- Planting a tree has a simple and direct objective. Whoever complies with it will be able to see it grow and then enjoy its shadow. You will enjoy its perfume and the song of the birds sheltered in its branches. An ineffective and authoritarian regime will not tolerate what is done without express consent, not even in the case of beautiful and productive acts, to hold onto power beyond all reason. A tree roots and thrives to flourish. And eventually, even when the visible is torn away, its essence will find a way to overcome it to last.
- Sobering tale about the small-time loser Santiago, who roams the streets of a Spanish town after leaving his wife and children looking for ground under his feet. There only seems to be one way out for him. Surprising, Dardennesque debut by producer Serrano. Somewhere in a Spanish city, Santiago (in his 30s and played by the Mexican painter Bosco Sodi) roams aimlessly and lonely through the streets. His wife has thrown him out and the judge has decided that he cannot see his children for now. Santiago tries to put his life back together again from this unfortunate situation. He has a job in a friend's bar, but is given the sack. Little by little, his life falls apart. The camera (impressive work by David Valdeperez) follows him roaming the streets looking for work and for an aim in life. His only way out seems to be the highest bridge in the city... Scriptwriter and novice director Carlos Serrano Azcona (1969) previously worked on "Japon" by Carlos Reygadas, who is co-producer this time, as is the Spaniard Jaime Rosales, director of e.g. "Bullet in the Head". The form and style of "The Tree" were partly inspired by the work of the Dardenne Brothers, but Serrano Azcona was also influenced by the possibilities of modern video cameras, as previously revealed by Albert Serra ("Honour of the Knights") and Rafa Cortes ("Yo"). The result is a dynamic yet restrained and contemplative film. The Tree opens the eyes of the viewer to everyday despair and existential hope, culminating in a climax that has to be seen to be 'believed'. (ID/GT)
- In front of María's house (67) and Julio (69), there are two acacias, very old. Their branches are connected and they seem to form a single glass. One of them has the whole appearance of being dry. When it arrives the spring and they grow green, it is not possible to distinguish if the grown leaves are of one or of the two trees. María and Julio discuss: she believes that it is dry and that it is necessary to throw it below; she fears that it can fall on somebody. He doubts and believes that it is not still died, and he waters it, like in an act of faith. Julio planted that acacia when one of his children was born and it is not he easy to admit what María says. Connected with this conflict the life of two characters it is knitted in a house of more than a hundred years. The visit of some neighbor, a party, the memories and the ghosts, the rain and the dreams, the stocks reiterated day by day, the stations, the variations of the lights and of the shades, they build the plot, so that everything, silent and irreversibly, speak to us of the step of the time.

He tells me this on the way to the polling station.Matías tells me that he would like to vote YES in the plebiscite for the peace agreement with the FARC-EP guerrillas, because the war killed his great-grandfather. We never met him. We traveled to our father's hometown, Chaparral, with my father and one of his sisters. Memories, a happy childhood in the countryside as a hard-working and humble peasant family. Peace ends when the war catches up with them.They flee the farm. And one day, my grandfather Daniel is killed in front of his son Jose (11 years old by then). Drawings of fear and horror. How to tell a child what war is? how unjust it is. After my grandfather's death, the family had to separate and everyone had to look for a new life, leaving their village behind. The women worked as house maids. The brothers got ahead with a lot of determination, had their children and gave them what they could. Only Libardo, my father, went to school. He was two years old when my grandfather was killed, so he has no memory of him. Guns have attracted some of the men in the family. Two of my cousins went to jail for murder. One of them was killed in October 2016.Four years ago, my cousin's son was wounded in combat by the paramilitaries, who recruited him when he was only 15 years old. Now he is also the father of two children. What kind of life will he want for them? The attraction of children and adolescents to guns is everywhere. Revenge for the loss of a family member, hunger for recognition or just to be part of something easily leads them down that path. I would like my son, or any son, to understand that guns only bring pain and loss. May the paths not be repeated. Like my father, who managed to build a different life. Thanks to that, my brother and I have had a different life. That is the hope that can illuminate my son's life, and that of all the children in Colombia.

- Testing the boundaries between anthropology, documentary and reverie, the film is a mesmerizing cinematic poem that portrays with rigorous restraint the final sigh of one of Cuba's last fishing villages. Besides the introductory sequence, the film was entirely shot in the remote hamlet of Juan Antonio, only weeks before it disappeared at the hands of a hurricane. Located where Columbus first set anchor in his 1492 discovery of the New World, the village hosted a singular fishing community, where traits and habits of the Taìno indigenous population had survived and mixed with those of the Spanish colonizers. The film primarily focuses on the daily routines of two families, Silva Ocampo and Silva Vidal, while they prepare for Children's Day and the next day's fishing expedition. Their ingeniousness and resilience, as well as their playful and irreverent attitude toward the filmmaker, provide a continuous source of reflection and amusement. The filmmaker's initial prominence slowly fades through the course of the film, leaving space to the tension between the village and its ultimate fate. Through a candid observation of the villagers and of the peculiar relationship that develops between them and the filmmaker, the film renders a sensitive portrait of a unique culture into a meditation on documentary filmmaking and on humanity on the edge of time.
