(Justice knows no border for Hamid (Adam Bessa), who has taken refuge in France after being detained and tortured by the Assad regime in Syria. Exiled and undercover, the mild-mannered literature professor now works as part of a secret group pursuing Assad’s enforcers, who have fled Syria and assumed new identities in Europe – including the guard responsible for inflicting unspeakable abuse upon him. Covertly communicating their life-or-death decrees through a multiplayer video game, the undercover cell operates in broad daylight but wrestles with how far they can push their retribution in a land that only faintly recalls Assad’s atrocities. With his mother now living in a refugee camp in Beirut, Hamid puts on a brave face and extols his new life, but the cracks begin to show as he becomes consumed by the hunt. Hot on the trail of a man at his local university (Tawfeek Barhom) who bears a striking resemblance to his torturer, Hamid is sure that he’s identified the culprit, but can he convince his compatriots that his intuition is dead certain? Sensitively reckoning with recent history, director Jonathan Millet delivers a tense espionage thriller that explores the opaque relationship between justice and vengeance.)

(Colonna‘s astonishing first feature turns the mafia genre on its head, very simply by telling it from the point of view of a 15-year-old girl. When summer begins, Lesia is going to the beach and wrapped up in clandestine meetings with her boyfriend… until she’s suddenly whisked away by a man on a motorbike and taken to the isolated seaside villa where her Corsican crime-boss father is on the lam. It’s a ritual she’s more than familiar with; it’s the story of her life. But this is the summer Lesia’s father opens both his heart and his world to her, and she will never be the same. Co-written with COLCOA/TAFFF veteran writer-director Jeanne Herry (In Safe Hands and All Your Faces), The Kingdom not only lures us into that sinister world, but is simultaneously moving, chilling and complex in its illustration of how the torch is passed in an endless wheel of violence.)
