“Combines the social realism of a Dardenne brothers heartbreaker with a Capra-like fanfare for the ordinary man.” —Screen International @screendaily

Winner of the Panorama Audience Award at the Berlinale 2020, FATHER is an understated and utterly moving Serbian drama about a day laborer and father of two ordered to give up his children to social services after poverty drives his wife to commit a desperate act. Against all odds, this father refuses to surrender his right to raise his children.

Directed by Srdan Golubovic, starring Goran Bogdan (Fargo) and Boris Isakovic.

If this heat wave isn't enough to freak you out, give Estonian horror film NOVEMBER by Rainer Sarnet a whirl, starring Rea Lest, Jörgen Liik, Arvo Kukumägi, Katariina Unt.

"A bone-chilling, hallucinatory tour de force.” —Village Voice

Pagan legends and Christian mythologies intersect in this bold, twisted fairy tale about unrequited love. Set in a village where werewolves and spirits roam rampant, the peasantry are desperate to survive the cold, dark winter and the plague – stealing from each other and summoning the devil (as you do…)

“Sarnet elevates his Rabelaisian folktale into a tragedy illustrated by haunting, metaphorical imagery.” —Boston Globe

“A near-perfect portrait of an actor who never became a household name and yet has earned the admiration of generations of filmmakers.” —@filmthreat

HARRY DEAN STANTON – PARTLY FICTION, Sophie Huber’s impressionistic depiction of the iconic actor, is comprised of intimate moments, clips from some of his 250 films, and his own heart-breaking renditions of American folk songs. Stunningly lensed by Academy Award nominee Seamus McGarvey, the film explores the actor’s enigmatic outlook on his life, his talents as a musician, and includes candid scenes with David Lynch, Wim Wenders, Sam Shepard, Kris Kristofferson, and Debbie Harry.

“Equal parts existential lament and intimate revelation.” —@filmcommentmagazine

"An apt heir to Guillermo del Toro at his most analytical, it’s a stirring political fable dressed in the ghoulish weaves of a creepy monster flick.” — Austin Chronicle

Based on true events, DETENTION is set in 1962 during the time of the White Terror, with martial law in full force on the island, a time of extreme repression. All ideas considered to be dissident are banned, and the culprits are tortured or executed. Adapted from the eponymous video game, this masterful debut from director and co-writer John Hsu creates an at once a shocking historical drama, a melancholy coming-of-age tale, and a nightmarish horror film.

Starring Gingle Wang, Fu Meng-Po and Tse Jing-Hua

Two biographical documentaries new to OVID this we

Two biographical documentaries new to OVID this week:

HAL by Amy Scott, on the often overlooked Hal Ashby, the director of widely admired classics throughout the 1970s—Harold & Maude, The Last Detail, Shampoo, Coming Home, and Being There. Scott’s exuberant portrait explores that curious oversight, using rare archival materials, interviews, personal letters, and audio recordings to reveal a passionate, obsessive artist who constantly clashed with Hollywood, but also a unique soul with an unprecedented insight into the human condition. This inspiring documentary leaves you feeling buoyed by Ashby’s love of people and of cinema, a little like walking on water.

“In making the case for Hal Ashby as a major director due for reassessment, Amy Scott’s documentary exemplifies the notion of cinema as a powerful, complex tool of personal expression.” —Bilge Ebiri, Denver Westword

“Amy Scott pries beneath the calm surface of her bearded and bespectacled subject to reveal the silent rage that fueled his work.” —Slant Magazine

TELL THEM ANYTHING YOU WANT: A PORTRAIT OF MAURICE SENDAK by Lance Bangs & Spike Jonze, on the author of “Where The Wild Things Are” reflects on his creative life, success, and frustrations. Includes interviews with his recognizable friends: Spike Jonze, Catherine Keener, James Gandolfini, Meryl Streep and Tony Kushner.

