GERONTOPHILIA<\/strong>
\nby Bruce LaBruce (Canada, 85\u2019)
\nwith Walter Borden, Pier-Gabriel Lajoie, Marie-H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Thibault
\n18-year-old Lake has a sweet activist girlfriend, but one day discovers he has an unusual attraction for the elderly. Fate conspires to land him a summer job at a nursing home where he develops a tender relationship with Mr. Peabody. Discovering that the patients are being over-medicated to make them easier to manage, Lake decides to wean him off his medication and help him escape, resulting in a humorous and heartfelt road trip that strengthens their bond.<\/p>\n

PHILOMENA<\/strong>
\nby Stephen Frears (Uk, Usa, France, 98′)
\nwith Judi Dench, Steve Coogan, Sophie Kennedy Clark
\nWhen former journalist Martin Sixsmith is dismissed from the Labour Party in disgrace, he is at a loss as to what do. That changes when a young Irish woman approaches him about a story of her mother, Philomena, who had her son taken away when she was a teenage inmate of a Catholic convent. Martin arranges a magazine assignment about her search for him that eventually leads to America. Along the way, Martin and Philomena discover as much about each other as about her son’s fate. Furthermore, both find their basic beliefs challenged.<\/p>\n

VIA CASTELLANA BANDIERA<\/strong>
\nby Emma Dante (Italy, Switzerland, France, 90\u2019)
\nwith Elena Cotta, Emma Dante, Alba Rohrwacher
\nIt\u2019s a Sunday afternoon. The sirocco is blowing pitilessly in Palermo when Rosa and Clara, a lesbian couple, lose their way in the streets of the city and end up in a sort of alley: Via Castellana Bandiera. At the same moment, another car driven by Samira, crammed with members of the Calafiore family, arrives from the opposite direction and enters the same street. Neither Rosa at the wheel of her Multipla, nor Samira, the old and stubborn woman driving a Punto, is willing to give way to the other. A wholly female duel punctuated by the refusal to drink, eat and sleep; more obstinate than the sun of Palermo and more stubborn than the ferocity of the men who surround them. For, as in every duel, it is a question of life or death.<\/p>\n

PICCOLA PATRIA<\/strong>
\nby Alessandro Rossetto (Italy, 110′)
\nwith Vladimir Doda, Mirko Artuso, Diego Ribon, Lucia Mascino
\nTwo young women, a hot and stifling summer, the desire to get away from a small provincial town. Luisa is full of life, uninhibited, unconventional; Renata is dark, angry, in need of love. The lives of the two women tell a story of blackmail, of betrayed love, of violence: Luisa uses Bilal, her Albanian boyfriend, Renata uses Luisa\u2019s body to pull the strings of her vendetta. Both want to leave the small community that raised them, among local festivals and nationalist rallies, exhausted families and new generations of migrants targeted by those still feeling threatened. Luisa, Renata and Bilal will run the risk of losing themselves, of losing a precious part of themselves, of losing the people they love, of losing their life.<\/p>\n

JULIA<\/strong>
\nby J. Jackie Baier (Germany, Lithuania, 89\u2019)
\nwith Julia Krivickas, W. Lerch, R. Orzichovskis, Renate Lu\u0161is
\nA story of faith and disbelief. Of uprootedness and affiliation. What makes a boy from art school decide to leave home and live as a girl on the streets of Berlin selling her body for money? For more than ten years, photographer and filmmaker J. Jackie Baier followed transsexual Julia K. from her birthplace, Klaipeda in Lithuania, to her tough life on the streets as a hooker, outlaw and nonconformist who never signed any social contract.<\/p>\n

KILL YOUR DARLINGS<\/strong>
\nby John Krokidas (Usa, 103\u2019)
\nwith Daniel Radcliffe, Michael C. Hall, Elizabeth Olsen, Jennifer Jason Leigh
\nKerouac. Burroughs. Ginsberg. Who were they, though, before they became virtual icons of the counterculture movement? In 1944, Jack Kerouac was a washed-up college running back who had lasted all of eight days in the U.S. Navy. William S. Burroughs was a medical school dropout, former door-to-door insect exterminator and budding drug addict, hanging on the fringes of the New York bohemian scene after following a pair of friends from his native St. Louis, Lucien Carr and David Kammerer, to Manhattan. Allen Ginsberg was a nervous, straitlaced freshman at Columbia University, easy prey of Carr\u2019s seduction games and his obsession with the charismatic Kammerer. This is the story of three future beats who fell in with each other, and a brutal murder that capped off their youthful partnership.<\/p>\n

TOM \u00c0 LA FERME<\/strong>
\nby Xavier Dolan (Canada, France, 95\u2019)
\nwith Xavier Dolan, Pierre-Yves Cardinal, Lise Roy, Evelyne Brochu
\nTom, a young advertising copywriter, travels to the country for a funeral. There, he\u2019s shocked to find out no one knows who he is, nor who he was to the deceased, whose brother soon sets the rules of a twisted game. In order to protect the family\u2019s name and grieving mother, Tom now has to play the peacekeeper in a household whose obscure past bodes even greater darkness for his \u201ctrip\u201d to the farm. Stockholm syndrome, deception, grief and secretive savageries pervade this brief and brutal pilgrimage through the warped and ugly truth.<\/p>\n

EASTERN BOYS <\/strong>
\nby Robin Campillo (France, 128\u2019)
\nwith Olivier Rabourdin, Kirill Emelyanov, Danil Vorobyev
\nThey come from all over Eastern Europe: Russia, Ukraine, Moldova… The oldest ones appear no more than 25; as for the youngest, there is no way of telling their age. They spend all their time hanging around the Gare du Nord train station in Paris. They might be male prostitutes. Daniel, a discreet man in his early fifties, has his eye on one of them, Marek. Gathering his courage, he speaks to him. The young man agrees to come and visit Daniel the following day at his place, with wholly unpredictable consequences. Daniel will have to learn to fight to defend himself and the youth from the violent reaction of the group, led by a brutal man who is determined not to loosen his grip.<\/p>\n

L\u2019ARM\u00c9E DU SALUT <\/strong>
\nby Abdellah Ta\u00efa (France, 81\u2019)
\nwith Said Mrini, Karim Ait M\u2019hand, Amine Ennaji
\nIn Casablanca, the young Abdellah spends his days at home, living a relationship of conflicts and complicity with his father. In the city streets, he has occasional sexual intercourses with men. During a holiday, his older and venerated brother Slimane abandons him. Ten years later. Abdellah lives with his Swiss lover, Jean. He leaves Morocco and goes to Geneva, where he decides to break up and to start a new life alone. He takes shelter in a house of the Salvation Army, where a Moroccan man sings a song of his idol Abdel Halim Hafez for him.<\/p>\n

3 BODAS DE MAS<\/strong>
\nby Javier Ruiz Caldera (Spain, 94\u2019)
\nwith Inma Cuesta, Mart\u00edn Rivas, Quim Guti\u00e9rrez
\nIs there anything worse than being invited to your ex-boyfriend\u00b4s wedding? Sure! When it happens three times in one month, when you don\u00b4t know how to say no, when you are an awkward 30-something who loses it after a couple drinks, when the only person you can convince to be your date is the new intern, and when at one of the weddings you are up for a huge surprise, when it comes to the sentence \u201cyou may now kiss the bride\u201d.<\/p>\n
