How to Win at Checkers (Every Time)<\/a> Thailand\/USA\/Indonesia 2015 The poor outlying districts of Bangkok are a world where you grow up very quickly. After both their\u00a0parents die, eleven-year-old Oat, his little sister and his older brother Ek move in with their aunt. Ek 11.00 am, Habbel am Ufer<\/strong> Nasty Baby<\/a> USA 2014 Freddy is an artist whose desire for a baby has become something of an obsession. He surrounds\u00a0himself with photographs of his childhood and is working feverishly on a fresh piece about new-borns.\u00a0He and his partner Mo have even managed to persuade their best friend Polly to have their baby.\u00a0However, after numerous failed attempts to conceive, this proves to be more difficult than they first 13.00 pm, CinemaxX 7<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0Sangail\u0117<\/strong><\/a> Lithuania\/France\/Netherlands 2015 Seventeen-year-old Sangaile is mesmerised by the dance-like loop-de-loop and pirouettes of\u00a0acrobatic pilots. She herself suffers from vertigo and could never imagine sitting in a cockpit. A quiet\u00a0and introverted girl, she is spending her summer in the countryside at her parents\u2019 holiday home\u00a0where she tries to see the local air shows as often as she can. This is where she meets Auste, who\u00a0lives out her days with impressive confidence and plenty of imagination. Sangail\u00e9 is fascinated by\u00a0Auste\u2019s natural assertiveness. Together the girls sample everything that life in the country has to\u00a0offer. They soon become close and, when Sangail\u00e9 shares with Auste her most intimate secret, it\u00a0gives her a sense of security she has never known before and provides her with the courage to fly\u00a0for the first time in her life. In buoyant, cinematic images suffused with light Alant\u00e9 Kava\u00eft\u00e9 brings\u00a0together the isolated emotions of two very different girls in the universe that is young love. In her\u00a0sensitive, intensely sensual film, she tells the story of their intimacy, their passionate devotion and\u00a0delicate collisions; their vulnerability and sense of trust.<\/p>\n 14.00 pm, Kino International<\/strong><\/p>\n Der letzte Sommer der Reichen<\/strong><\/a> Austria\u00a02015 Young and attractive company executive Hanna von Stezewitz (Amira Casar) has everything, and\u00a0just takes whatever she doesn\u2019t. She\u2019s an arrogant and unscrupulous manipulator who has politicians 14.30 pm, Cubix 9<\/strong><\/p>\n El hombre nuevo<\/a> Uruguay\/Chile 2015 At the tender age of twelve, Roberto supported the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua and fought\u00a0for education and social reforms. He was to continue his political struggle fighting alongside the 14.30 pm, CineStar 7<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/a>San Crist\u00f3bal<\/a> Chile 2015 Lucas and Antonio. Two young men meet and fall in love in a remote fishing village in the south\u00a0of Chile. One lives there, the other is visiting. Sensuality dictates the pace of the narrative and the\u00a0lives of both in the days to follow: Being one another\u2019s mirror. Recognising one another. Yielding\u00a0to one another. When the village rebels against their love, the experience of this limitation marks a\u00a0momentous step in Lucas\u2019 and Antonio\u2019s adulthood.A simple story of love and devotion, shot in the\u00a0style of Direct Cinema. A not-so-simple setting, in Chile\u2019s Deep South, where anything that breaks out of the perceived norm is to be destroyed immediately, punished. The characters know of the\u00a0limitations within the village. The romantic notion of resistance is brief; of greater importance are life and the love that is found. Going further. Going beyond the self.