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

Humanity

A young man who left Africa in pursuit of the American dream, became a victim of police Brutality in America.

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.

Deadly Drifter

A former radical drifter wanders America searching for purpose, caught between memories of the ’60s counterculture and the compromises of modern life. Starring Peter Coyote and featuring an early appearance by Danny Glover, Deadly Drifter is a satirical road drama that blurs the line between fiction and improvisation.

Sun Flower

When Xiangyang was ten years old, his grandmother passed away, and he went to live with his father. Father and son used to be strangers but now they gradually get along very well. In order to make his family lead a better life, the father goes away from home to find work.

The Brother From Another Planet

A mute, alien escapee crash-lands in Harlem, blending in as an ordinary man while hiding extraordinary powers. Joe Morton stars in John Sayles’ inventive, low-budget sci-fi classic, portraying an outsider who observes humanity’s struggles with race, poverty, and community. Both poignant and slyly funny, The Brother from Another Planet uses science fiction to explore real-world issues, making it a thought-provoking cult favorite that remains just as relevant today as it was in the 1980s.

Endless Way

Ah Shui returns with her sister to a remote mountain village in Hunan (Western China) by car(an S.U.V.) and remembers episodes of her life that are related to a water project. Despite being a foggy and sometimes rainy area water is scarce and poverty is omnipresent.

Sandcastle

The story of Sandcastle is every woman's journey, from moth to butterfly, to reach out and find their inner voice. The story of a rebel, breaking out of the cocoon of societal pressure and finding her place in society.

The Killing Machine

Mr Soh, a righteous man with a cold stare and fists of steel, returns to a lawless post-war Japan in 1946. He protects the weak, defends the poor and knocks some good sense into friends and enemies alike. Rapists and gangsters get the worst of it, as Mr Soh builds up his school on the island of Shikoku.
