    ACADEMY AWARD BEST PICTURE, BEST ACTRESS, BEST INTERNATIONAL FEATURE NOMINEE!

    Rio de Janeiro, early 1970s. Brazil faces the tightening grip of a military dictatorship. We are introduced to the Paivas: a father, Rubens; a mother, Eunice; and their five children. They live by the beach, in a rented house with doors constantly open to friends. The affection and humor they share among themselves are their own subtle forms of resistance to the oppression that hangs over the country. One day, they suffer a violent and arbitrary act that will forever change their lives. In the aftermath, Eunice is forced to reinvent herself and carve out a new future for herself and her children. Carried along by Fernanda Torres' superb performance, I'M STILL HERE poignantly explores a nation's upheaval through one family's search for answers.

    ACADEMY AWARD BEST INTERNATIONAL FEATURE NOMINEE!

    Shot entirely in secret, Mohammad Rasoulof's riveting, award-winning thriller, THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG, centers on a family thrust into the public eye when Iman is appointed as an investigating judge in Tehran. As political unrest erupts in the streets, Iman realizes that his job is even more dangerous than expected, making him increasingly paranoid and distrustful, even of his own wife Najmeh and daughters Sana and Rezvan. A searing indictment of oppressive rule, whether it be of a nation or in a household, THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG functions both as compelling drama and powerful political statement.
