SUMMARY:The Blue Trail
DESCRIPTION:Dir. Gabriel Mascaro\nBrazil\n2025 \n”A magical escape from exile to freedom” Hollywood Reporter \nTereza\, 77\, has lived her whole life in a small industrialised town in the Amazon\, until one day she receives an official government order to relocate to a senior housing colony. The colony is an isolated area where the elderly are brought to “enjoy” their final years\, freeing the younger generation to focus fully on productivity and growth. Tereza refuses to accept this imposed fate. Instead\, she embarks on a transformative journey through the rivers and tributaries of the Amazon to fulfil one last wish before her freedom is taken away – a decision that will change her destiny forever. \nWorld Premiere\, Berlin Film Festival 2025 \n

SUMMARY:PARA VIVIR: The Implacable Times of Pablo Milanés
DESCRIPTION:Dir\, Fabien Pisani\nCuba\, Mexico\n2025 \nA deeply personal portrait of Cuban music icon Pablo Milanés\, captured in self-imposed exile during his final years. \nMilanés\, co-founder of the Nueva Trova movement with Silvio Rodríguez\, was a major voice in Cuba’s revolutionary cultural movement. This film\, directed by his adopted son Fabien Pisani\, combines interviews with musical luminaries such as Serrat\, Chico Buarque\, Harry Belafonte and Fito Páez\, alongside intimate moments of Milanés in his final years\, looking frail and reflecting on the fading Cuban Utopia. It’s a striking cinematic portrait of the artist. As memories of the past surface\, so does the broad disillusionment of the singer and his peers\, a generation of artists who were once devoted to the Revolution but who now question its legacy. \n
