There is a fragile ceasefire between Predators and Prey, upheld by an anonymous Ninja Warrior known as Red Shadow. The Wolf, however, has reached the end of his endurance; he is tired of trying to eat vegetarian recipes. One day, he decides to try to find a legal way around the truce that will allow him to hunt some delicious little goats without being punished. What he doesn’t know is that these little goats are students at a special school of martial arts that trains small animals to defend themselves. Wolf may have teeth, but these goats have real talent.

ROQIA
Director: Yanis Koussim
In 1993, a tragic car crash leaves Ahmed with amnesia. He returns to his home village where nothing seems familiar — even his family feel like strangers. His bandaged face terrifies his youngest child, while nocturnal visitors whispering litanies in an unknown language haunt him. Who are they? Why is Ahmed missing the index finger on his right hand? Why does his neighbor make him feel uncomfortable? In the present day, an aging Raqi (a Muslim exorcist) suffering from Alzheimer’s disease also has a missing index finger on his right hand that trembles ominously. With a surge of unexplained violence and the possessed speaking an unknown language, his devoted disciple fears an ancient evil will be unleashed.
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.
THE SECRET AGENT
Director: Kleber Mendonça Filho
Fasten your seatbelts: Brazil is in the throes of a military dictatorship and left-leaning academic Marcelo (Wagner Moura) is on the run and headed to Recife with his young son. Once there, he has to get his papers — and best the rogue’s gallery of characters and scenarios strewn in his path by director Kleber Mendonça Filho. Set in 1977, The Secret Agent is full of surprises, cycling between B movie set pieces, some pointed satire and duelling timelines and perspectives. It is a sharp political drama that delivers an entertaining and suspenseful ride, which won best actor and best director at Cannes this year for Moura and Filho respectively. It is also Brazil’s submission to the US Academy Awards.
