In observing a solitary classmate, a student begins to suspect that the loner has the ability to write words that will kill those who read them.

On February 21, 2013, Samantha, an American actor living in Los Angeles, received a message via Facebook that would drastically change her life. It was from Anaïs, a French fashion design student living in London. Anaïs' friends viewed a video on YouTube featuring Samantha. They were immediately blown away by the identical appearance of Samantha & Anaïs. After a few light Google stalking sessions, Anaïs & her friends discovered that both girls were born on November 19, 1987 and adopted shortly after. Anaïs knew immediately that it was possible for Samantha to be her biological twin sister and reached out to her through Twitter & Facebook. This sparked the beginning of the journey for Samantha and Anaïs.

Two middle-aged doctors and longtime friends reunite after a long separation and find themselves in a love triangle. Pyotr, Sasha, and Katya feel that life has passed them by. They seek spiritual salvation in a cruel modern world.

In this funny and moving documentary, acclaimed film-maker Daisy Asquith tells the very personal story of her mother's conception after a dance in the 1940s on the remote west coast of Ireland. By exploring the repercussions of this act, Daisy and her mother embark on a fascinating and emotional adventure in social and sexual morality. Her grandmother, compelled to run away to have her baby in secret, handed the child over to 'the nuns'. Daisy's mum was eventually adopted by English Catholics from Stoke-on-Trent. Her grandmother returned to Ireland and told no-one. The father remained a mystery for another 60 years, until Daisy and her mum decided it was time to find out who he was. Their attempts to find the truth make raw the fear and shame that Catholicism has wrought on the Irish psyche for centuries. It leads Daisy and her mum to connect with a brand new family living an extraordinarily different life.

Ukraine's topless feminist sensation Femen has created a media frenzy across Europe, but before they take the world by storm, these bold and beautiful women must confront the dark and perverse forces that power their organisation.

1996 film by Mary Harron

film directed by Marcela Said

After a botched surgery a rookie doctor takes a job in a meteorological station in the Arctic Circle.

After being diagnosed with brain cancer, a desperate American man kidnaps the reptilian lover of the snake goddess in hopes of gaining immortality.

Elle Marja, 14, is a reindeer-breeding Sami girl. Exposed to the racism of the 1930s and phrenological examinations at her boarding school, she starts dreaming of another life. To achieve this other life she has to become someone else and break all ties with her family and culture.

A first film as producer/director for the celebrated actress Sachiko Hidari, who plays a leading role herself and can also be seen in Double Suicide at Sonezaki in this year's Festival. Ms. Hidari was born in 1930, and worked as a teacher of music and gymnastics before signing with the independent Sogo Geijutsu company as an actress in 1952. Her first significant appearances were in two of Heinosuke Gosho's 1954 films. An Inn at Osaka and the The Cock Crows Again, and she has subsequently played the female lead in such films as Tomotaka Tosaka's The Maid's Kid, Sosumu Hani's She and He and Imamura's The Insect Woman. She founded her own production company to co-produce The Far Road with the Japanese National Railway Workers' Union with whom she shared a wish to bring to the screen for the first time something of the lives and problems of blue-collar workers in the Japanese Railways. The resulting film is large in ambition and scale; it was two years in production, and finally cost some 120 million yen.
The film begins on Railroad Day (14 October) 1975, with railway employee Ichizo Takinoue travelling to Sapporo with his wife Satoko to receive to Sapporo with his wife Satoko to receive his award for 30 years' service - a wristwatch. That evening, Ichizo's suppressed tensions and resentments come to the surface when for no rational reason he violently opposes his daughter Yuki's proposed marriage. Satoko (played by Ms.Hidari) thinks ruefully back to the day she married Ichizo and reflects on the changes that both they and the Japan National Railway have been through.
Through a series of flashbacks, the film identifes the crucial year of transition. In the early 60's, when the family had two young children and Satoko went out to work as well as Ichizo, the first wave of modernisation hit the railways: job security was threatened and Ichizo twice failed his promotion exams. By 1966, the introduction of new technology was resulting in lay-offs: Satoko, feeling that she should not have to work simply to earn enough for the family to live on, urged Ichizo to join the Union and support its fight or job security and better wages. In 1970, the Marusei (production improvement movement) took off, and a second Railway Workers' UNion was founded, this one secretly guided by the JNR management. Factionalism set in, and old friends found themselves divided.....Back in the present, Ichizo takes stock of his situation and realises that he has been taking out his feelings of uncertainty and impotence on his family. He gives his blessing to his daughter's marriage, and he and Satoko travel with their daughter and son-in-law to Nagasaki. The young couple inspire the old couple to reassess the 'far road' ahead of them.

In August 1954, Alcide De Gasperi, now at the end of his personal and political career, left the Christian Democrats' headquarters in Rome and visited his daughter, Lucia, a nun. He revealed to her that he had definitively retired from active politics and was leaving for Sella for a period of rest, necessary for his precarious health. Upon arriving in Sella, where he was reunited with his family, the statesman and his grandson Giorgio went for a walk in the mountains, and there, prompted by the boy's questions, he began to recount his life story, an often painful journey down memory lane.

A mother with an affection to air-refreshers, a daughter looking down on her mothers job.
