Synopsis: Niscemi, Sicily—its wildfires and its MUOS, those imposing military antennas that mar the landscape. At nearly 30, Valentina still lives with her parents. When her father’s health begins to decline, she is forced to take control of her life. A tender, empowering story rooted in a land that is as beloved as it is ravaged.

We are delighted to announce that "Tricontinental, letter to open in case of" Laura Cazador’s new film, will be screened at Visions du Réel on 19 April!
Synopsis
May 1967. Filmmaker Michèle Firk leaves a letter ‘to be opened in case of emergency’. She joins the Guatemalan guerrilla movement, whose members she had met in Cuba during the Tricontinental Conference, a project for a united front of the ‘Third World’. Firk never finished her film. Nor, for that matter, did the Tricontinental Conference. Sixty years later, a Swiss filmmaker sets out in search of these absences.

Well done to the team!
At its Belgian premiere, the documentary by Baptiste Janon and Rémi Pons won the award for Best Socially Engaged Film in the national competition.
The jury’s verdict:
The jury celebrates Andrès for the strength of its storytelling and its powerful portraits, giving voice and face to the truck drivers we rarely see. By living alongside them and letting them speak in the third person through Andrés, the directors reveal the harsh realities of their work and daily lives. The film shines a light on conditions far too often invisible.
