Concerned Citizen (Israel, 2022)
In this wickedly funny satire, liberal gay man Ben moves with his partner into an apartment in a run-down but up-and-coming neighbourhood. To improve the area, Ben plants a tree outside his building, a good deed which unwittingly triggers a series of events that result in the brutal arrest of an Eritrean immigrant. Guilt-stricken and with his vision of himself and society shaken, Ben, experiences a crisis that threatens to destroy his relationship and aspirations of fatherhood.

Sublime (Argentina, 2022)
Best friends Manuel and Felipe live in a coastal town in Argentina. Here they spend all their time together playing in their rock band and working on converting an old van into a secret love nest to entertain their respective girlfriends. A talented songwriter, Felipe pours his soul into his lyrics, evoking thwarted desire. With their gig debut just around the corner, things come to a head, and suddenly everything is at stake: friendship, love, and the band. Mariano Biasin’s vibrant drama, Sublime vividly captures the heartache of adolescent angst and longing.

When he meets Tib, a young city lad struggling with his own scars of isolation, there’s chemistry, not only sexually but also emotionally, as both men find something they have been missing.
