 | All My Loved OnesThe disturbing, tragic yet beautiful story of an extended Jewish family in 1938 Czechoslovakia whose stubborn faith in humanity prevented them from foreseeing the horrible reality of the Nazi threat. The story also embraces the historical figure of Nicholas Winton, the young English stockbroker who recognized the advancing danger and courageously smuggled 669 Jewish children from Prague to Great Britain in 1939. Unheedful of the reasons for the swift departure of the industrialist Stein, Dr. Jakub Silberstein spends his life savings on buying Stein's elegant villa which he shares with his wife and daughter, his son David and several eccentric but lovable brothers.

 | Don't Move (Non ti Muovere)Starring Penélope Cruz & Sergio Castellitto
A rainy day. When a car fails to stop at a red light, a fifteen-year old girl is thrown off her motorbike. The ambulance races towards a hospital - the same hospital where the girl’s father works as a surgeon. TIMOTEO (Castellitto) waits as his colleagues perform surgery on his only daughter. Trembling and distressed beyond containment, he calls his wife, ELSA (Gerini) to return from a trip to England. He stares out the window. The sight of a strange woman, just sitting alone in the pouring rain, triggers a series of flashbacks. The longest and most haunting of these is a scorching summer of many years earlier in a squalid, semi-abandoned urban wasteland where he met a destitute young woman, ITALIA (Cruz), with whom he had a powerful and visceral love affair.

 | Song of the StorkDirected by Jonathan Foo
Starring Chi Bao Pham and Ngoc Bao Ta
Song of the Stork is a historic feature film, marking several firsts in motion picture history. The production is the first ever Singaporean-Vietnamese joint effort in filmmaking. It is also the first time an international production team has been allowed into Vietnam to shoot a film about the Vietnam-American War. Many popular Hollywood Vietnam War films like Oliver Stone’s “Heaven and Earth”, Francis Ford Coppola's “Apocalypse Now” and Stanley Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket” were filmed in Thailand and the Philippines, and were unable to feature the true breathtaking scenery and beauty of Vietnam and its people.
