Truth and memory

VERGOT

Cecilia Bozza Wolf

Italy / 2016 / 60'

Two brothers, an exuberant father and an invisible but present mother. A peasant family in an alpine valley traversed by apple orchards and vineyards, where everyone speaks a coarse heavy dialect. The 19-year-old Gim has discovered he is homosexual, but the world surrounding him is unable to accept this, starting from his father, not by chance known as “the wolf”. His older brother Alex on the one hand urges Gim not to feel sorry for himself and to overcome his fears, and on the other tries to continue the traditions of his father.

THE LITTLE DICTATOR

Nurith Cohn

Israel / 2015 / 29'

Yossi Kleinmann, a history professor keen on political leaders of totalitarian regimes, feels misunterstood both by his students and his despotic wife. During a weekend, at the party for the 90th birthday of his wife's grandmother, who survived the holocaust, Yossi finds himself in a surreal situation which forces him to come face to face with himself and his family.
