I Had a Life
Jesús arrives at a housing and employment reincorporation center, after living on the streets for a decade. Now Jesús’ life is full of rules. His struggle doesn’t make sense if he is not free to make his own decisions. After years of depending on social services he leaves the program with all of the risks this decision entails. Elena, the coordinator of the supervised accommodation, is writing her thesis on the reincorporation of homeless people. When Jesús leaves, her research takes a turn and she focuses her thesis on Jesús’ life story. Elena becomes his only emotional support. A brave documentary that seeks to provide a humanist view, an anthropological, non-paternalistic approach to human bodies that at some point are detached from the social body, and a profound interrogation of social normalcy, prejudice, and stigmatization that renders people invisible.

The Fatal Flaw: Lies, Laws, & Pro-life Deception
This is The Fatal Flaw. This is a film and exposé that demonstrates the real reason abortion is still legal in the United States during and after Roe v. Wade. The Pro-life movement claims to believe that they believe that what is in the womb is fully human and worthy of protection. However, they do not believe that the child deserves equal protection. In this new film, you will learn why they have worked to stop the abolition of abortion. You will hear it yourself. From their own mouths with confidence. They don't believe what the Christian Church believes about the issue. It isn't a difference in strategy. It's a different worldview. It's a different desired outcome. Get ready to see for yourself.
MOVIE
Personal Life of a Hole
A hole gapes in a house wall. A small flaw, something imperfect that we seldom consciously direct our attention to. Filmmaker Ondřej Vavrečka finds holes in every corner. His focus is on the imperfections of human existence. A hole can also mean an uncertain future, or an empty stomach. The gap that partners leave behind after a breakup. Ondřej Vavrečka does not only deal with visible holes. He looks at the incomplete from a philosophical perspective. He also lets a nuclear physicist, a theologian and an ethnologist have their say. He underscores their thoughts and theses with absurd everyday scenes: a woman with a chair on her head or an invisible skier. These scenes combine with interviews, sounds and stop-motion sequences to create a playful collage.
