LA PRUEBA (THE TRIAL) is a wonderful picture talking about family bounds and love of the land. In her first film, Judith Velez shows her country as it has never been done before: a country full of contrast, with magnificent landscapes but still a place where living is not easy... You should go and watch this Peruvian film ! to rare to be missed !!! Having lived abroad for some years, Miranda returns to her picturesque hometown of Arequipa (Peru) to search for her long-lost father Ignacio. With her brother Tomas badly in need for a bone marrow transplant and likely to get a good match with Ignaçio, Miranda is particularly motivated to sniffing down the trail to his whereabouts. In Arequipa, she forms an unlikely partnership with hydraulic engineer and dam expert Saùl (Pietro Sibille - "Dias de Santiago"), who drives her far into the Andean countryside where clues indicate Ignaçio may be hiding...
LOVE EXPRESS , or the new way of finding one's love-mate.... LOVE EXPRESS is a first feature film beautifully directed by the Russian born director Elena Hazanov. The encounter agency "Love Express" organizes a one-night cruise on the Léman Lake for single people. 30 men and women, with various reasons will meet on board. Some are looking for their soul mates, others just want to have a good time. The cruise is led by two ceremony masters André and Anne-Charlotte, who try to solve their own love affair, all this in between senseless animations, out-of-fashion songs and ambiguous couple games. A film to be seen by all the bachelors... and their friends!
Great film from a small country. Is it so difficult to become a movie star ? Is the American dream still existing ? Micheal BLANCO reveals all... A film that deserves all your attention ! Belgian transplant Michael Blanco didn't just move to Hollywood to act he's burdened with movie star ambitions to become his country's successor to Jean Claude Van Damme. Problem is, Michael's short of stature, hair, and talent, with an accent that turns his monologues into mumbles. Writer/director Stephan Streker's muted and mesmerizing film stands apart from the Hollywood pack, revamping the streets of LA with an alien, dusty "glamor" that sustains Michael as he shuttles between failed auditions and menial jobs, never giving up his dreams of "super-stardom".
