Kôji Shiraishi / Japan / 2022 / 94 min / Japanese
This cross between a romantic comedy and softcore porno in the form of a mockumentary tackles the distinctly Japanese take on perversion with warm humour and directness. The legendary studio Nikkatsu marked its 50th anniversary by reviving its cult series of soft-erotic “porn novels” with a film that positively vibrates with arousal and joie de vivre.

Love, Theft and Other Entanglements Al-hob wa al-sariqa wa mashakel ukhra
Muayad Alayan / Palestine / 2015 / 93 min
The Dupes Al-makhdu'un
Tewfik Saleh / Syria / 1972 / 107 min / Arabic
A painfully relevant film telling the story of three Palestinians belonging to three different generations, who, due to specific personal circumstances and the impossibly harsh living conditions in their home country, want to flee to Kuwait for a better life (the basic level of human dignity). The realism, seasoned with unique poetic cinematic verses and stanzas, is very extreme in directly presenting the physical, emotional and spiritual experience of the protagonists, at the same time depicting the allegory of the complex hardship of Palestinian existence.
