1.Women in Sink / 2015 / Dir: Iris Zaki / 38 min / March 7 / 5:30 pm
In a little hair salon owned by a Christian Arab in Haifa, Israel, the director installs a minimalist film set over the washing-basin, where she chats with the clients she is shampooing. She thus paints an unexpected choral portrait of this space that provides temporary freedom, where Arab and Jewish women share their differences and a community of views on politics, history and love.
7 wins & 5 nominations.
2. Amy / 2015 /Dir: Asif Kapadia / 128 min / March 7 / 6:30 pm
From BAFTA award-winning director Asif Kapadia (Senna), AMY tells the incredible story of six-time Grammy-winner Amy Winehouse – in her own words. Featuring extensive unseen archive footage and previously unheard tracks, this strikingly modern, moving and vital film shines a light on the world we live in, in a way that very few can.
Won 1 Oscar. Another 50 wins & 44 nominations.
3.Salma / 2013 / Dir: Kim Longinotto / 91 min / March 8 / 6:00 pm
Millions of young girls endure the same fate, but Salma refused to let the long years of imprisonment break her spirit. Using hoarded scrap paper, she managed to smuggle out poems that expressed her hidden anger and pain.These poems scandalized her community but inspired readers all over South India. 25 years later, Salma’s brave defiance is a beacon of hope.
2 nominations.
