Diamantino|Diamantin o
Dir.:Gabriel Abrantes, Daniel Schmidt | Portugal, France, Brazil|2018| 92' | DCP
Diamantino, Portugal's (the world's!) top football player, is gloriously dumb and sweet-hearted. However, his footie genius has a strange manifestation – every time he faces the goal, his vision fills with giant fluffy puppies bounding through pink powder. When an encounter with some refugees suddenly throws sadness into his previously unblemished psyche, he is left with a profound desire: fatherhood. Mix in some lesbian secret police investigating offshore accounts in Panama, a nationalistic plot to get Portugal to leave the EU, along with Diamantino's psychopathic twin sisters and you have a satire that's queer, contemporary and fantastically good fun. In short, a joyful postmodern political fantasy.

When she finds two old notebooks in a forgotten box, Marguerite Duras remembers her past and the unbearable pain of waiting.

She develops a chilling relationship with local Vichy collaborator Rabier, and takes terrible risks to save Robert, playing a cat-and-mouse game of unpredictable meetings all over Paris. Does he really want to help her? Or is he trying to dig up information about the anti-Nazi underground movement? Finally the war ends and camp victims return, an excruciating period for her, a long and silent agony after the chaos of the Liberation of Paris.

05: 00 PM A Paris Education | Mes Provinciales
Dir.: Jean-paulCiveyrac | France | 2018 | 137' | DCP
Etienne moves to Paris from Lyon to study film directing at the Sorbonne. He leaves behind his girlfriend Lucie. On his course he meets Jean-Noël, and Mathias. Together they discuss the cinematic canon, read texts by Flaubert, and Pasolini, and listen to Bach, and Mahler. Jean-Noël proves to be an agreeable friend who tries to strengthen Etienne's fragile self-confidence; Mathias, on the other hand, often comes across as stern, aloof and mysterious. Fond of arguing, he has a habit of disappearing for weeks on end without the others knowing where he is. Nobody gets to see his student film, either. Etienne is particularly crestfallen when he discovers by chance that Mathias shares a secret with Annabelle, an idealistic young woman who lives in Etienne's shared flat and with whom he is secretly in love. This tenderly melancholic black-and-white study of these young people's encounter with art and life is at the same time a declaration of love for classic cinema and the city of Paris.Etienne moves to Paris from Lyon to study film directing at the Sorbonne.
