The Italian gangster film is reinvented with the help of three of the country’s most prominent actors - Pierfrancesco Favino, Toni Servillo, and Valerio Mastandrea – playing legendary but aging made men. The Roman underworld has grown crueler and more corrupt over their lifetimes; Adagio paints a devastating picture of their chaotic city, ravaged by fires and blackouts, and of a country where the binding ties of religion have frayed so much that the only bond between men is money. The three elderly men would like to find some kind of redemption. But it’s hard to break the cycle of crime, as 16-year-old Manuel discovers when he is blackmailed and has to turn to his father’s criminal pals for help.

Behind the facade of a perfect life, Nadia, a 40-year-old wife and mother of three, struggles with her marriage and a lost sense of self, leaving her emotionally detached. Her one true connection is with her eldest son, Basil, a brilliant but unsociable high school senior. When a violent outburst at school leads to his suspension, Nadia’s world crumbles. On the verge of burnout, she attempts to care for him, but as she battles her own crisis, she's pulled into his undiagnosed mental illness. As his condition spirals, Nadia's struggle to prove that her son is normal intensifies.

SEVEN SUMMITS
Director: Amir El-Shenawy
Saudi adventurer Badr Al-Shibani embarks on a quest: to climb the highest peak on each of the world's seven continents. Seven Summits documents his journey, which is as much a test of survival as it is a personal voyage of self-discovery. From the most remote and toughest peaks to his ultimate challenge on Mount Everest, Al-Shibani's story is a powerful exploration of human resilience, the search for identity and the firm drive to push past both physical and internal limits.
IN-I: IN MOTION
Director: Juliette Binoche
Juliette Binoche’s directing debut is an honest and unflinching account of her artistic collaboration with the British dancer and choreographer Akram Khan, resulting in the 2008 hybrid stage production In-I which premiered at the National Theatre in London. Khan and Binoche honed the show in a workshop, assisted by American acting coach Susan Batson and movement director Hsu Man-su, and filmed by the director’s sister Marion Stalens. Shown alongside footage of the finished show, which features sets by Anish Kapoor and music by Philip Sheppard, this new edit of In-I In Motion marks a rare chance to watch the creative process between two open-minded, questioning, and often exhausted performers as they birth a work of art.
