New Releases

Winner of the FIPRESCI Critic's Prize in the Forum section at last year's Berlin International Film Festival, Anna Cornudella's The Human Hibernation is an enthralling debut that seamlessly synthesizes dystopian sci-fi with stark realism to spin a meditative piece of speculative fiction.

Following a fiercely independent woman navigating the day-to-day chaos of connection and creative ambition, Ramona is a refreshingly raw, funny, and poignant story that evokes the energy of the classic Nouvelle Vague film movement through a distinctly contemporary voice.

The stage is the long-established Japanese Inn Fujiya in Kibune, Kyoto. Mikoto, (played by Riko Fujitani) a waitress who works at Fujiya, is called back to work by the proprietress while standing by the Kibune River. However, two minutes later, for some reason, she finds herself once again facing the Kibune River. Not only Mikoto, but also the clerk, waitresses, chefs, and guests all begin to feel something strange. Hot sake that doesn't get hot. Rice porridge that won't go away. A bathroom that you can never leave. They are looping. Every 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, time rewinds and everyone returns to where they were, though their memories continue. Some want to get out of the loop, others want to stay, yet they all have issues they need to solve. While watching everyone join forces to investigate the cause, Mikoto finds herself more and more alone.

On a calm winter’s day in Kibune, Kyoto, a mountain inn and its staff all find themselves trapped in a time loop.

The one-hundred-year-old Fujiya inn stands in the quiet region of Kyoto. Mikoto is standing in front of the Kibune river at the back of the building when she is called back to work. But two minutes later, she finds herself back at the river again. The whole inn seems to be stuck in a time loop!