“It is remarkable that Bangs and Jonze fit such a large amount of Sendak’s thought and personal story into a half-hour piece… A truly excellent biographical documentary.” —Tiny Mix Tapes @tinymixtapes

“A gut-wrenching glimpse of the brutal realities

“A gut-wrenching glimpse of the brutal realities of life and death on the Eastern front in Ukraine’s fight to keep back Russian invaders. Among the early documentaries emerging from this brutal war, it is likely to stand the test of time.” —Modern Times Review

EASTERN FRONT by Vitaly Mansky and Yevhen Titarenko follows Yevhen who, together with his friends, volunteer to join the first aid squad on the front line. They provided life-saving support and evacuation of the wounded. This film reveals the experiences of these young men for six months full of drama, despair, fear, hatred, bitterness, love, and faith in victory.

This film joins OVID’s growing collection of Mansky’s documentaries, including GORBACHEV. HEAVEN, PUTIN’S WITNESSES, and CLOSE RELATIONS (RODNYE).

“Unflinching in its depiction of violence and the horrors of war.” —KinoKultura @kinokulturfuerdieschule

In memory of Franz Hinkelammert (1931-2023), a German-born Costa Rican theologian and economist. An advocate of liberation theology and nonviolent solutions to economic exploitation, Hinkelammert worked at the Catholic University of Chile during the socialist government of Salvador Allende, where there was a theological battle between the left-wing liberation theologians and the right-wing Opus Dei Catholics who decried Allende as a godless communist. After the Nixon-Pinochet coup d’etat, he moved to Costa Rica, where he co-founded the influential Departamento Ecuménico de Investigaciones in Sabanilla.

Jim Finn's documentary SUNDAY SCHOOL WITH FRANZ HINKELAMMERT is based on Hinkelammert's research.

“A merciless and hilarious interrogation of who decides which works of art end up in the museum’s gallery and why.” @slantmagazine

In WHITE BALLS ON WALLS, filmmaker Sarah Vos follows Rein Wolfs, director of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, as he and his team strive for diversity in the collections as well as the staff, which proves to be more difficult than anticipated.

“Kudos to the Stedelijk for opening itself up to such firsthand scrutiny and to Vos for spotlighting such a vastly relevant topic in a way that’s both insightful and entertaining.” @latimes

“A coming-of-age story that conjures an effortless naturalism.” —Film Comment

Winner of the Grand Prix at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, THE WONDERS follows a family of Tuscan beekeepers who find their idyll interrupted by the arrival of a troubled teenage boy, after their daughter enters a competition to appear on a television show. Starring Maria Alexandra Lungu, Sam Louwyck, Alba Rohrwacher, Sabine Timoteo and Monica Bellucci.

“Like a rural Fellini, Rohrwacher mixes the mundane with the absurd to create a sometimes fabulous tale that always feels palpably real.” —Slant Magazine

Check out OVID's Twin Seas Media collection and make good use of their discount offer! Highlights include UNCLE HOWARD by Aaron Brookner with Elaine Brookner, William S. Burroughs, Sara Driver, John Giorno, Tom DiCillo, Jim Jarmusch, Madonna, and Robert Wilson, a tender tale about New York filmmaker Howard Brookner who died of AIDS in 1989 while making his breakthrough Hollywood movie. His body of work, which captured the late 70s and early 80s cultural revolution, was buried in Burroughs’ bunker for 30 years. His nephew Aaron unearths Howard's filmmaking legacy and his memory. Also recently added to the collection: PONY BOYS by Eric Stange about two boys from Massachusetts who hitch their pet Shetland pony King to a cart and drive 350 miles to Expo ’67 in Montreal — the largest World’s Fair. Plus, NIXON’S REVERSAL by Jenny Alexander and James Rutenbeck about how close Nixon came to providing guaranteed basic income for all Americans (couple this with Alexander’s A CALL TO ACTION: THE FREEDOM BUDGET OF 1966 on Martin Luther King and guaranteed income). Plus RAISING THE FLOOR by Sabrina Avilés about the city of Chelsea, Massachusetts, which quickly became a COVID hot spot as the community came together alongside the National Guard to distribute food boxes throughout the city. And of course – there’s more!
