This year’s program includes the screening of the much-talked-about film “ANORA” by Sean Baker, which won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and is expected to be distinguished at the upcoming Oscars.

“ANORA” is anticipated to captivate the audience with its authentic approach. The film explores American culture, bringing to the forefront characters from the margins of society, a characteristic trait of Baker’s creations. Combining social inequalities and a unique love story, the director conveys the narrative with a strong sense of realism.
