#thursdaypremiere w. 39

We are heading towards the last weekend in September, but first its Thursday and new movies in Viddla!

A giraffe is dying of sadness in the West Bank and veterinarian Yacine and his ten-year-old son Ziad understand that the only way to save the giraffe is to give him some company. Of course, the only potential company lives on the other side of the wall. You can see how this goes in the drama Giraffada.

I Det vita folket Alex is caught on the street outside the grocery store and is taken to an underground place that looks like a prison but is not called a prison. People are locked in there when they wait for deportation. From the second Alex arrives she is determined to escape.

In Cutie and the Boxer we follow the artist Ushio "boxing artist" Shinohara and his wife Noriko, and take part in their chaotic and loving marriage that has lasted for over 40 years.

"In his long-film debut, Yann Demange makes a skilled genre mix of social drama, war movie and nail-biting thriller," writes Michael Tapper in Sydsvenskan about the film 71.

Happy movie weekend!
