A POET (2025)*
Directed by Simón Mesa Soto
Spanish, 123 min.

Poetry

 

In the backstreets of Medellín, a once-celebrated poet stumbles through failure with persistence. When he takes a gifted young woman under his wing, Simón Mesa Soto's deadpan tragicomedy becomes an irresistible — and quietly devastating — portrait of art, ego, and the hunger to create.

ARCO (2025)
Directed by Ugo Bienvenu and Gilles Cazaux
French, 88 min.

The Age of AI

 

In 2075, robots raise children while wildfires rage outside protective domes. When a boy from a greener, distant future crash-lands into lonely Iris's world, their friendship becomes a hand-drawn fable — warm as Miyazaki, quietly urgent as the world it imagines.

ALL THAT'S LEFT OF YOU (2025)*
Directed by Cherien Dabis
Arabic, English, Hebrew, 146 min.

Roots and Routes

 

When a Palestinian teenager is wounded during a West Bank protest, his mother begins to trace the decades of displacement, loss, and endurance that brought their family to this moment — from the Nakba of 1948 to the present. An intimate multigenerational saga.
