Hungarian border by a television reporter in her desperate flight from a Syria at war. The cameras captured this moment by scandalizing public opinion. This kick allowed Ossamah, famous soccer coach in his country, to arrive in Madrid and resume his profession. But the rest of his family did not have the same luck. The story of Ossamah allows us to reflect on the survival of thousands of Syrian families trapped in Turkey but also that of Moatassam, Youssef and Muhannad, three promising Syrian footballers who were robbed of the best years of their lives by war.

A science fiction tale about inhabiting other life forms and the legitimate right to be dysfunctional.

Júlia arrived some time ago in Glasgow fleeing from Barcelona; she wanted to start from scratch. Years have passed and she seems stuck: in the mornings she tries to pursue her career as a photographer, at night she cleans dishes in a restaurant. One afternoon, while taking portraits of pedestrians crossing a bridge, one of her eyes begins to fail. As illness begins to spread Júlia will begin a search into the past to the depths of Glasgow and its history. The river will carry her towards a memory: the day she met a mysterious group of men who pulled objects from the depths of the water and among them a strange Indian boy, Shubham, who also came to the city from far away in search of a new life.

In the summer of 1961, a group of young Italian anthropologists made a clandestine journey through Spain, in order to record popular songs that supported anti-Franco resistance. As a result of their work, they were prosecuted and their recordings were censored. Sixty years later, and guided by Emilio Jona, aged 92, the last living member of that group of travellers, we recover the unpublished recordings and reconstruct the journey, today, across an emotional and political landscape, regaining historical memories through these songs, as relevant today as they were then.

Exercises to see God is a survival reality show. Accompanied by a television crew, three women with so-called visionary mystical gifts are sent to the mountains as contestants on a survival reality show. In the loneliness of abandoned landscapes, they will have to find a televised prophetic revelation with the goal of finding a new Spirit Age in primetime. The three women will be judged in a televised media trial, where the bishop will question the protagonists about their visions related to the desire, the truth and the price of eternal salvation.

Thoughts, sometimes just numbers, reach us from offscreen almost like music, like a mantra or a prayer. What we see are circular fragments from familiar spaces: a mirror, a magnifying glass. A day like any other day: without medication, or perhaps better with? A film like the investigation of an uncertainty principle: do we really see better with a magnifying glass? A face scratched out of the family album: the gap is draped with flowers and cut-out pictures of clothes and finally filled again by a drawing.
