Philippe Mars is a reasonable man in an unreasonable world.He’s trying to be a good father, a kind ex-husband, a nice colleague, an understanding sibling... But the planets have not been exactly aligned in his favor lately. With his son turning into a hardcore vegan, his daughter into a pathological overachiever and his sister selling oversized paintings of their naked parents, it seems to our ever-so prudent Philippe that everyone around him is starting to behave more and more erratically...When his more than over the top colleague Jerôme accidentally chops off his ear and then moves into Philippe’s apartment, things start to go from bad to insane for our hero.

Claire is a wonderfully gifted midwife, with a natural talent to deliver babies with the most gentle touch. But over the years, her delicate ways, her sense of pride and responsibility are clashing with the more efficiency-driven methods of modern hospitals. Closer to the end of her career than to its beginning, she’s starting to question her place and her skills.One day she receives a strange phone call, a voice from the past. Béatrice, the extravagant and frivolous ex-wife of her deceased father, has important and pressing news and wants to see her again, 30 years after having disappeared without a trace.Opposed in every way, the over-conscientious Claire – bordering inhibition – and the free-spirit, life-loving Béatrice, will learn to accept one another and by revealing old secrets will start to make up for the lost years.

Summer 1910.Several tourists have vanished while relaxing on the beautiful beaches of the Channel Coast. Infamous inspectors Machin and Malfoy soon gather that the epicenter of these mysterious disap-pearances must be Slack Bay, a unique site where the Slack river and the sea join only at high tide.

There lives a small community of fishermen and other oyster farmers. Among them evolves a curious family, the Bréfort, renowned ferrymen of the Slack Bay, lead by the father nick-named

“The Eternal”, who rules as best as he can on his prankster bunch of sons, especially the impetu-ous Ma Loute, aged 18.

Towering high above the bay stands the van Peteghems’ mansion. Every summer, this bourgeois family – all degenerate and decadent from inbreeding – stagnates in the villa, not without mingling during their leisure hours of walking, sailing or bathing, with the ordinary local people, Ma Loute and the other Bréforts.

Over the course of five days, as starts a peculiar love story between Ma Loute and the young and mischievous Billie van Peteghem, confusion and mystification will descend on both families, shaking their convictions, foundations and way of life.

with Jana raluy, Sebastián Aguirre (Güeros), emilio echevarría (Amores Perros, y tu mamá también)

In a desperate attempt to save her husband’s life by accessing the medical treatment that he needs to survive, Sonia embarks on a chase against her corrupt and negligent insurance company and its complicit representatives – leading her son and herself into a vertiginous spiral of violence.A wounded animal doesn’t cry, it bites.

“Rodrigo Plá is back with the most commercially viable film, a tense, sometimes bleakly comic drama of exasperation that once again dips into genre conventions to

explore the ‘us against them’ social fault lines of contemporary Mexico...” Screen

“A lean, mean thriller. At a nervily compact 74 minutes, ‘A Monster with a Thousand Heads’ often feels as if it’s unfolding in real time. Such is the considerable achievement of Uruguayan – Mexican helmer Rodrigo Plá’s agitated, on-the-move hostage thriller.”

vArietY

“A lean and efficient mix of thriller, drama and socio-political commentary... Shot through with dark irony and containing several genre elements.” tHe HOllYwOOD rePOrter

NEON BULL A FILM By GABRIEL MASCARO

by the director of August winds (Locarno 2014 – Special Mention)

with Juliano cazarré (360, Tropa de Elite), Maeve Jinkings (Neighboring Sounds), carlos Pessoa

Iremar works at the vaquejadas, a rodeo in the north east of Brazil where two men on horseback try to bring down a bull by grabbing its tail. It’s dusty and back-breaking work, but Iremar is a natural ‘vaqueiro’, feeding, prepping and taking care of the bulls.

Home is the truck used to transport the animals from show to show, which he shares with his co-workers; Galega, an exotic dancer, the truck driver and mother to the young & spirited Cacá, and Zé, his rotund compadre in the bullpen. Together they form a makeshift but close-knit family.

But Brazil and the Northeast are changing and the region’s booming clothing industry has stirred new ambitions in Iremar. Swinging in his hammock in the back of the truck, his head is filled with dreams of pattern cutting, sequins and exquisite fabrics as he mentally assembles elaborate new fashion designs…

“ Neon bull is the great discovery of this year’s TIFF… A unique gem” inDiewire

“when I watched it I had the same feeling that I had the first time I saw a David Lynch film.” tiFF ArtiStic DirectOr cAMerOn bAileY

“Mascaro and Mexican d.p. Diego Garcia (who lensed Apichatpong weerasethakul’s ‘Cemetery of Splendor’) demonstrate a masterful eye for composition.” vArietY

“An unexpected delight, at times as carnal, sweaty and instinctive as its main characters but also playfully original and thought-provoking…

A dreamlike mise en scene.” Screen

JAMES WHITE A FILM By JOSH MOND

by the Producers of Afterschool and Martha Marcy May Marlene

with christopher Abbott (Girls, A Most Violent year), Golden Globe Nominee cynthia nixon (Sex & the City), Scott ‘KiD cuDi’ Mescudi (Entourage)

James White is a troubled twentysomething trying to stay afloat in a frenzied New york City. As he retreats further into a hedonistic lifestyle, his mother’s battle with a serious illness faces a series of setbacks that force him to assume more responsibility. With the pressure on him mounting, James must find new reserves of strength or risk imploding completely

“Knockout performances by Cynthia Nixon and ‘Girls’ alumnus Christopher Abbott. ‘James white’ could be considered Mond’s ‘Amour’, albeit seen through the eyes

of a child rather than a spouse.” vArietY

“No film at Sundance this year hit me with more force emotionally than Josh Mond’s ‘James white’. Devastating. Abbott is simply phenomenal here.” rObert ebert.cOM

“This extraordinarily intimate drama marks an arresting feature debut for writer-director Josh Mond. A viscerally acted drama whose rich visual and sonic textures intensify

the plunge into the title character’s messy life.” tHe HOllYwOOD rePOrter

“Standing high above the rest of the films at Sundance this year, Mond’s directorial debut is a must-see. Cynthia Nixon is stunning in the role of James’ mother, generous,

unselfconscious and heartbreaking.” tHe HUFFingtOn POSt

“One of the standouts in this year’s Sundance selection.” tHe gUArDiAn
