Rural Ireland, 1981. A quiet, neglected girl is sent away from her overcrowded, dysfunctional family to live with foster parents for the summer. She blossoms in their care, but in this house where there are meant to be no secrets, she senses there is an unspoken grief…

“Could be the best Irish film ever made.” – Irish Independent. “One of the single most moving, heartfelt, and heartbreaking movies from any country in the last decade. That only sounds like hyperbole until you see it. After that, the sentence reads as a huge understatement.”

Thomsen’s Danish-style Teorema (1968) predating Pasolini’s is as double-edged as its title (gift meaning both “poison” and “married”). The director conceived it as a polemical tract against pornography and the moral decay of Danish society. But by filling it with nudity and hardcore snippets, he ironically paved the way for a censorship-free Denmark, which in 1969 became the first country to legalize pornography. The censors covered the explicit scenes with thick white crosses (making them somehow even more obscene). And it is precisely on such a historical 35mm print that we will have the pleasure to see the film!

The first lady of French porno chic, Brigitte Lahaie, returns in the original instalment of the cheeky fan favourite Six Swedish Girls at a Boarding School—taking place before the young Swedes found employment at a gas station and well-deserved holidays in Ibiza and the Alps. Directed by the “Swiss Roger Corman”, Erwin C. Dietrich, the evergreen hit from our Socialist past and the once notorious erotic Kino Sloga is bursting at the seams with zany humour, mechanical invention, and healthy minds in oh, such healthy bodies.
