Directed and edited by Esfir Shub. A devastating chronicle of Tsarist Russia from the eve of World War I until its brutal demise in the revolutions of February and October 1917, The Fall of the Romanov Dynasty comprises hundreds of films that Esfir Shub unearthed and rescued from damp cellars and other neglected corners of the Soviet Union, including newsreels and home movies taken by the Tsar’s own cameramen. Using the film splice as a cudgel, Shub contrasts the Imperial Family in opulent ballrooms, regal processions, and garden tea parties with the backbreaking toil of the masses, a bitter satire that makes the Revolution seem both historically inevitable and triumphant. One of the great pleasures of this Vertov retrospective is rediscovering the work of certain largely forgotten women filmmakers of the Soviet avant-garde, including Elizaveta Svilova, Vertov’s editor and wife, and Shub, who pioneered “found footage” cinema and was instrumental in the development of dialectical montage, collaborating with Sergei Eisenstein on the shooting scripts of Strike and Potemkin.

越南导演Le Bao将执导首部剧情长片[尝](Taste，暂译)。影片讲述一名尼日利亚足球运动员在越南踢球养家，后来他的腿断了，不得不寻找其他收入来源。于是他前往一所废弃的房子，和四个中年女性朋友一起住了三天。Wild Bunch将本片描述为“具有毕赣和阿彼察邦·韦拉斯哈古的富有宗教幻觉的传统”。

主人公是一位救生员。一次，他救起了一个飞机失事落水的百万富翁(在影片拍摄的年代里，拥有百万港元就算是大富翁了，现在只能算中产阶级。)。为抢救富翁的性命给他输了自己的血，却令这个富翁白发转黑，年轻许多。后来发现，救生员的血液含有某种长寿因素，但输过他血液的人只能保持很短时间的青春。于是百万富翁绑架了救生员，想让他成为自己的供血机器。救生员经过一番惊险的生死搏斗，最终逃出了虎口。老富翁于愤愤中衰朽而死。左翼电影公司香港长城影业公司出品。
