again the trailer was a bit too bare-bones to know if this Radu Jude film would be good. I saw his Aferim! at VIFF a few years ago and it was completely unlike any film I've seen, strange but excellent. #Romanian

Radu Jude takes two days in the life of a stressed Romanian p.a. and gives us an urgent, pissed off, sourly funny polemic on the state of late capitalism. Exploitation, discrimination and hypocrisy are his targets; dialectics are his dynamite.

I was wavering just based on the description but the trailer really won me over. Looks excellent. A drama about coming of age, pride in heritage and #Sami activism

This one also has a very minimalist trailer so it's hard to know but -- I've had very good luck with #Egyptian films at VIFF in the past, have high hopes.

VIFF 2023: Green Border | Vancouver International Film Festival
In her seventies Agnieszka Holland has made a ferocious, emotionally charged film about the brutal treatment of refugees arriving over the Polish land border from Belarus. This is a vehement denunciation of resurgent fascism and utterly compelling cinema.
