Thiruvananthapuram: Five films from the international competition category will be screened on the third day of the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), on Sunday.
 
The Japanese film 'Evil Does Not Exist', the Azerbaijani fantasy film 'Sermon to the Birds', 'Sunday' by Shokir Kholikov, 'Achilles' by Farhad Delaram, and 'Prison in the Andes' by Felipe Carmona are the films in the list.
 
Oscar-winning Japanese director Ryusuke Hamaguchi's 'Evil Does Not Exist' centers on the arrival of industrialists in the village of Takumi and the ensuing conflict.
 
The film, which had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, is best characterized as an anti-capitalist and environmentalist allegory. It will be shown in the Tagore theatre at 6.30 pm.
 
'Achilles' tells the story of a former filmmaker, now employed as a medical worker, who helps a political prisoner escape her jail-like existence. The film is built on the political turmoil in Iran and the emotions of the characters.
 
'Sermon to the Birds' by Hilal Baydarov, set in the forests of Azerbaijan, portrays Davud and Sura, who are under siege and waiting for the Hunter to save them.
 
Uzbekistan film 'Sunday' shows the life of an old couple, which gets disrupted when their sons plan to demolish their parents' old house and build a new one. 'Prison in the Andes' tells the story of criminals who fear losing their lives in their luxurious jail after one of the inmates gives a TV interview. His declarations fuel an unexpected backlash.
