OFFICIAL SELECTION - UN CERTAIN REGARD

THE OTHER SIDE

by Roberto Minervini

In an invisible territory at the margins of society, at the border between anarchy and illegality, lives a wounded community that is trying to respond to a threat: of being forgotten by political institutions and having their rights as citizens trampled. Disarmed veterans, taciturn adolescents, drug addicts trying to escape addiction through love, ex-special forces soldiers still at war with the world, floundering young women and future mothers, and old people who have not lost their desire to live. Through this hidden pocket of humanity, the door opens to the abyss of today’s America.

DIRECTORS' FORTNIGHT

BEYOND MY GRANDFATHER ALLENDE by Marcia Tambutti Allende

35 years after the coup d’état that overthrew her grandfather, Salvador Allende, Marcia wishes to change the family custom of not speaking about him and their tragic history. She believes it is time to recover the family memories snatched away during the coup and to unveil their intimate past buried under Allende´s political transcendence, exile and family pain. She draws a family portrait that addresses the complexities of irreparable losses and the role of memory in three generations of an iconic family. The translucent intimacy brings the viewer so close that we all become grandchildren of Allende.

PHANTOM BOY by Alain Gagnol & Jean-Loup Felicioli

Leo, an 11-year-old boy from New York, is a phantom boy: he can become invisible and fly through walls. He befriends Alex, a police officer temporarily stuck in a wheelchair. Alex was hurt by a mysterious gangster threatening the city with a dangerous computer virus. Together they form an extraordinary duo, with Leo in the air and Alex on the ground. They are forced to look after Marie, a willful journalist who goes in search of the crook and whom Alex secretly has a crush on. When Marie falls prey to the gangster, our duo has to wield all their powers to find her, and save New York from destruction.

CHORUS by François Delisle

A separate couple meet again after ten years when we found the body of their missing son. During their forced reunion, they both handle the death of their child in their own way. Amid the guilt of losing a loved one, they haltingly move toward affirmation of life, acceptance of death and even the possibility of reconciliation. Chorus is a love story that emerges from mourning and leads to two survivors clinging to each other as if to heal the deepest cut of all.
