Vilnius, 2022. Media exec Marija (Žygimantė Elena Jakštaitė) informs her screenwriter husband Vytas (Marius Repšys) she’s no longer in love with him, she wants out. And the very next day, Russia invades Lithuania’s neighbour, Ukraine. Reeling from these twin shocks, Vytas moves back in with his parents while Marija takes in a family of Ukranian refugees in his stead.
Andrius Blazevicius’ masterful feature (a Sundance prizewinner for Best Director) begins as a domestic drama and evolves into an engrossing satire about virtue signalling, nationalism, good intentions, and our comfort zones in critical times.
Beautifully directed… A drily witty, subtly searing comedy.
Guy Lodge, Variety
Stinging satire… Prepare to relate in a way that will almost assuredly be too close for comfort.

Late Fame
Based on a novella by Arthur Schnitzler (Eyes Wide Shut) this is a sly, poignant comedy about vanity and art from director Kent Jones, starring Willem Dafoe as a mailman belatedly acclaimed for a book of poetry he wrote in his youth.
Memory of Princess Mumbi
In 2093, a filmmaker arrives in the African village of Umata, where he meets Princess Mumbi, a woman torn between love, legacy, and the future of storytelling. It's a fabulous genre-blending fable about memory, invention and cinematic resistance.
