Initially ambitious about their plans to transform the desolate and neglected land and raise an heir\, Andres and Krõõt are beset by challenges: nature refuses to bend to their will; an uncooperative neighbor becomes a vicious rival; and Krõõt gives birth to daughter after daughter instead of Andres’ longed-for son. As Andres struggles\, his dream of nurturing a prosperous farm on Robber’s Rise turns into an obsession. And in his desperate search for truth and justice — from the court\, to the tavern\, to the Bible — he may end up sacrificing more than he had ever planned. In 2019\, Truth and Justice was shortlisted for the International Feature Film category at the 92nd Academy Awards.  Directed by Tanel Toom (2019\, Estonia.

With the desire of making more money\, he sets his sights on Europe and eventually arrives in Brussels hoping to get a job at an abattoir. Alone in a new country\, he is unjustly fired and unable to find new work when he falls in with a couple of Polish guest workers\, tempted by their promises of construction work and a passport. Oleg soon comes to realize that he’s in over his head and finds himself in an increasingly claustrophobic position. Gritty and uncompromising\, Oleg highlights the perilous situation that migrant workers and stateless citizens can quickly find themselves in as industrious criminals fill in the gaps in local social systems. Premiering at Directors’ Fortnight as part of the 2019 Cannes Film Festival\, Oleg is director Juris Kursietis’ (Modris) second film.  (2019\, Latvia / Belgium / Lithuania / France.  In English with some Russian\, Polish\, Latvian\, French and Flemish with English Subtitles) 108 min. \n \nThe Lawyer /Advokatas \nLife is slowly passing corporate lawyer Marius by and he spends most of his time at dinner parties and chasing young lovers. After the death of his estranged father\, Marius finds himself looking for answers and finds himself developing a surprising connection with sex-cam worker Ali – a bisexual Syrian refugee stuck in Belgrade. Relieved at finally having something to focus on\, Marius throws himself into helping Ali seek asylum in a more LGBTQ+-friendly country in Europe. Marius travels to Belgrade which deepens the mens’ connection and tests their internal and physical borders. What started as a distraction\, has blossomed into a tricky love affair leading Marius to question his privilege and his priorities. The Lawyer is a unique Lithuanian drama that premiered at the 2020 BFI Flare Film Festival. Directed by Romas Zabarauskas\, (2020 Lithuania.  In Lithuanian and English with English subtitles) 97 min.
