Alvaro Brechner’s A Twelve Year Night, which presents the story of three prisoners who were brutally tortured during the military regime in Uruguay, the French film 120 BPM, The Bra by German Director-Producer Viet Helmer, and Bakhtyar Khudojnazarov’s restored film Bratan, will be screened in the Jury Section.

The Bra presents the story of a lonely train driver who finds a bra on his train and walks along the track to look for the owner. The film, which won the audience’s favour in festivals like Tokyo, Berlin, and Germany, has used the possibilities of silence. The section also features a remastered version of Bratan, which tells the story of brothers who embark on an adventure to the Afghan border to meet their father.

Robin Campillo’s 120 BPM, which was selected as the best film at Cannes, will also be screened in the jury section. Jury member Nahuel Perez Biscayart, who was the hero of the movie, features the story of AIDS activism in Paris in the 1990s.
