'Alles wird gut' is a powerful example of parent-child communication, revealing how children can become unwilling participants in the conflicts between divorced parents. The film also serves as a stark warning about the desperation a parent may feel when they believe their perspective is neither heard nor respected. Its emotional impact and thematic relevance earned it a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film at the 88th Academy Awards.

A taut and effective airplane thriller, following the hijacking of a European commercial flight. Joseph Gordon-Levitt anchors as the first officer, torn between two conflicting roles: the emotional burden of witnessing violence outside his cockpit and the unyielding responsibility to uphold flight safety protocols. This debut from German director Patrick Vollrath bears the stylistic imprint of his mentor, Michael Hanek; the chilling, digital security camera opening credits and the restrained, clinical depiction of violence. Vollrath emphasises not just the physical threats, but the psychological strain on those caught in the crisis. The claustrophobic atmosphere heightens the drama within the cockpit.

For a film themed on trust and sacrifice, director Fede Álvarez, under the influence of Ridley Scott and co., fails to find any slice of originality in this unnecessary revival of the 'Alien' franchise, just under a decade after Ridley Scott's own misfired prequels. Álvarez rehashes and recycles elements from every previous 'Alien' film, believing more is better, while neglecting the need for a single, original gimmick to justify a new instalment. Now a Disney product following the 20th Century Fox acquisition, 'Alien' has entered 'Star Wars'-Marvel territory, where legacy callbacks, fan service, and Rick Dalton pointing memes are abound.

'Former Cult Member Hears Music For The First Time', a short film by Kristoffer Borgli, hilariously critiques the ideals associated with film set etiquette, creative professionalism and pursuing art for art's sake. The short blends both the documentary and fictional form together well, catching viewers off-guard when the inciting incident occurs and keeping its narrative interest of the unfolding circumstance within the film's reality; where the characters, who are somewhat cliches, bump heads with each other, revealing their perspectives on the issue at hand.
