Other movies
LATE SHIFT
Director: Petra Volpe
Petra Volpe’s salute to caregivers is executed with strength and admiration. Led by a nuanced and meticulous performance from Leonie Benesch, Late Shift is an eloquent plea for compassion, as well as being a gripping story about a day in the life of a hospital worker. Floria (Benesch) is a nurse on an understaffed surgical ward, where she balances the constant demands of her patients — medical and emotional — knowing that every decision she makes (or neglects) could have fatal consequences. Floria, and Volpe’s camera, are constantly on the move to beeping monitors and crash carts in the ward’s confined quarters. As Switzerland’s Oscar submission, Late Shift delivers high drama and a sharp question: who will care for the carers?
HUMAN TIDE
Director: David Ward
Each year, millions of Muslims embark on the sacred pilgrimage of Hajj. Documentary Human Tide provides an intimate look at this spiritual journey through the eyes of six diverse groups of pilgrims, each with personal reasons for making this once-in-a-lifetime trip. Among them are Yousef and his father Wasim from Sweden, who seek healing from mental health struggles. By weaving together their individual voices, the film offers a captivating portrait that reveals the profound transformations it sparks.
