QUICK AND DIRTY: LIVE FROM TALLINNFrench directors Aurélien and Olivier Héraud’s The End (artificial fragments of humankind) (Lõpp. Inimkonna tehisfragmendid, 2023), opens with the onscreen notice, “The film you are about to see, was written by an artificial intelligence.” Whether AI could come up with something as out-there as this, one of the year’s most quirky films, is unlikely.

QUICK AND DIRTY: LIVE FROM TALLINN Fernando Frias’ third feature is based on an autofiction novel by Juan Pablo Villalobos. Perhaps autofiction is used in the loosest terms here, if the unlikely and outlandish experiences of his lead is anything to go by – sharing his name to the protagonist in the film, played by Dario Yazbek Bernal. Like the real Juan Pablo, he hails from Guadalajara, Mexico and is an aspiring author, who travelled to Barcelona on a scholarship for doctorate in literary theory.
