Ernie & Joe is an intimately and effectively crafted vérité documentary following two Texas police officers administering new approaches
in dealing with the mentally ill, challenging the typical methods of attending to these often vulnerable members of society. Weaving the officers’ encounters with those experiencing mental health crisis with their own personal lives, the film observes their humane approach to those they meet in the line of duty, whilst giving insight to the strain of their vocation. A masterful social commentary, the film is empathetic and thought-provoking and a compelling reflection on this rarely analysed issue. RG

Oleg leaves his home in Latvia, his work visa acquired for a job as
a butcher in a Belgian slaughterhouse. When Oleg is blamed for a workplace accident, he is left unemployed in an unfamiliar country. Faced with an uncertain future, Oleg meets Andrzej, a friendly, larger- than-life Polish wideboy, who offers Oleg a job and a place to stay. But soon it becomes apparent that Oleg’s future may not be so bright. The second feature from Juris Kursietis (Modris), Oleg is a stark, yet pacy look at a dangerous situation all too common in Europe today. SE Official Selection, Cannes Film Fortnight, 2019
