獲得第24屆圣丹斯電影節劇情片類評委會大獎的《雷管》，講述的是四位合作者出于興趣發明了一臺查錯儀器，卻意外地發現這臺儀器擁有強大的商業價值，最終四人相互爭斗的局面。《雷管》是導演什恩-卡魯斯(ShaneCaruth)首次執導的劇情長片，該片由他自己投資，并身兼編劇、導演、主演數職，體現出獨立電影的“DIY”精神。另外，令人津津樂道的是該片不足7000美元的超低制作成本，只相當于一輛富康車的價錢……

　　Following her mother’s death, manga artist Soriya travels to her ancestral home in Phnom Penh, with hopes of reconnecting with her distant family and using the visit as inspiration for her work. All goes well initially. Renting an apartment in Metta, a rundown Khmer Rouge-era housing complex, her visit to her maternal relatives finds her welcomed with open arms. But Soriya’s waking hours in the apartment and its surroundings are punctuated by terrifying, bloody visions, almost as though she were a conduit for horrors of the past wanting to seep into the present.　　Inrasothythep Neth and Sokyou Chea’s blood-chilling psychological horror explores a personal and political past through the present, transforming a characterful space into an insidious environment. Surrounded by modern high-rises, this decrepit structure, with its brutalist architecture and peeling surfaces, is a relic from a dark period in history whose painful memories it has absorbed. In tracing Soriya’s ominous journey back to her roots, Tenement hints at a necessary reckoning with Cambodia’s political past without overplaying its historical dimension. It’s an impressive work from a woefully underrepresented national cinema.

　　1976年，一名會計師因莫須有的罪名，將面臨不公正的刑事判罰，他決心一斗到底。西班牙導演阿爾韋托·羅德里格斯（《千面人》）闊別6年重回大銀幕的新作，根據真實事件創作，于現已關閉的巴塞羅那莫德羅監獄內實景拍攝，回溯1976年弗朗哥去世后的西班牙民主過渡期。影片巧用突然驚嚇營造驚悚氣氛，反映獄警對犯人的多種慘無人道的摧殘；藉由民憤輪番上演花式越獄，點燃普通人的求生之火，強烈抨擊國家法律體系的不公。榮獲2023年西班牙戈雅獎16項提名，最終攬獲最佳美術指導等5項技術大獎。
