Bèstia is a portrait of three hunters from inland Catalonia: Palomero, Bernat, and Nen. Their lives reveal the tension between traditional rural masculinity and the modern urban mindset. Without judgment or dramatization, a young vegan filmmaker observes their contradictions and seeks the primitive essence of humanity in the present day.

Madaí, Chanel, Rosmer, and Victoria are four queer individuals who fled their countries of origin in search of a better future in the United States.

The discovery of four bodies buried on the director’s family estate in Salamanca opens a fissure between private memory and the silenced history of the Spanish Civil War. This discovery prompts a journey to reconstruct the lives of family members and neighbors affected by repression, reflecting on the origins of armed conflicts, intolerance, and their consequences.
Antu is a 9-year-old girl who was born blind. Thanks to an unusual sensitivity and curiosity, she discovers the world around her in great detail. On board an old truck, she travels across Argentina with her parents, screening films in small, forgotten villages and imagining the stories she will never be able to see.
On the border between Morocco and Spain, they wait impatiently for the boza, the crossing to Europe. Amid successive failed attempts, they survive, and the director, as the “artist,” must keep the flame of the group’s hope alive. With a camera and a handful of songs, they made this film together.
The screening on Friday the 15th will be followed by the “Conversación con David Bingong. Cine, mirada y clase” activity.
In a corner of a border town in the Lleida plains, there once stood a pub called Plató 3. Years after its closure, a group of young people decides to meet in an old fruit cooperative to rehearse a play about the best nights of their lives. What they do not know is that, in those nights, there were old shadows they must reunite with.
