Montevideo, vidimo se! (or) See You in Montevideo (Serbian, 2014)
A cleverly portrayed and enacted sports drama encompassing upsets, romance, tyranny and unity - ‘See you in Montevideo’ has it all – a spellbinding tour through the emotions and fanaticism surrounding the world of soccer, regarding people for whom soccer is the world!
Miekkailija (or) The Fencer (Estonian, 2015)
The Fencer is successful in engaging the audience not because of the sport being played but due to the way it positions sport as a healer, a confidence-builder and essentially as a tool to empower the diffident.
Morqaye (or) Moor (Urdu, 2015)
Moor brings to film the tale of a crumbling family that is confused whether to wholly embrace the traditional past or immerse into the immoral future. While the thought behind the knot is laudable the overall execution leaves us befuddled in spite of some stirring music & breath-taking cinematography.
Hrútar (or) Rams (Icelandic, 2015)
Rams is one of those heartwarming human dramas that applies to so many nations across the world. Its typical deadpan Scandinavian humor along with some spectacular widescreen camera work make it an experience to cherish.
La Niña De Fuego (or) Magical Girl (Spanish, 2014)
Magical Girl is one of those films that slowly pulls you into the plot only to let you hanging as it stumbles horribly in the third act.
