Fallen Leaves by Aki Kaurismäki (Finland) 81'
Fallen Leaves tells the story of two lonely people (Alma Pöysti and Jussi Vatanen) who meet by chance one night in Helsinki. Both are searching for the first and only love of their lives. But the path to this noble goal is hindered by his alcoholism, lost phone numbers, the fact that the two do not know each other's names and addresses, and life's general tendency to put a spoke in the wheels of those seeking happiness. This delicate tragicomedy, thought to be lost, is the sequel to Aki Kaurismäki's trilogy dedicated to the working class (Shadows in Paradise, Ariel and The Match Girl).

The Teachers‘ Lounge by İlker Çatak (Germany) 98’
WINNER OF THE FILM PRIZE LUX AWARD 2024
The Teachers‘ Lounge by İlker Çatak (Germany) 98’
ÇatakCarla Nowak, a young high school PE and maths teacher, is on her first day at a new school. What sets her apart from her new colleagues is her idealism. However, a series of unsolved thefts spoils the atmosphere among the teachers. When a Turkish student is accused and summoned by the headmistress in a humiliating manner, Carla decides to investigate. Thanks to a hidden camera, to the general astonishment, she unmasks the thief: the discreet secretary Friederike Kuhn. After this revelation, however, Carla is faced with an unsolvable dilemma: Friederike Kuhn is also the mother of her best pupil, Oskar Kuhn. The events she provokes are inexorably beyond her control. On the one hand, she is increasingly isolated from her colleagues. On the other, she has to cope with the psychological stress caused to Oskar, whom the other boys begin to call ‘son of a thief’. The school management has a simple solution in such cases: transfer Oskar to another school. The boy, like his mother now suspended from work, is not intimidated. He contacts the school newspaper to tell the story from his mother's point of view, triggering a heated debate on truth and justice.

Echte Schweizer (True Swiss, Switzerland 2024, 78', subtitled language) documentary, by Luka Popadić
Saâd, Thuruban, Andrija and Luka, are Swiss officers of Serbian, Sri Lankan and Tunisian origin, and have maintained close ties with their culture of origin. Director Luka Popadić explores their lives by unearthing their roots to find their present identity and, with much irony and profound authenticity, offers us a glimpse of contemporary society that questions the concepts of homeland, integration and diversity. Winner of the Audience Award at the
prestigious Solothurn Days, this ingenious and enlightening first film skilfully blends scenes from everyday life, interviews and archive images to offer us a new perspective: not a film about the army (which in Switzerland has more duties than safeguarding and includes three weeks of service per year until the age of 30), but about the richness and uniqueness of a multicultural background.

Bon Schuur Ticino (Buongiorno Ticino, Switzerland, Italy, 2023, 88', language in Italian) comedy, by Peter Luisi
The ‘no bilingualism’ referendum throws Switzerland into a state of emergency. The unexpected outcome of the vote sanctions that the national language will now be French only, and this triggers panic among Swiss-Germans. And at the same time it fuels the nationalist ambitions of the mayor of a small Ticino village. Policeman Walter Egli, who already has his hands full learning French and ensuring the language transition, is therefore sent on a mission to the Italian part of Switzerland with a perfectionist colleague (and magician of disguises) to put down the revolt. A no-holds-barred and hilarious film signed by Peter Luisi, one of the best-loved directors of Swiss Cinema in Venice, which has literally shaken the Hollywood giants by breaking all box-office records in its home country. Exclusively for Cinemoving audiences, the comedy of the year: so crazy that it seems more real than reality!
