EEPHUS
Director: Carson Lund
New England, an amateur baseball game is being played in front of empty stands, from morning until nightfall. It’s the team's last match: tomorrow, the demolition of the arena will begin. Eephus refers to a particular pitch – a slow curveball that is difficult to hit – but one doesn't need to know the rules of baseball to grasp the ways of this world: a certain American, rural and masculinist culture. Awkward, aging and out of shape, the men are as enthusiastic about the drinks they bring to the game as they are about bats and balls. The bonds forged by the game are deep, however - and, by extension, so is their love of baseball itself in this touching and funny analogy of America.

TALES ON THE BANKS OF THE BOSPHORUS
Director: Zeina Sfeir
Stories and tales that have spread to over 150 countries worldwide, exploring themes of lost love, the foundations of life and family, and human stories devoid of "superheroes," were filmed in beautiful Turkish cities with brilliant stars who have won the hearts of viewers: this is the Turkish drama, known as "dizi." Today, the "dizi" genre is considered among the most successful series, enjoying immense popularity across the Arab world and as far away as South America and Africa. The question arises: how has an industry from a country with little foothold in distribution and filming in a minority language managed to achieve such rapid and extensive global reach? Through interviews on set with directors, producers, distributors, and stars, we uncover the secrets behind the success and behind-the-scenes stories of this drama.
