All screenings start at the scheduled times. Please arrive at least 20 minutes before the start.
Film Line-up
North
As the New Year approaches and Grandpa's health condition worsens, Pingping returns to their small village in Heilongjiang with Baolai, hoping to bring the old man back to Hainan. The father and daughter, caught in the conflict of old and new beliefs, never manage to reach an agreement. In the process of preparing to sell the father's only house, Pingping quietly abandons the idea, while Grandpa gradually comes to understand his child's perspective.
Family Album / Temas Propios
Uruguay's selection for the Oscars in 2024, Family Album is a heartfelt comedy that navigates the complexities of family dynamics and the pursuit of dreams. At its core are Manuel, an 18-year-old grappling with a vocational crisis, and César, his 45-year-old father, who refuses to grow up after his separation. When César and Manuel decide to form a band, they face generational clashes that threaten their musical aspirations. Alongside Virginia, an overwhelmed mother, and Agustín, a rebellious teenager, the film explores the chaotic journey of adulthood, parent-child relationships, and the world of rock music.
