Julio Hernández Cordón, (MX/DE, 2015, 88’)  -  Language: Spanish, Subtitles: German, English

A mixture of film noir and social drama with many differing styles, Julio Hernández Codrón’s film ­follows friends and lovers, Miguel and Johnny, through Mexico City. When they are not skating, getting high, or exploring their sexuality, they trade their blood illegally for money. At first they merely “milk” themselves or their acquaintances, but soon greed draws them into a coup with unforeseen ­consequences. The story takes on a darker poignancy against the backdrop of the repeated disappearances in the film, which sadly reflects reality in Mexico.

Michal Vinik, (IL, 2015, 85’) - Language: Hebrew, Subtitle: German

17-year old Na’ama Barash is bored to bits in the dull suburbs of Tel Aviv. Then her sister goes missing at a military base where she’s stationed, and Dana, a new girl at school, brings alcohol, drugs and love into Barash’s life. Michal Vinik’s accomplished film debut tells a complex coming of age story, without ignoring the surrounding social conflicts. A rightful winner of a number of awards in Israel and abroad.
