Challenging our understanding of radicalisation and its reasons, The Empty Room is a personified portrayal of a global problem: a Belgian family is faced with the aftermath of the death of their 19-year-old son who had left to wage Jihad in Syria. Banding together with other parents in her situation, the mother fights against the silent disappearance of her son through the cracks of the judiciary system, demanding that his death be officially recognised.

1949. George Orwell finishes what will be his final but most important novel, 1984. Orwell: 2+2=5 delves deep into his final months and visionary works to explore the roots of the vital and troubling concepts he revealed to the world in his dystopian masterpiece. Doublethink, Thoughtcrime, Newspeak, the omnipresent spectre of Big Brother. Disturbing sociopolitical truths which resonate ever-more powerfully today.

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.

A film that captures the poetic reality of a neurotic poet, skilfully blending cringe comedy with an emotionally resonant story of lost and rediscovered hope. A singular work with an unforgettable central character.
