The World on Your Screen

At any moment, Ventana highlights a feature that embodies the spirit of world cinema. This section is updated monthly, featuring films that provoke, enchant, and linger long after the credits roll.

Watch the Spotlight

Deep End

15-year-old Mike takes a job at the local swimming baths, where he becomes obsessed with an attractive young woman, Susan, who works there as an attendant. Although Susan has a fiancé, Mike does his best to sabotage the relationship, to the extent of stalking both her and her fiancé. Mike becomes increasingly desperate to have Susan for himself, with tragic results.

Common Senses

In a Chicago neighborhood shaped by survival and improvisation, two unlikely companions forge a bond – only to have it unravel when a child disappears. James Azrael anchors the story as the kleptomaniac, bringing an unfiltered honesty to his performance, while Kathy Berger’s grounded presence as the hustler’s confidante adds tension and heart. Through unscripted moments and an unvarnished visual style, the film invites viewers into a compelling exploration of loyalty, loss, and the fragile nature of human bonds.

The Zookeeper

In the midst of a devastating civil war in an Eastern European country, a disillusioned ex-Communist is left behind to take care of the animals in the capital's zoological gardens until a U.N. rescue force arrives.

Solyaris

Ground control has been receiving strange transmissions from the three remaining residents of the Solaris space station. When cosmonaut and psychologist Kris Kelvin is sent to investigate, he experiences the strange phenomena that afflict the Solaris crew, sending him on a voyage into the darkest recesses of his own consciousness. Based on the novel by the same name from Polish author Stanislaw Lem.

Deadly Drifter

A former radical drifter wanders America searching for purpose, caught between memories of the ’60s counterculture and the compromises of modern life. Starring Peter Coyote and featuring an early appearance by Danny Glover, Deadly Drifter is a satirical road drama that blurs the line between fiction and improvisation.

Goodbye Burlesque

In this colorful Musical Comedy, set in 1954, three women working in a burlesque club, square off against their sleazy manager, who's pushing for more flesh. Cherilee Taylor (of Showcases' "Paradise Falls") delivers an enticing performance set to 50's rock n' roll!

Endless Way

Ah Shui returns with her sister to a remote mountain village in Hunan (Western China) by car(an S.U.V.) and remembers episodes of her life that are related to a water project. Despite being a foggy and sometimes rainy area water is scarce and poverty is omnipresent.

The Holy Mountain

Visionary filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky delivers a surreal, mind-bending journey of mysticism, satire, and transformation. Following a Christ-like wanderer guided by an enigmatic alchemist, the film explores greed, corruption, spirituality, and the search for enlightenment as a group of disciples ascends a sacred mountain in pursuit of immortality. With striking visuals, provocative symbolism, and unforgettable imagery, The Holy Mountain is a landmark of avant-garde cinema – challenging, hypnotic, and unlike anything else in film history.
