Cédric Ido
The crime-ridden Parisian banlieues are familiar from films such as La Haine and Les Miserables, but French-Burkinabe director Cedric Ido surprises us by mixing his story of ghetto delinquency with an unlikely element: science fiction. At its centre are brothers Daniel (Max Gomis) - a professional athlete whose wife is urging a rapid move to Canada - and Joshua (Steve Tientcheu), the wheelchair-bound drug kingpin with a terrifying personality. Tension mounts when their former friend Christophe (Jean-Baptiste Anoumon) returns from prison, looking for whoever grassed him up and enraged by the sight of new young dealers delivering to his old customers. But something else is happening, ignored by these self-styled Ronin. Up in a reddening sky, the eight planets are aligning, sending gravity haywire - and nobody knows what will happen next. This genre-busting movie mixes French urban drama with a Japanese anime aesthetic to create something unique, extraordinary and beguiling.

A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH

Director: Anas Ba-Tahaf

A quirky love story set against the bustling backdrop of Jeddah. Convinced a generational curse will kill her on her 30th birthday, the superstitious Hayat is ready to embrace fate. Meanwhile the brilliant but shy heart surgeon Yousef suffers from a slow heartbeat, finding his only thrill when holding a scalpel. He grapples with a hidden urge to kill, which he suppresses until he meets Hayat. Fate entwines the woman who wants to die and the man who wants to kill, setting a tragic plan in motion. Everything falls into place until a life-affirming love intervenes. This exceptional tale, brought to life by a witty script and cast, uses the city’s stunning Red Sea scenery to explore the unpredictable beauty of life and connection.

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?
