Subtitled Tuesday: 'On the Other Side' and 'Rams'
On March 22nd our regular screening program 'Subtitled Tuesday' (with English subtitles included) will present a Croatian film 'On the Other Side' (orig. Croatian title: 'S one strane') at 7 pm and Icelandic film 'Rams' (orig. title: Hrútar; Croatian title: 'Ovnovi') at 8:40 pm.
'On the Other Side', Ogresta's seventh full-lenfth feature film, is an intense psychological drama about a nurse named Vesna who twenty years ago, with her children, moved to Zagreb, running from events that nearly destroyed their lives. Ogresta is one of Croatia’s most pivotal, multiple award-winning directors, and is known for his intimate-psychological perspective and a refined directorial style. 'On the Other Side' premiered at 2016 Berlin International Film Festival, where it won a Special mention by Europa Cinemas jury.
Grímur Hákonarson's 'Rams', "a marvel of deadpan comedy" (The Wall Street Journal), premiered at the Un Certain Regard section of the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, where it won a Grand Prix. Set in a remote farming valley, the story follows who estranged brothers who must come together to save what's dearest to them - their sheep. In a warm and subtle way, the film depicts the deeply rooted rural culture which is inextricably connected with the Icelandic national spirit. 'Rams' was selected as the Icelandic entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards.
