Jim Jarmusch Retrospective: Down By Law

USA, West Germany 107 min.
New Orleans, Louisiana. Pimp Jack and radio DJ Zack find themselves in the same prison cell, both victims of setups. They are soon joined by Roberto, a talkative Italian immigrant and eccentric optimist whose limited English skills are both amusing and frustrating. However, Roberto has an escape plan that Jack and Zack had never considered.

The Thing to Be Done

Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia 88 min.
A former electrician, a social worker, and a trade union activist join forces on what seems like an impossible mission. Today’s Europe relies on the cheap labor of migrant workers who, in search of a better life, accept poor working conditions, overtime hours, sleeping in containers, employer blackmail, and the erosion of their dignity.
