ABOUT THE FILMS:

AS I OPEN MY EYES | À PEINE J’OUVRE LES YEUX
dir. Leyla Bouzid, France/Tunesia 2015, 102’

Leyla Bouzid's impressive debut film is set in the summer of 2010, on the eve of Tunisia's Jasmine Revolution. Farah is a rebellious eighteen-year-old. Her over-protective mother wants her to study medicine, but fearless Farah prefers to sing with an underground band. When Farah disappears one day, it looks like she has run away again. But is that really the case? Winner of the BNL Audience Award and Best European Film at the Venice Film Festival.


THE MODEL | THE MODEL
dir. Mads Matthiesen, Denmark 2016, 105’

When up-and-coming model Emma gets an opportunity to make her dream reality and become an international top model, she swaps home and life in Denmark for fashion capital Paris. Here, she meets attractive photographer Shane White at a photo shoot, and falls in love. But their relationship quickly becomes a dangerous obsession for Emma.


PREJUDICE | PRÉJUDICE
dir. Antoine Cuypers, Belgium 2015, 105’ (international premiere)

Challenging psychological drama in which the carefully nurtured harmony within a family is shattered one lovely summer evening. Cédric, who is generally shut away in a world of his own, responds recalcitrantly to the happy news of his sister’s pregnancy. Strong debut with great ensemble acting led by Nathalie Baye as the dominant mother.


LA NOVIA | LA NOVIA
dir. Paula Ortiz, Spain 2015, 93’

Based on the famous play Bodas de sangre/Blood Wedding by Federico García Lorca, La novia tells the story of a passionate love triangle. A bride leaves her groom, unable any longer to withstand the surging desires of her lover, Leonardo.


THE GARBAGE HELICOPTER | SOPHELIKOPTERN
dir. Jonas Selberg Augustsén, Sweden/Qatar 2015, 100’

A comic road movie set against the background of contemporary Sweden. A strong debut, shot in black-and-white, in the style of the early films by Jim Jarmusch and Aki Kaurismäki.