<\/p>\n 16.00 pm, CinemaxX 5<\/strong><\/p>\n Beira-Mar<\/strong><\/a> Brazil 2015 https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=E42_LXLLLTY<\/p>\n Having been good friends for years, Martin and Tomaz now find themselves on the cusp of\u00a0adulthood. Martin\u2019s father sends his son to southern Brazil, where the family is from, to sort out an inheritance matter. Tomaz accompanies him there. For both of them, the brief excursion to the coastal town becomes a journey into themselves. It\u2019s not just the sea that nearly reaches the doors of the country house which exerts a slow, yet relentless pull on them \u2013 the two friends have the same effect on one other. Filipe Matzembacher and Marcio Reolon\u2019s richly atmospheric, autobiographically inspired feature debut follows its two main characters on a weekend that will change their relationship forever. Beira-Mar is a wander through the borderlands between love and friendship, exploring sexual orientation and personal identity. The outstanding camerawork picks up on the protagonists\u2019 complex emotional states in the same way as the soundtrack captures the roaring of the sea: gentle and powerful in equal measure. Always on an equal footing with the subject and the characters, the film creates a moment of magic and tenderness. Looking for love and finding it are sometimes one and the same thing.<\/p>\n 16.30 pm, Delphi Filmpalast<\/strong><\/p>\n Calamity qui?<\/strong><\/a> Canada\/France 2014 Christine Boisson is being interviewed at her Parisian apartment. The things she says and the images that appear seem to have\u00a0something to do with the legendary character named Calamity Jane. But what exactly is the relationship between the two women?<\/p>\n

\nworks in a bar for male prostitutes and transvestites. His relationship with Jai, the son of rich parents,\u00a0began when he was still at school.

Young Oat steals money from the local mafia boss in order to buy their\u00a0beloved brother and family breadwinner out of the army. His actions have dramatic and traumatic\u00a0consequences.Told from the younger brother’s point of view, the film takes a refreshingly unadorned\u00a0and impartial look at an essentially loving environment where social conditions are governed by\u00a0venality, corruption and false ideals.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\nwith his serious chicanery, their hitherto carefree existence starts to go dangerously awry. A series\u00a0of surprising events bring their frustrations to a head and before long, Freddy and his friends begin
\nto lose their grip on reality.Sebasti\u00e0n Silva\u2019s savagely satirical film is an angry portrait of a group of\u00a0presumptuous and self-absorbed bohemians. The director himself plays the role of Freddy, infusing
\nhis performance with the complacency, doggedness, ignorance and egomania of a social circle which\u00a0is in the process of becoming estranged from their original visions and dreams.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\nand banks in her pocket \u2013 she\u2019s a perfect example of predatory capitalism whose preferred sartorial\u00a0look is patent leather and leather. To avoid boredom she seeks ever more extreme kicks and sees\u00a0her abuse of a young girl with hopes of a career merely as collateral damage, nothing money can\u2019t\u00a0fix. The only person who stands in her way is her bedridden grandfather, the family patriarch, and his\u00a0reactionary worldview. Desperate to be rid of him, she hires a killer. When Hanna unexpectedly finds\u00a0a lover who is her equal in the shape of Sarah, the nun who is her grandfather\u2019s nurse, her happiness\u00a0seems complete. But does she really have everything under control? Peter Kern has succeededin creating an angry, \u00a0opulent portrait of manners in which everyone \u2013 rich or poor \u2013 is corruptible\u00a0or at least susceptible to seduction, and criminality and capital go hand in glove. A merry dance of\u00a0corruption in which anyone who steps out of time is simply brushed aside.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\ncommunist Tupamaros in Uruguay. Thirty years later he is struggling to live his life as a woman\u00a0named Stephan\u00eda and striving to be accepted by both society and his family. Documentary filmmaker
\nAldo Garay has followed Stephan\u00eda for over twenty years. In El Hombre Nuevo he provides a\u00a0personal and tender portrait of a woman who can look back on a tempestuous life in which violence,
\ndrugs, prostitution and political commitment all found its place. Scenes from her day-to-day life are\u00a0interspersed with interview material that includes conversations with old friends, fellow-travellers\u00a0and siblings, as well as a passionate, heated exchange with her mother. The picture of society that\u00a0emerges is as diverse as it is intimate, and spans a time of great political upheaval in the 1970s to
\nthe present day.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
