Miner Junpo’s daughter is seriously ill and needs urgent treatment. Junpo goes to the mine owner’s house to demand money that is owed to him. To no avail.

At the same time, several other unrelated people are involved, either by coincidence or on purpose, in the whole affair. The situation spins out of control.

Alpha, the Right to Kill

Alpha, the Right to Kill

dir. Brillante Mendoza

Philippines, 2018 - 94

As part of the Philippine government's crackdown on illegal drugs, a SWAT-led police unit launches an operation to arrest Abel, a major methamphetamine distributor. A violent battle breaks out in the slums of Manila between the police and Abel's gang. When the shootout is over and before investigators arrive at the crime scene, a police officer and his informant walk off with a backpack full of money and methamphetamine. This will soon set off a dangerous series of events in which both of them risk their reputations, families and lives. A spellbinding Philippine thriller, the film premiered at the San Sebastián film festival.

Diamantino

Diamantino

Diamantino

dir. Gabriel Abrantes, Daniel Schmidt

Portugal / France / Brazil, 2018 - 92

Diamantino, a world-famous Portuguese football star, loses his special touch and ends his career in disgrace. Searching for a new purpose, he sets off on a delirious odyssey where he confronts neo-fascism, the refugee crisis, genetic modification, and the hunt for the source of genius. A grotesque look at contemporary global problems; at a world in which football idols have replaced the gods. A film in which cheap holograms alternate with spectacular scenery, gritty 16 mm footage transforms into cinemascope, and the music of Wagner tussles with pieces by the electronic band Snap! Earning a reputation as the most singular film at Cannes 2018, it took the Critics’ Week Grand Prize there and also the Palm Dog Grand Jury Prize for its “fluffy puppies”.

The Cannibal Club

The Cannibal Club

O Clube dos Canibais

dir. Guto Parente

Brazil, 2018 - 81

Gilda and Otavio are a wealthy couple. They live it up in a sprawling mansion with a pool and a private beach on the Atlantic coast. At first glance, their life is no different from that of other rich Brazilians. However, they have secrets. At regular meetings of a hush-hush local club, they have rampant sex and consume dozens of different dishes made from meat. Human meat. That is the speciality of the elite and secret Cannibal Club whose membership is composed of the cream of society, influential politicians and businesspeople. A gruesome, funny and crazy satire on the cynicism of Brazil’s elite. Locked up in their ivory towers, they think they will go unpunished, but reality will catch up with them.

Number 37

Number 37

Nommer 37

dir. Nosipho Dumisa

South Africa, 2018 - 110

Randal is a low-level criminal, wheelchair-bound and cooped up in his own home. He is heavily indebted to a sociopathic loan shark named Emmie who violently demonstrates what will happen if Randal doesn't settle his debt before the end of the week. Randal knows there’s no way he can pay the money back. When his devoted girlfriend gives him a pair of binoculars as a gift, it presents him with an opportunity to get his hands on the money he so desperately needs. But it’s not that simple, and the risk is great… A gripping directorial debut that pays homage to the Hitchcock classic “Rear Window”.
