One Time Only program, 2021

Petty thief, writer, and failed filmmaker Antonin, who lives in a friend’s car, is striving to understand himself by meeting with five women—his sister Solveig, wife Eglantine, love interest Cassiopée, tax inspector Rose, and theology student Aurore, from whom he stole a laptop. Canadian chameleon-director Denis Côté continues to freely experiment with form, making a witty comedy about distance, relationships, and alienation this time around, whereby the present-day shifts into an indefinite, abstract past, nature turns into a stage, and impressionist cinematography merges with theatrical convention. Premiered internationally at this year’s Berlinale, Social Hygiene shared its Best Director award in the Encounters competition. Garage Screen summer cinema presents the Russian premiere.

Following the death of her father, who provided for the family, young stylist Leo (the director Amalia Ulman) and her kleptomaniac mother-hex Maria (played by Ulman’s mother Ale) are trying to avoid eviction from an apartment in the Spanish city of Gijón. Despite impressive debts for public services, the two stoically maintain a bourgeois façade, continuing to order pastry delivery, attending beauty treatments, and renting dresses and shoes. Argentine artist Amalia Ulman’s feature-length debut is a tragicomic and empathetic portrait of today’s twenty-year-olds, premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. Garage Screen summer cinema presents the Russian premiere.

Mara and Lisa are old friends and former flatmates in Berlin. Their life under the same roof is coming to an end: Lisa is moving into a new flat and leaving Mara in their once shared space—perhaps, leaving her in the past. The second film by Swiss directors Ramon and Silvan Zurcher is a low-key yet poignant picture about the daily inner disasters that remain unseen to the eye and barely audible. The picture shared the Best Director prize in the Encounters program and received a FIPRESCI prize at the Berlin International Film Festival 2021.

They meet again, this time in the evening, and, instantly falling in love, arrange the next date without ever learning each other’s names.
