A riveting portrait of modern celebrity, Magnus von Horn’s Sweat strips away the digital veneer to reveal the human cost of influencer culture. Astonishingly embodied by Magdalena Koleśnik in a tenacious performance, this compassionate tale of self-discovery pulses with the energy of a thriller.

Taking inspiration from Pasolini’s La Ricotta, Piotr Szulkin closes his “Apocalyptic Tetralogy” with an anarchic riff on the Passion of Christ. The funniest of the four films, Ga-Ga: Glory to the Heroes is a rich sci-fi allegory that puts the European colonial project in its satirical crosshairs.
