- Anita
-
Anita, a young Jewish woman with Down syndrome, lives with her devoted mother above the shop her late father started in a commercial district of Buenos Aires. Into their sweetly sedate domestic life the outside world intrudes with unexpected fury. But as Anita wanders the city lost, she finds compassion in unlikely quarters through the simple force of her ingenuous personality and open heart. Wrenching, lovely, suffused with life, Anita is a profoundly hopeful study of human innocence, compassion and resilience in a fragile, troubled world.

- Ilusiones Ópticas

A blind skier, a voyeuristic security guard, a disgruntled healthcare worker and a flat-chested secretary make up the circle of oddball, yet endearingly ordinary characters in this melancholy and comical look at the subtle differences between perception and reality. Award-winning director Cristián Jiménez pokes fun brilliantly at our obsession with appearances, leaving us to wonder if the world around us is no more than an optical illusion.

Fabian Hofman’s semi-autobiographical account of a Jewish family caught up in Argentina’s Dirty War of the 1970s centers on teenager Javier, who watches his middle-class existence come apart as leftist brother Adrian tries to stand up against the military takeover. After Adrian becomes one of the thousands of political dissidents “disappeared” by the regime, his family sends Javier to stay with relatives in Mexico, in a memorable film with a hushed, cumulative force.
