The World on Your Screen

At any moment, Ventana highlights a feature that embodies the spirit of world cinema. This section is updated monthly, featuring films that provoke, enchant, and linger long after the credits roll.

Watch the Spotlight

Accattone

Pasolini's first film is a painfully realistic study of a pimp in Rome. Vittorio Accattone has never worked a day in his life, and has apparently made a good living prostituting his female companion, Maddalena. But her arrest begins his decline; hungry, he begs from churches and even visits his estranged wife and son. When Stella, a lovely and unbelievably innocent peasant worker, enters his life, Accattone tries to find a way, honest or not, to bring back good fortune.

IRANgeles

A Frat boy from Kansas moves to Los Angeles, falls in love with a Persian girl and gets sucked into the zany world of Iranian-American culture.

Phaedra

A retelling of the Greek myth of Phaedra. In modern Greece, Alexis's father, an extremely wealthy shipping magnate, marries the younger, fiery Phaedra. When Alexis meets his stepmother, sparks fly and the two begin an affair. What will the Fates bring this family? Alexis's roadster and the music of Bach figure in the conclusion.

Simon of the Desert

Directed by Luis Buñuel, this surreal, darkly comic parable follows Simon, a 4th-century ascetic saint who chooses to live atop a pillar in the desert, devoting himself to prayer and denial of earthly pleasures. But his resolve is constantly tested by the Devil, who appears in many forms to tempt and taunt him. Blending biting satire with spiritual allegory, Simon of the Desert is a sharp, inventive meditation on faith, hypocrisy, and human weakness from one of cinema’s great provocateurs.

The 10th Victim

In the 21st Century, where a human vs. human "Big Hunt" is used as an alternative to war, a veteran huntress agrees to kill a "victim" to get a major TV sponsorship deal, but romantic entanglements between the two complicate matters.

Hail Mary

There has never been a football team like the Maine Lobsters! There will never be again! In an act of desperation, the coach of The Maine Lobsters, a pro football team that has lost 32 games in a row, travels to Japan to buy a school of sumo wrestlers. His intention' To bring the humongous wrestlers back to Portland to replace his inept offensive line.

The Navigator - A Medieval Odyssey

Men seeking relief from the Black Death, guided by a boy's vision, dig a tunnel from 14th century England to 20th century New Zealand.

All or Nothing: A Moscow Detour

In All or Nothing: A Moscow Detour, Gabrielle Bloch travels from New York to Moscow to film her father, Alexander, who once promised to return home – but whose temporary work posting in Russia may now be a lifetime. As she chronicles his daily life within the Russian oil industry, what begins as a hopeful reunion evolves into a quietly hilarious – and deeply human – exploration of family dynamics, identity, and life untethered. Directed and written by Gabrielle Bloch, this engaging documentary blends comedic moments with sincere emotion and cultural insight, creating an unscripted portrait that’s as truthful as it is moving.
