All the films in the festival are worth seeing. However if you are not able to see them all we try to provide you in this section with a quick guide to allow you to match the films to your taste. We recommend you to visit the synopsis section too.
1. Drama
Lebanon
A story of war with all that it implies: though scenes, constant pressure, breathtaking drama. It is not a story of glory but a drama that deals with emotions and interrelations within a tank. Innovative cinema. Won the "Golden Lion" in Venice Film Festival 2009.
Eyes Wide Open
A gay love story in the heart of the ultra Orthodox Jewish community. The struggle of the "different" in a very conservative society. A couple’s relationship and their relations with their surroundings
Ajami
A series of stories woven together and the end reveals their inter links.
A mosaic of Muslim Arabs, Christian Arabs and Jews, of criminals, policemen and regular citizens. Ordinary people in an impossible situation.
2. Comedy
A Matter of Size
The story deals with a serious subject: the pressure that society puts on the overweight but it is done in a very funny manner.
James Journey to Jerusalem
A satire, a mirror that shows us how we are and when we are laughing we are laughing at ourselves.
3. Charming
Five Hours from Paris
A small love story, a melancholy romance.
Eli & Ben
A serious subject (criminal charges) but seen through the eyes of a twelve year old .
A family movie.
