Little Zezo and his rascal brother are horsing around in the kitchen when the older boy discovers something amazing: he can put his hand into boiling tea without getting burnt. It is only the first of a series of strange changes that are about to come over him, earning him the name Super-Blurry Boy, but nobody seems to notice. Sister Nora just wants the boys out of the way; his parents are too busy arguing to see what is happening to their boy. By nightfall, he will have discovered a super-power nobody could have imagined. A whimsical comedy, shot in black and white, in the joyous spirit of early cinema.

DREAMING OF LIONS
Director: Paolo Marinou-Blanco
For anyone who likes to laugh at events that should make you want to cry Dreaming of Lions will be your favourite movie of the year. This absurdist tragicomedy from Greek-Portuguese director Paulo Marinou-Blanco introduces us to Gilda, a terminally ill woman whose dying wish is for her painful existence to stop as quickly and peacefully as possible. When her attempts at ending her life fail, she seeks professional help and discovers the Joy Transition International. She attends their funny meetings, which bring new friends, a lover and 99 problems. However, when she finds out that the organisation is not what it seems, she and her new beau decide to take matters into their own hands with heartwarming results.
NIGHT OF THE ZOOPOCALYPSE
Director: Ricardo Curtis
When a meteor crashes into Colepepper Zoo, it releases a virus that turns infected animals into slavering zombies. The few remaining unaffected must band together to escape the virus, find a cure and - most importantly - defeat the Bunny King, a mad mutant beast who wants to spread the virus beyond the zoo to animals everywhere. Young wolf Gracie teams up with mountain lion Dan to find and warn her pack; Xavier, the movie-obsessed lemur; Frida, the fiery capybara; ostrich Ash and the untrustworthy monkey Felix make up the rest of the squabbling, motley crew. A colourful tale with echoes of the recent global pandemic, the Zoopocalypse is a treat for adult animation buffs as much as children.
CROCODILE TEARS
Director: Tumpal Tampubolon

Johan, a young man tethered to his mother, Mama, by invisible but unbreakable chains, dreams of freedom yet remains under her suffocating grip. Isolated from the world, their life on the farm is a tense routine of survival and emotional manipulation, disrupted only when a young woman’s arrival threatens the delicate balance. As Johan begins to see through Mama’s relentless hold, he confronts the painful reality of their bond: is it love, or is it tyranny? Director Tumpal Tampubolon dives deep into the tangled web of family loyalty and control in this haunting drama raising timeless questions about family, power, and the cost of independence.
