This April OVID presents 25 new films and 16 exclusives.

Exclusive premieres include the final two installments of Wang Bing’s monumental Youth trilogy. These immersive film festival favorites capture the exploitation of garment factory laborers in China. The complete trilogy is only available on OVID.

OVID also premieres the film that represented Palestine in this year’s Oscar race for Best International Feature, Life is Beautiful: A Letter to Gaza by Mohamed Jabaly, the third film by the Palestinian filmmaker to the platform.   

Yakuza classics include a neo-noir by Samurai movie veteran Eiichi Kudo that captures the height of ’80s decadence, Tamala 2010, described as “Hello Kitty meets David Lynch in outer space.” (Boston Globe)

Dramas on the way include Lost Illusions, a sumptuous adaptation of Balzac’s epic novel about the birth of modern media.
