Polish filmmaker Aga Woszczyńska – together with co-writer Piotr Litwin – started to work on the script of her first feature film “Silent Land” in 2016, and notes that since then, her film – which centers on the world’s response to migrants – has sadly become even more timely.

Set in Italy, the slow-burning drama sees a couple whose summer holiday goes terribly wrong when Rahim (Ibrahim Keshk), an illegal immigrant hired to fix the pool in the house they paid for, suddenly dies. But Woszczyńska views her film as a humanistic rather than a political statement.

“I don’t want to blame just Italy, but the whole of Europe. The whole world, which stays silent,” she tells Variety.

In the realm of failed art exists a select category of cinema so terribly conceived those deserving of its distinction are worthy of timeless praise. While there are generally celebrated and beloved camp classics, one obscure behemoth of softcore exploitative Eurotrash is Jean-Marie Pallardy’s 1984 gem White Fire.

Filmed in Istanbul and set, for unknown reasons in a futuristic Fascistic Turkey, diamond smugglers, plastic surgery, switched identities, a gigantic radioactive diamond, a lesbian utopia and Fred Williamson are all lavish distractions for a disturbing incest narrative all set to an addictive vintage title track from the band Limelight.

Two children who witnessed their parents murdered in front of their eyes become jewel thieves twenty years later in Istanbul while under the tutelage of their savior, Sam (Jess Hahn).…...
