Winner of the World Cinema - Dramatic Audience Award and the World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award for Creative Vision at Sundance Film Festival. Ahmet, a 15-year-old boy from a remote Yuruk village in North Macedonia, finds refuge in music while navigating his father’s expectations, a conservative community, and his first experience with love — a girl already promised to someone else. Undeterred by his shepherding responsibilities, Ahmet enlists the help of his brother Naim to channel his musical ambitions and dazzle Aya, whose dance troupe is preparing to take the village festival by storm. Sundance Film Festival’s Short Film Program alum Georgi M. Unkovski (Sticker, 2020) makes his delightful feature film debut with this inspiring tribute to the unifying power of music at any age, as well as the unexpected freedoms it can provide. Unkovski looks to a charming young cast and sumptuous, dreamlike cinematography to capture the clash of modernity and tradition with fresh eyes, revealing a rural landscape transformed by the beat and bursting with color and movement. Uplifted by warm humor, lovable characters, and an unsurprisingly catchy soundtrack, DJ Ahmet casts a welcome spell that reverberates long after the last joyous note.

Based on Donna Tartt’s 2013 novel of the same name, “The Goldfinch” centres around Theodore "Theo" Decker, a young man with a troubled childhood. Theo was only 13 years old when a tragedy marks him forever - his mother dies in a bombing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York while he manages to survive the attack. In the chaos and debris around him, Theo gets something that goes with him through his entire life, full of misery, guilt and pain. It is the vision of his mother favourite work of art from the Dutch Golden Age, “The Goldfinch”. While the painting becomes famous thanks to Donna Tartt’s novel, the story of its artist, Carel Fabritius, is even stranger than a fiction could create.
When a small alien creature crashes into the Mojave Desert in 1999, it sets off a chain reaction that, many years later, changes the lives of a boy and his dog forever. Danny grows up with his faithful dog Charlie, but as Charlie grows old and frail, it seems their adventure is over – until Charlie and the neighbor's cat are abducted by aliens one night. When he returns, he is young again, can talk – and has gained superpowers. Soon he becomes the world's first super dog, rescuing people in need and winning everyone's hearts. But his fame arouses the envy of the power-hungry neighbor cat, who, like Charlie, has gained special abilities after his visit to space and who plans to make all cats superior and force humanity to submit to them. To stop him, Charlie must find his courage and faith in himself again - and show that true heroes are not measured by strength, but by heart. “Charlie the Superdog” is a terrific, heartwarming and humorous family adventure about friendship, loyalty and courage – and how even the smallest paw can make the biggest difference.
