TFF - Whistle + Short Film (CTC)
Unsurprisingly, whistling as a competitive sport attracts an eccentric crowd - among them an anxious New York actress, a fiercely ambitious Spanish competitor, a perpetual runner-up Japanese muso and a piping pop star. Wrangling this multifarious mob, is ‘Whistling Diva' producer Carole Anne Kaufman, a contentious figure, who's on a mission to elevate the artform and the competition. Directed by Christopher Nelius (Girls Can't Surf, SFF 2021) and produced by the Oscar-nominated team behind Porcelain War (SFF 2024), this highly entertaining documentary in the tradition of Best in Show and The Golden Spurtle, celebrates persistence and lip-pursing talent as it captures the highs and lows of competitive musical whistling.
TFF - Silent Friend + Short Film (UNCL 15+)
A mighty gingko tree in a German university town bears silent witness to the lives of three characters over more than a century. In 1908, a bright botanist (Luna Wedler, Best Young Actress, Venice 2025) forges a challenging path as the first female student accepted by the male-dominated institution. In 1972, two classmates bond over a geranium in politically charged times. And in 2020, a lonely visiting neuroscientist (Leung Chiu-wai), stuck on campus, seeks meaning from the tree's electromagnetic signals under the guidance of a French biologist (Seydoux). Oscar-nominated SFF regular Ildikó Enyedi returns in resplendent form with this perceptive exploration of humanity's deep-rooted connection with nature.
TFF - Minotaur (UNCL 18+)
Russia 2022. Successful businessman Gleb (Dmitriy Mazurov) lives in a beautiful waterfront home with his wife Galina (Iris Lebedeva) and their young son. Though politically connected, Gleb is not immune from the radical changes in Russian society and finds himself under extreme pressure to quell panic and keep his company running. Galina meanwhile feels the constant pressure of having to be the perfect wife and mother. When he begins to suspect that Galina is having an affair, the usually considered Gleb makes a fateful decision that will threaten emotional and moral collapse. A Golden Lion winner at Venice for The Return (SFF 2004) and a frequent prize winner at Cannes, Zvyaginstev (Leviathan, Loveless, Elena) is the great cinematic chronicler of Russian society over the last two decades. Here, once again working with cinematographer Mikhail Krichman whose crisp imagery is as effective as ever, he offers a searing portrait of a family and a society in existential peril. At the height of his considerable powers, Zvyangintsev has characteristically made a film that's urgent, complex and provocative.
TFF - No Good Men + Short Film (UNCL 15+)
In this sparkling political romantic comedy from Afghanistan, a camerawoman disillusioned with love is surprised to find herself drawn to the country's leading journalist. Directed by and starring Shahrbanoo Sadat (Wolf and Sheep, SFF 2017) No Good Men is set in Kabul in the time leading up to the Taliban's return to power in 2021. In this period of great political uncertainty and peril, Naru (Sadat) the sole camerawoman at Kabul's main TV station must deal with a personal crisis. Having left her cheating, abusive husband, she struggles against the odds to gain custody of her young son. Add to that the sexism Naru endures in the workplace and in the course of her duties, it is little wonder she feels strongly that there are "no good men" left in Afghanistan. When she is diverted to a serious news story, rather than the 'female content' usually foisted upon her, she works with Qodrat (Anwar Hashimi), Kabul TV's top journalist. While their initial interactions are guarded, the two soon find in each other something alluring. But the backdrop is anything but romantic as the Taliban encroach, and it seems the window of freedom for journalists, women and civil society is about to be sharply shut. Adeptly playing with rom-com conventions, while conveying the sheer terror of a society on the brink of tumult, Sadat has made a film as daring as it is delightful.
TFF - La Bola Negra (UNCL 18+)
Set across three time periods (1932, 1937, and 2017), La Bola Negra (The Black Ball) opens in 1937 during the rise of fascism in Spain. We follow Sebastián, whose village is destroyed before he is conscripted into the fascist army, where he forms a bond with an enemy prisoner. In the second story, set five years earlier, a young scion is black-balled and denied entry into his father's social club because of rumours about his sexuality. And in the third instalment, set 85 years later, gay historian Alberto is informed he has inherited something from a grandfather he never knew. These three separate stories connect in unexpected ways in this extremely clever and well-constructed film. The images, meticulous and inventively composed, are unforgettable. With extraordinary performances by the ensemble - featuring Penelope Cruz, Glenn Close and Julio Torres in supporting roles - this sensual drama brings its multiple storylines together to deliver a deeply moving emotional climax. Directors Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, known by their directing moniker Los Javis and for their hit series Veneno, arrive instantly to the world stage as directors of great repute with this magnificent, daring and romantic work.
TFF - The Cycle of Love (UNCL 15+)
In Delhi, 1975, young street artist PK meets Lotta, who is visiting from Sweden, and paints her portrait. Convinced she is the love foretold to him in his youth, PK sets out on an extraordinary journey, attempting to cycle across continents to find her again. Director Orlando von Einsiedel (Virunga) brings the suspenseful story to life through carefully crafted reenactments and tender interviews with PK and Lotta today, fifty years after they first met. This documentary tells a remarkable true story of devotion and endurance.
TFF - Fjord (UNCL 15+)
Romanian-Norwegian couple the Gheorghius, Mihai (a virtually unrecognisable Stan, A Different Man, TFF 2024) and Lisbet (Reinsve, Sentimental Value, SFF 2025), are devoutly Christian and relocate from Romania to a Norwegian village set in a fjord to be closer to Lisbet's family. Together with their five children, including an infant, they settle into their new environment and make friends with their neighbours. Their older daughter Elia, in particular, becomes close to rebellious teen Noora. When Elia turns up at school with some bruises on her body, it triggers an investigation into her parents and their conservative parenting methods, soon escalating into a full-blown crisis in the village and far beyond. Mungiu, who won the Cannes Palme d'Or for 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days in 2007, and prizes for Beyond the Hills (SFF 2013) and Graduation (SFF 2017), is masterful in posing searing moral questions, placing his characters in complex situations. With Fjord, a vehicle for incredible performances by Stan and Reinsve, he challenges the audience to contemplate the limits of secular contemporary societies in dealing with minorities and, as always, poses resonant ethical questions.
TFF - Bitter Christmas (UNCL 15+)
Film Text Set across two intertwined timelines, Pedro Almodóvar's latest Cannes Competition selection follows Elsa, a filmmaker battling creative block, and Raúl, the writer struggling to finish her story. When a personal tragedy in the life of someone close to him becomes material for his screenplay, Raúl is forced to confront the uneasy relationship between art and lived experience. Echoing the autobiographical themes of Pain and Glory, this vibrant, playful film-within-a-film is elevated by standout performances from Bárbara Lennie and Leonardo Sbaraglia, and a sumptuous score by longtime collaborator Alberto Iglesias.
