The 18th edition of the Millennium Docs Against Gravity film festival starts on September 3rd. The programme of the festival includes a new section called FACES OF LATIN AMERICA. It features films from countries that are much discussed (Chile or Venezuela), as well as stories from less frequented corners of the world, such as Paraguay. What emerges from them is a picture of a sunny continent with a complicated past - and an equally complicated present.
In preparation for the festival we encourage you to watch the VOD.MDAG.PL films with which you can start your journey to Latin America. In our catalogue you will find two acclaimed feature films by renowned Latin American directors, an engaging and metaphorical portrait of post-colonial, "utopian" Cuba, and a story of a famous Polish traveler who for many years lived in Mexico. You can buy one-time access to the films for PLN 9.50 or buy a pass for several films!
MONOS, dir. Alejandro Landes
In a remote mountaintop setting somewhere in Latin America, a rebel group of teenage commandos bearing noms de guerre like Rambo, Smurf, Bigfoot, Wolf and Boom-Boom perform military training exercises while watching over a prisoner (Julianne Nicholson) and a conscripted milk cow for a shadowy force known only as The Organization. After an ambush drives the squadron into the jungle, fracturing their intricate bond, the mission begins to collapse.
