Decorado

Decorado

Arnold, a mouse with his marriage and sanity on the line, is convinced his world is fake. When proven right, he draws from the help of his best friend's ghost and the outcast Mr. Mushroom to hatch an escape from both his town and A.L.M.A., the megacorporation controlling it.

Through anarchy and a cavalcade of colourful creatures, Decorado turns a mirror on the absurdity of an everyday existence that seems to have been written by someone else, and then questions what could be the alternative. What started as a short, animated film in 2016 has grown into a feature by the same filmmaker, Alberto Vázquez, offering a timely exploration of the human condition through anthropomorphic animals. Arnold is a middle-aged mouse in an existential crisis. He lives in constant suspicion because, unlike his wife María, he has long felt that the world is unreal – fake – just like a film set. When Arnold’s paranoia is proven true, the ghost of his best friend and the outcast Mr. Mushroom help him hatch a cunning plan to escape their town and the all-encompassing social and economic control of A.L.M.A. (Almighty Limitless Megacorporative Agency).

What happens when roided-up social media influencer, Jim Parfait, who rules Paris’s queer clubs with his bulging pecs, is struck down by the heinously beige plague heterosis? It’s left to nerdy twink Lucien to save the day, if only he can keep his right-wing mum at bay.

We Are Aliens

We Are Aliens

In a small Japanese town, Tsubasa is drawn to Gyotaro, a strange, magnetic boy who claims he is an alien. Their friendship and its heartbreaking end echo across decades in a visually extraordinary animation about childhood, memory and how differently we can experience the same life-changing moments.

Bitter Christmas

Bitter Christmas

Plagued by migraines, frustrated filmmaker Elsa (Bárbara Lennie) mines the death of her mother and the tragedy of her friend Natalia (Milena Smit) for a screenplay. Twenty years later, Almodóvar stand-in Raúl (Leonardo Sbaraglia) writes a suspiciously similar story placing him at odds with his loyal assistant, Mónica (Aitana Sánchez-Gijón). But who is fact and who is fiction in this deeply personal, Palme d’Or-nominated reckoning with art and life, also featuring Almodóvar stalwart Rossy de Palma.
