Jaime Chávarri
Spain
96 min.
Following the death of the official poet of the Francoist regime, Leopoldo Panero, his widow (Felicidad Blanc) and his three sons (Juan Luis, Leopoldo María and Michi) meet to remember his figure. Shot in the final stages of the Franco era, the film became an unwitting metaphor of a country that was starting to air its secrets and into an emblem of the Spanish Transition.
Andrzej Wajda
Poland
88 min.
The story follows Andrzej, a young doctor with a passion for jazz, a somewhat cynical persona with a carefree lifestyle. One night he meets a mysterious young woman called Pelagia with whom he spends the night playing a game of seduction full of masks, irony and mistrust. For a few hours, their relationship evolves between attraction and detachment, revealing the difficulty of establishing real ties in an environment marked by emotional uncertainty.

Jacques Tati
France - Sweden
89 min.
Return to the ring and to the music hall for Tati who, shot at the Stockholm Cirkus for Swedish television, made a video recording of the mime acts that earned him fame across Europe. Surrounded by virtuoso artists: musicians, clowns, acrobats, in an atmosphere of joy and total freedom, Tati poses the question of the generation takeover while celebrating the colourful inventiveness of childhood.
Miloš Forman
USA
135 min.
When Randle Patrick McMurphy gets transferred for evaluation from a prison farm to a mental institution, he assumes it will be a less restrictive environment. But the martinet Nurse Ratched runs the psychiatric ward with an iron fist, keeping her patients cowed through abuse, medication and sessions of electroconvulsive therapy. The battle of wills between the rebellious McMurphy and the inflexible Ratched soon affects all the ward's patients.
Fernando Trueba
Spain
89 min.
Non-fiction film about the life of the singer-songwriter and philosopher Chicho Sánchez Ferlosio, son of the phalangist writer Rafael Sánchez Mazas and brother of the author Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio. The film portrays the everyday existence and reflections of an unrepeatable songsmith, by then distanced from political and social life, and of the filming apparatus itself, with Fernando Trueba directing his second feature. An approach to the life of Chicho and his partner Rosa through his resistance songs.
Agnès Varda
France
102 min.
It's winter in the south of France when a young girl's frozen body is found in a ditch. She's filthy, a vagabond. Through flashbacks and brief interviews, we follow her last weeks, when she camps out alone or shacks up with a motley crew of men and women, many of whom lump their own needs onto her or try to influence the course of her life. Through other encounters, and the odd rejected offer of help, she pushes herself further into loneliness and silence.
Ana Díez
Spain
94 min.
Ander, released from jail on completing his sentence, returns to his father's house. This homecoming revives the nostalgia of a family with which he had broken all ties, while the urban landscape confronts him with a love he can almost feel. He also runs back into Yul, his best friend, who in all likelihood took his place in his home when he decided to leave. But the society they live in proves to be relentless in deciding their fate, against which they have no power to act.
Pere Portabella
Spain
88 min.
A teacher, a writer and an orchestra conductor - three people, two couples - attend a fancy literary cocktail party. The writer has recently won the prize for his book Puente de Varsovia. The winner answers the journalist's questions one after the other, but is unable to come up with a synthesis of the plot of his book. They will simply have to read it. The next thing, the orchestra conductor's body decked out in scuba diving gear turns up in a burnt forest.
