Alexandre Koberidze’s “What Do We See When We Look at the Sky?”
Poetic, naturalistic romance with magical realist elements is a love letter to the Georgian town of Kutaisi as much as it’s a philosophical fairytale
Sebastian Meise’s “Great Freedom”
A unique and poignant prison drama which brings to light the struggles of post-WW2 gay rights as well as the importance of bridging divides
Lukas Feigelfeld’s “Hagazussa: A Heathen's Curse”
Earthy and sensual horror debut of quiet potency and staggering beauty
Edward Berger’s “All Quiet on the Western Front”
An intense, visceral and beautiful film with an incredibly effective minimalist score and breathtaking cinematography that says as much about inequality as it does war
