- DescriptionAward-winning filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki (Le Havre, The Other Side of Hope) makes a masterful return with Fallen Leaves, a love story about two lonely souls' path to happiness and the numerous hurdles they encounter along the way. Shot through with Kaurismäki's typically playful, idiosyncratic style and deadpan humor, this tender romantic tragicomedy set in contemporary Helsinki is a timely reminder of the potency of movie-going from one of cinema's living legends. Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.

- Apr 97:45 PMFilm: "Secrets from Putumayo" (2020)In 1910, the British Consul General in Rio de Janeiro, Roger Casement, undertook an investigation into allegations of crimes against indigenous communities committed by the British-registered Peruvian Amazon Company. Secrets from Putumayo recounts the horrific treatment he uncovered there: an industrial-extractive system based on killings and slave labor in the midst of the Amazon rainforest. Casement was determined to bring awareness to the British of their own colonial atrocities by revealing the appalling human cost of the rubber industry. Blending passages from his journal with archival images, the film makes space for the Indigenous relatives of the survivors to share the oral stories passed down by the family members, who also recount current struggles for self-determination against today's multinational corporations, just as fixated on extracting the resources of the Amazon. Casement's pursuit of justice continued when he returned to his native Ireland where he became an active Irish nationalist, to be executed for treason during World War I by the British government.
