- DirectorMaría AparicioStarsEva BiancoMalena LeónPablo LimarziThe portrait of a city and a contemporary saga of a middle class viewed through its relationship with work, depicts the everyday lives of four people with an artistry that's abundant yet sober, generous yet precise. The dramatisation, stripped of any effects, is entirely devoted to the attention it pays to the characters. Ramiro, Nora, Hernan and Lucia don't know each other. The only thing they have in common is that they work or are looking for work, and they live in the same city. They never meet, but all of them cross paths with the young woman with aquiline features, a musical presence who discreetly harmonises the film, accompanying it with her gentle melodies. Maria Aparicio, observing in the background, leaves these solitary presences to develop in parallel. Without ever raising its voice, the film unfolds with restraint and moderation, focusing on humility. When, in the dead of night, a female police officer asks a cross-dressing singer to go and sing elsewhere as he lip-synchs Maria Callas' rendition of Tacea la notte placida (How Peaceful was the Night), all the sadness of a world reduced to silence is encapsulated in a sequence of rare beauty. In this melancholic black and white painting, the poetics of the image elevate the everyday to the unusual, the gloom to sweet fantasy, in discrete epiphanies like those magic tricks performed with mischief or the savvy pleasure taken in reciting a theatrical script. "I was sad, but I'm better" says one of the characters at the end of the film. Just as the clouds over the city come and go, caught up in the infinite movement of time, the characters' sadness eventually subsides and seems to disappear to "that place that no one has ever visited, that place we call the past", in the words of Juan Jose Saer (Las Nubes).

The moment Duterte sat as the new president of the Philippines in the year 2016, his biggest act was launching his so-called war against drugs, shocking the world for its brutality and the ensuing human rights abuses. Extra-judicial killings attributed to drugs have become rampant and most of the crimes are connected to the police. The atrocities are corroding Lt. Papauran physically and spiritually.

- DirectorGuy DavidiMaking a war is a storyteller's job. A good story is crucial to legitimize the use of military force. That's why militaries need strong promotion and Israel is a model country in promoting its military ventures. We've successfully colonized, occupied and overgrown, and only got stronger and more accepted amongst the nations. Our history as persecuted Jews, our enlightened democracy are both in use in our solid PR kit. But before pitching our story to the world, we need to pitch it to our children. As moral corruption linked with apartheid thrives, avoiding service becomes a threat. For some children we'll offer benefits, for most we'll sell fictitious promises. Every child is screened to serve with bearable pressure and an adjusted amount of exposure to violence. 'Innocence' tells the story of children who resisted to be enlisted but capitulated. Their stories were never told as they died during their service. Through a narration based on their haunting diaries, the film depicts their inner turmoil. It interweaves first-hand military images, key moments from childhood until enlistment and home videos of the deceased soldiers whose stories are silenced and seen as a national threat.
