Best Of The Fests
Five films that have garnered attention at the world's biggest festivals: Been There by Corina Schwingruber Ilić takes a gently ironic look at the phenomenon of mass tourism. The Passing by Patrick Bresnan and Ivete Lucas follows a veterinarian and a dog owner through challenging times. A Bird Called Memory is a poetically staged artwork by Leonardo Martinelli revolving around the trans woman Lua and her escaped bird, while in Khozy Rizal's Basri & Salma in a Never-Ending Comedy, nobody holds back. Daria Kashcheeva's impressive work Electra concludes the list, immersing the protagonist in painful childhood memories. (dhe)
