A moving tribute to cinema and the magical power of storytelling, the new film from multi award-winning director Lone Scherfig (An Education, One Day, Italian for Beginners) follows a young woman’s coming-of-age in a remote Chilean mining town.

1966. The nitrate salt flats of Chile’s Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, couldn’t feel further from the glamour of Hollywood, and life for the saltpetre miners is both hard and precarious. Every day is the same for Medardo (Antonio de La Torre, Marshland), his wife María Magnolia (Academy Award-nominee Bérénice Bejo, The Artist) and their four young children, except Sundays when they eagerly visit the cinema to disappear into other worlds together.

Inspired by extraordinary true events, Patricia Font’s superb new drama follows a charismatic teacher whose progressive outlook transforms the lives of a group of young students on the eve of the Spanish Civil War, but places him in the crossfire of local authorities.

Conscious Light is a heart-awakening glimpse into the extraordinary lifetime and teachings of Avatar Adi Da – a radical spiritual realizer who left a legacy of unprecedented wisdom for all of humanity to be able to realize the real truth of their condition.

Q&A with Director Wendy Champagne

In May 1973, 10,000 artists, activists, hippies, radical students, gurus and visionaries descended on a small dairy town for 10 days of social and cultural exploration that changed a generation. Those 10 days birthed an irrepressible movement that may have been the much needed blueprint for sustainable change. When thousands of young people travelled the back roads of Northern New South Wales 50 years ago to camp and explore a new way of living at Nimbin Aquarius Festival something unexpected happened amongst all the bliss, drugs and dram.

Seventy-year-old Mahin has been living alone in Tehran since her husband died and her daughter left for Europe. One afternoon, tea with friends leads her to break her solitary routine and revitalise her love life.
 
As Mahin opens herself up to a new romance, what begins as a surprise encounter evolves into an unpredictable, unforgettable evening. A huge hit with critics and audiences alike at the 2024 Berlinale, My Favourite Cake is an endearing portrayal of a woman who gives herself a second chance at life and love – and is faced with unexpected consequences. Co-directors Sanaeeha and Moghadan deftly deliver social criticism with a story that is equally charming and touching.

The story of Sylvia, a woman who can't forget and Saul, a man who can't remember.

A Film written and directed by

 MICHEL FRANCO

Sylvia, a single mother, confronts her traumatic past after a chance encounter with Saul, a former schoolmate who stalks her after their highschool reunion.  As their relationship evolves, both are forced to face buried memories and personal hardships.

Alex Thompson and Kelly O'Sullivan's moving, gently comic collaboration is about the power of live theater to make sense of our offstage dramas and personal narratives. Ghostlight centers on Dan (Keith Kupferer), a melancholic middle-aged construction worker grieving a family tragedy. Cut off from his devoted wife, Sharon (Tara Mallen), and talented but troubled daughter, Daisy (Katherine Mallen Kupferer), Dan finds comfort and community in a misfit company of amateur actors. While moonlighting in a low-rent production of Shakespeare's most protean tragedy, Dan is forced to confront his buried emotions. Real-life family Mallen, Kupferer, and Mallen Kupferer bring tenderness and authenticity to this poignant portrait, while Dolly de Leon — last seen stealing the scene in Triangle of Sadness — is hilarious as Dan's irascible, improbable co-star.

An ancient Shinto shrine in a traditional Japanese village, home to dozens of street cats, is the timeless setting for this meditative observational documentary selected for Berlinale 2024.

Kazuhiro Soda’s latest film is set in the region where he also filmed Oyster Factory (SFF 2016) and Inland Sea (SFF 2018). It’s a mesmerizingly beautiful location for this tale of feline-human interaction. Tabbies, gingers, calicos, and other breeds lounge around the ‘Cat Shrine’ receiving food from visitors. The community is largely tolerant, but the volume of cats and people is beginning to intrude on the serenity of this spiritual environment and a new approach is needed. Soda lived on the island for years, and his intimate familiarity with the locality enables him to capture every detail of this world with humour and tenderness.

Vincent Macaigne and a radiant Cécile de France enrapture in BONNARD, PIERRE & MARTHE, the beautiful and transporting new historical drama from multi award-winning director Martin Provost (Séraphine, The Midwife) about the turbulent love story between the renowned post-Impressionist painter Pierre Bonnard and his lesser-known - but no-less talented - wife, Marthe.

1893. When aspiring French artist Pierre Bonnard (Macaigne) - a protégé of Claude Monet - meets Marthe de Méligny (de France), he has no idea that this self-proclaimed aristocrat will become the cornerstone of his life and work. From this moment, though she appears in over a third of his work, she's more than just a muse; together over five decades, the couple will explore creative fulfillment, love and jealousies that challenge the standards of the time, as the film interrogates the great mystery around their relationship.
