- DirectorSalvador CalvoStarsLuis TosarJavier GutiérrezÁlvaro CervantesIn 1898, Spain sends a military squad to the town of Baler, the Philippines, to protect one of the last colonies of the Spanish Empire, to prevent rebellious natives from recovering their ancient territories. Lead by Captain Enrique de las Morenas and Lieutenant Cerezo, proud military men, the soldiers are stalked at night by the rebels, and are forced to seek refuge in the church run by Fray Carmelo, Baler's priest. Turning the church into a military fort, the unrelenting heat and malaria starts to sweep across the men. After the Captain's death by a disease called beriberi, Cerezo steps in as the new leader of the squad, faced with a constant power struggle with Jimeno, a soldier from the previous squad annihilated by the rebels. Becoming more and more paranoid and obsessive with the victory and the glory of the Spanish Empire, the rebels close to Cerezo explain that Spain has already sold the Philippine Islands to the United States, ceding all the colonies of the Spanish Empire, and that the war is over. But Cerezo does not believe in the newspapers given by the rebels and is still obsessed to win at all cost.

- DirectorGerardo de LeonEddie RomeroStarsJock MahoneyFernando Poe Jr.Michael ParsonsThis gritty, atmospheric war movie dramatizes a chapter of World War II history in which 10,000 Japanese soldiers, fearing execution if they surrendered, disobeyed their own superiors' orders and barricaded themselves in Manila's Intramuros section along with a thousand or so unfortunate civilians. The walled city-within-the-city was built by Spanish colonialists from 1590 onward. Leading Allied forces trying to wear the trapped Axis troops' resistance down is Jock Mahoney as a gruff American officer carrying a big load of guilt from a prior operation gone wrong. Shot in impressive chiaroscuro-lit black-and-white on location, this was a fairly rare U.S. coproduction at the time, though the Philippines would shortly become a hub for English- language exploitation movies (with co-directors Eddie Romero and Gerardo de Leon among the busiest creators of features designed for both local and overseas audiences). WALLS OF HELL must have been a bittersweet project for de Leon: during WW2 he was forced to make propaganda films by Japanese occupiers even as he secretly worked against them in the underground resistance. - Dennis Harvey

They leave northern Italy, where a dangerous and shameful xenophobia, triggered by Covid-19 pandemic, is going on. Lanie and her two kids were getting threatening looks in their adoptive country, because they were often mistaken for Chinese nationals, and decided to return to their native country. They decided to leave Italy a few days before the first lock down ever done in the western world. But an incident involving her infant Albert forced her to spend a long period of time in a foreign country, making her journey quite difficult and spoiling her plans. The Silent Killer is a modern silent film that follows, after 3 years, the silent film A Perfect Family (2017) which presents almost the same cast. The Silent Killer, which is technically a mockumentary (since it alternates the story of the family with chronicles about Covid-19 from all around the world), has been one of the two official selections from Italy to the prestigious 14th International Silent Film Festival of Manila. The Silent Killer is clearly an adaptation work of a film with full sound and dialogues since it features interviews to politicians, normal people, celebrities that got infected with Covid 19 and scientists (like the virologist Fabrizio Pregliasco and Dr. Carlo Alberto Zaccagna) that explain the pandemic (the first), and educate people on how to better prepare to fight the disease (the second). This work is embellished by the music of Italian Composer Franco Eco.

The film uncovers a murky world where crime, drugs and politics meet in a deathly embrace - and reveal that although the police have been publicly ordered to stop extra-judicial killings, the deaths continue.
