Spain. Dir. Eloy Enciso. 2012, 70 mins. DCP. Somewhere between documentary and fable, Arraianos is an unconventional portrait of an old village on the Galicia-Portugal border, where the inhabitants live and work in a quiet routine. Alternating with real moments of daily village life—with scenes of farming, drinking in the local bar, and singing traditional songs—are dramatizations from a foreboding play by the Galician writer Jenaro Marinhas del Valle, and swirling rumors that a new, unwelcome world may be pressing its way through the immense surrounding forest...

Birds (Zwazo)

Portugal. Dir. Gabriel Abrantes. 2012, 17 mins. DCP. Three Haitian girls make their way through the vegetation and colonial ruins of Jakmel, arriving at the town square to find a local production of Aristophanes’s Birds.
