An unflinching look at the #FeesMustFall student movement that burst onto the South African political landscape in 2015 as a protest over the cost of education. The story is told by four student leaders at Wits University and their Vice Chancellor, Adam Habib, a left-wing, former anti-apartheid student activist. When Habib’s efforts to contain the protest fail, he brings 1000 police on to campus. There are dire consequences for the young leaders. By blending dramatic unfolding action with a multi-protagonist narrative, much of the drama lies in the internal struggles the activists have around the weight of leadership. Threaded through the film is a pulse of anticipation, shared across the generational divide, that somehow these youth have reached breaking point and won’t back down until they achieve the kind of social transformation that previous generations had long given up on.

Eva Linder's film "Everything on earth will perish - Arendt, Noah and the animals build a boat" is loosely based on Hannah Arendt's thoughts on human rights and the biblical story of Noah's ark. It is the great ark that, according to Genesis in the Bible, was built by Noah according to God's instructions. Noah was given the task of saving himself, his family and all the animals of the earth from a worldwide flood, the so-called deluge. The story appears in the Abrahamic religions; Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Linder's work here asks the existential questions that follow the story of Noah; who should be saved and who should be left behind? Who will make the selection? In the film, the character Hannah Arendt has begun to suspect that the boat Noa is building will not be able to accommodate everyone. Arendt, the Wolf and the Sheep gather and confront Noah, who refers to God's instructions. The worry is spreading.

How does one keep on?

A bilingual documentary essay about the construction and illusions of American identity from an intimate, biographical and anecdotal perspective." I was born in New York City, a Jew from Queens, raised in the 1970s and 80s, the child of another New York Jew born in 1919, the child of immigrants from the Ukraine. When I became a father myself, I was gripped by the need to share this inheritance of identity with my daughters. But my daughters were born in Buenos Aires where I have been living since 2002.” Richard Shpuntoff

A group of filmmakers arrives in Santiago de Chuco, a town in the Peruvian highlands where the poet César Vallejo was born. With the excuse of a casting, the filmmakers appropriate the theater and the inhabitants of the place arrive, revealing little by little some lives embraced by the aura of the poet, who died in Paris seventy years ago. All of them, inhabitants and filmmakers, are confused between verses, stories and poetry. Fantasy emerges and characters like the blind Santiago-who rings the bells always warning something-; or the young musician Elder - whose desires loom like a cornucopia-trace a liminal path between fiction and reality.
