Still from 'Kinds of Kindness' by Yorgos Lanthimos
Iranian-Danish filmmaker Ali Abbasi, best known for his 2022 film Holy Spider, has attracted attention outside of the major studio titles for his Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice, which stars Sebastian Stan as the real-estate businessman in the 1970s to 1980s. International films delve into varying genres: from Karim Ainouz’s thriller Motel Destino, Sean Baker’s American drama Anora to Danish director Magnus von Horn’s The Girl With the Needle, a chilling dark drama. Kirill Serebrennikov’s Limonov: The Ballad presents an adaptation of the radical Soviet poet.
This year also sees the new film category ‘Immersive Competition’, which celebrates and showcases advancing technologies and new art forms that move beyond traditional 2D cinema.
