The first film in the series, airing on April 25 at 6:30 pm, is Nadie es Innocente (1986), directed by Sarah Minter.

Other films in the series include Jubilee (1978), Young Soul Rebels (1991), Bikutsi Water Blues (1988), Arada (2018), Kutya éju dala (The Dog’s Night Song) (1983), and Wild Zero (1999). A full schedule of screenings can be found here.
