Animals, philosophy, outsiders, punks and rebels. Strong individuals. Women. Troublemakers. Slow films. Those stills in the programme that give you some kind of intuition that this piece of art belongs in your life. These are some of my picks.

We Are the Best!
Vi är bäst!
Swedish director Lukas Moodysson returns to the subversive high spirits of his earlier Show Me Love, adapting his wife’s graphic novel of 80s schoolgirl misfit friendship – and no-talent punkette attitude.
White God
Fehér isten
Hungarian director Kornél Mundruczó’s audacious drama, about how a young girl’s separation from her dog leads to a full-blown canine uprising, won the Un Certain Regard Prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
