Director: Luis Piedrahita, Rodrigo Sopeña
Runtime: 88 min
Synopsis:
This is a variation on the locked-room idea, a scaled down version of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. Four bright sparks - three mathematicians and an engineer - find themselves invited to a lonely house in an isolated part of the country; before they know it, they are locked in, and their invisible host is sending them intellectual brain-teasers by mobile phone. They have 60 seconds to get each one right; if they don't, the walls are slowly forced inwards by a gigantic hydraulic press.(Guardian)

Film: **Salaam Bombay(1988)**
Director: Mira Nair
Language: Hindi
Description:
Mira Nair´s movie debut (after a few short films) is about a side of Bombay that Hindi cinema has rarely ever explored. Before "Salaam Bombay!” the seedy and dark underbelly of the city had mostly been portrayed in the regular masala manner leaving audiences detached to what was happening onscreen. The image of Bombay (or Mumbai as it now likes to be known) is realistically portrayed and Nair went to extreme lengths to ensure that the real throb of the city came across, that it did not seem like a caricature. Real-life poor children living on the streets were cast in important roles thus giving them a big break. They were very excited but, of course, they were not natural actors. They acted the way they had learnt only off Bollywood potboilers with exaggerated mannerisms and over-the-top gestures. It was Nair who encouraged the small actors to allow their natural side to emerge and to embrace realistic gestures rather than overblown ones.

Language: German
Run Time: 128 min
Venue: IDC Auditorium
Time: 9:30 P.M.
Synopsis
This Wim Wenders film centers around the story of two angels wandering in a mixture of post-war and modern Berlin. Invisible to humans, they nevertheless give their help and comfort to all the lonely and depressed souls they meet. Finally, after many centuries, one of the angels becomes unhappy with his immortal state and wishes to become human in order to experience the joys of everyday life. He meets a circus acrobat and finds in her the fufillment of all his mortal desires. He also discovers that he is not alone in making this cross over, and that a purely spiritual experience is not enough to satisfy anyone.
More:
Some criticisms
“How much Eurobabble are you willing to endure in exchange for a look at one of the cinema's most ravishing and compassionate screen visions?”
“a film of sheer visual poetry and deep emotional resonance”
“Wings of Desire enthralls me, and it sends me back to my life a richer person, glad to be alive, looking about at the mundane and the everyday with new appreciation.”
