10 Films for Desistfilm 2022 Film Round-up

In response to Desistfilm’s request:

“I am very happy to ask you all to share your ten best films you have seen this year on any platform. Reflections on the cinematographic year that we have lived through, or on your own lists, are always more than welcome. They can include any exhibition format (feature film, short film, expanded cinema, etc.). We only ask you to mention the country and the year of the film. As always, our spirit has always been to highlight independent, underground, and experimental cinema, so, although it is not an imperative, your expert eye and inclusion of all types of films will be greatly appreciated.”
