OFFICIAL SELECTION - 
2024 CANNES INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

A new film from Academy Award-winner Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty, Youth, The New Pope) is always an event to celebrate, and PARTHENOPE – his visually and aurally stunning, decades-spanning romantic drama about a Neapolitan woman’s search for happiness and fulfilment - is no exception.

An intoxicating and complex reflection on the way people see themselves and others, Sorrentino’s film provocatively shifts between the sacred and the profane. With gasp-worthy visuals from award-winning cinematographer Daria D’Antonio (The Hand Of God), fashion design by Saint Laurent, and a perfectly pitched soundscape, PARTHENOPE does for Naples, Capri and the Amalfi Coast what The Great Beauty did for Rome. It’s a spectacular and immersive experience.

“Ravishing. What a world Paolo Sorrentino creates. A work of casual mastery; it’s great and it’s beautiful. - Steve Pond - THE WRAP

In Italian with English subtitles. (MA) 136 mins

One of the most important films of the year — winner of both the ‘Best Documentary’ and ‘Audience’ awards at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival — NO OTHER LAND is a sobering yet inspiring tale of Palestinian resistance under occupation.

Basel Adra is a young Palestinian activist and lawyer from Masafer Yatta, a group of Palestinian villages in the southern West Bank.

Yuval Abraham, an Israeli investigative journalist, lives a starkly different life to Adra.

Striking up an unlikely friendship, the two commit themselves to documenting and protesting the demolition of Palestinian communities in the West Bank with the help of an Israeli-Palestinian filmmaking collective.

A front-runner for the Best Documentary Oscar and audience award winner at numerous festivals worldwide, NO OTHER LAND is a vital and inspiring testament to the resilience of the Palestinian people.

In Arabic, Hebrew & English with subtitles (MA) 96 mins.
