Short films, panels, and television programming for day 4 of We Are One
On day four of We Are One, short films pack the programming line-up — with everything from a tiny pic about cats to a fantastical stop-motion dive into childhood memories to the journey of a motorcycle driver carrying blood to hospitals during a blood shortage in Nigeria airing throughout the day.
As audiences have come to expect, there's much more to We Are One: A Global Film Festival than just the shorts. June 1, the first Monday of the fest, will provide two panels and one television program with esteemed public figures at the forefront.
Tune into a discussion with Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) and The Revenant director Alejandro G. Iñárritu. Then, Star Wars fans can catch Rogue One actor Diego Luna chatting with Estrella Araiza, the general director of the Guadalajara Film Festival, about movie-making.
A handful of actors and even a politician step into the interview chair for Na povlarne, a Czech talk show run by Marek Eben. The We Are One screening features highlights from interviews with Quincy Jones, Laura Dern, Danny DeVito, and diplomat Madeleine Albright.

The feature films screening on June 1 during We Are One
Two feature films will screen during the fourth day of We Are One: A Global Film Festival.
The first is Ticket of No Return from writer-director Ulrike Ottinger, a Berlin International Film Festival selection centered around a woman known only as "She" (Tabea Blumenschein), who buys a one-way ticket to Berlin. Wearing outlandish clothing, She drinks her way around the city — which is her favorite thing to do. It may seem like a silly premise, but Ticket of No Return has been praised for its ability to cleverly satirize "social stigmas and cynical advertising," as well as to provide a peek into what Berlin was like in the late 1970s (via We Are One).
Next is 45 Days in Harvar, in which contemporary painter César Aréchiga constructs a recreation of his studio and living room from the inside of a prison in Mexico. A group of inmates helps Aréchiga in his endeavor — learning about art and collaboration, sharing their own stories, and discussing the prison system as a whole in the process.
Ticket of No Return — "A solitary woman purchases a one-way ticket to Berlin to indulge her greatest passion — binge drinking — in Ulrike Ottinger's flamboyantly provocative classic of New German Cinema." Screens at 9 AM EST on June 1.
45 Days in Harvar — "Plastic artist-director César Aréchiga recreates his living room and studio in a Mexican maximum-security prison, in which 15 inmates learn about paper production, clay modeling, sculpture and painting." Screens at 4:15 PM EST on June 1.
