Edinburgh International Film Festival announces ED FILM FEST AT HOME
Edinburgh International Film Festival and Curzon Home Cinema are delighted to present an online festival of the best new cinema for you to enjoy from your couch.
Visions du Réel 2020 - Jungle
Jungle undeniably cements Louise Mootz as one to watch for the future
Visions du Réel 2020 - Love Poem (情诗/ Qingshi)
Love Poem is an emotionally dense and expertly crafted intimate drama that follows a thin line between fact and fiction with tremendous results
IFFR 2020 - Ar condicionado (Air Conditioner)
Air Conditioner has a lot of heart and determination behind it that is visible from the onset of its production
Visions du Réel 2020 - Their Algeria
Their Algeria is itself trapped between a rock and a hard place in that it tries to succeed both as a character study about two old people up-ending their lives and an illuminating journey into the tumultuous past of her family
CPH:DOX 2020 - Being Eriko
Being Eriko is able to provide much more depth into the presentation of its subject and themes than its small runtime might initially suggest
Visions du Réel 2020 - We Are Russia
A competent and tactile piece of political activism intended to give the audience a taste of what it is really like to live in a country chipping away at fundamental freedoms and rights of her citizens with reckless abandon
CHATTANOOGA 2020 FILM FESTIVAL - The Wanting Mare
The Wanting Mare is an ambitious original era-spanning tale about a mother and daughter who share a deeper connection between themselves and their lineage
SXSW 2020 - Killer Instinct (Tone Deaf)
Killer Instinct is certainly an enjoyable genre piece, even if what starts out as something more interesting eventually turns into a fairly generic OTT slasher
SXSW 2020 - Porno
Porno excels as a piece of genre cinema in its originality and subversion of familiar tropes
BERLINALE 2020 - Victoria
On paper, the combination of ideas in Victoria should be a win for both the filmmaker and the audience, but in execution, these elements refute each other's effects
Visions du Réel 2020 - El Father Plays Himself
Mo Scarpelli’s El Father Plays Himself is an unfiltered and profound look into a father-son relationship that gets flipped on its head
Visions du Réel 2020 - Amor Fati
With over ten different stories in the mix, scenes and sequences gently shuffle into one another, each of them self-contained while remaining mysterious and incomplete
Visions du Réel 2020 - Kombinat
Equally a scathing commentary on the wide-ranging destruction caused by rampant industrial development, as well as an honest snapshot of the human existence with its beauty, mundanity and drama
BERLINALE 2020- The Wolves
Samuel Kishi Leopo's Los Lobos (The Wolves) is a thematically rich and heartbreaking insight into the trials and tribulations of immigration in America
TRIBECA 2020 - Asia
Ruthy Pribar's Asia is a stunning emotionally charged documentation of the hope and tragedy found in love and family, beautifully orchestrated in two seismic performances from Alena Yiv and Shira Haas
CPH:DOX 2020 - Själö (Island of Souls)
The haunting tales of the wronged, silenced women, in Själo - Island of Souls, can leave more of an impression after its trance of melancholy and silent rage is over, and must not be forgotten
IFFR 2020 - Labyrinth of Cinema
Labyrinth of Cinema is an original and spectacular imaginative exhibition from start to finish
TRIBECA 2020 - My Wonderful Wanda
An unnerving study commenting on class relations and the immigrant experience which also successfully challenges a whole host of national stereotypes
SUNDANCE 2020 - Never Rarely Sometimes Always
Never Rarely Sometimes Always is a quietly brutal film that is not determined to dramatize the act of abortion but instead tells a straightforward human story with a narrative constructed of human obstacles
