There's a film subtitler. There's a film she must urgently subtitle. There's the plot of that film, with which she relates on a level that will remain enigmatic to us. And in that film within the film there's a main character, whose dreams are being devoured, and other characters, interested in dreams as well, but far more practical. And there¹s music, and a promise of music. Timelessly wandering through the world.
Paul (2016 )
Film
Five young Ukrainians discuss life following the Maidan Revolution of 2014. Not all fought in the Russian-Ukrainian war, but it, regardless, shattered their life plans. Representing 'Generation Maidan', they face the question of how to cope with experiences of violence, how to go on. A local theatre director produces Hamlet, wherein they can use Shakespeare’s tragic character as a mirror and face their traumas onstage. For them, 'to be or not to be' is not simply text but an existential dilemma with no clear answer.
The Hamlet Syndrome (2022 )
Film
An audition for men aged between 16 and 99. There are no props nor make-up, just pure improvisation. All that is required is the willingness to engage openly with the topic and language of the words on the page. No small challenge, since the text in question is the scandalous novel published anonymously in 1906 “Josefine Mutzenbacher, or the Life Story of a Viennese Whore, as Told by Herself” which, as this film confirms, continues to be the subject of passionate and controversial discussions about desire, even today. What might be world-class pornographic literature for some is seen by others as an abusive depiction of child sexuality.

Film
In 2019, the Brazilian government coordinates the largest and riskiest expedition of the last decades into the Amazon rainforest to search for a group of isolated indigenous people in vulnerability and promote their first contact with non-indigenous. Bruno Pereira, who would later be murdered in the same region and turned into an international symbol in favor of the indigenous and the forest, leads the expedition.
The Invention of the Other (2022 )
Film
The film depicts the lives of the two sole residents of an abandoned company town while unfolding a complex labour history and revealing the vestiges of environmental degradation. Combining large format cinematography and an inquiry into the archival record, it interlaces past and present.

Der georgischen Regisseurin Salomé Jashi gelingen hier tolle, allegorische Bilder. Kein biblisches und auch kein futuristisches Motiv steckt dahinter, sondern eine ernüchternde Wirklichkeit, in der ein steinreicher und politisch mächtiger Mann, den mehr als 100 Jahre alten Baum samt Scholle ausgraben lässt, um ihn per Schiff auf sein riesiges Anwesen zu bringen. So absurd die Verpflanzung anmutet, so sehr ist sie Sinnbild für Macht, unverschämten Reichtum und Bezwingung der Natur. Die Mühen der Entwurzelung macht der Film deutlich sicht- und hörbar. Den Interviews mit den Besitzern des Baumes, Anwohnern und Arbeitern stellt Jashi immer wieder archaische Bilder gegenüber, die unseren Umgang mit der Natur konterkarieren und Begriffe wie Demut und Bescheidenheit einfordern.
Die Zähmung der Bäume (2022 )
Film
In Croatia in 2005, a machine tools factory was occupied by its workers. Since then, they have operated collectively, becoming the only successful example of a worker occupation in post-socialist Europe. Today, as they seek a new model of collective ownership, the microcosmic world of the factory clashes with the forces of the globalized market economy, having an increasingly brutal impact on wages and the organization of the factory, causing rising disaffection among the workers. Filmmaker Srđan Kovačević returns regularly over a five year period to make a film that charts the evolution of this communal enterprise. Factory to the Workers tells the inside story of the workers who challenged the dominant economic narrative with their actions. After a decade, the same question remains: can a factory in the hands of workers survive at the periphery of capitalism, or do we need a bigger dream?

"Ich bin kein Rassist, ich hasse alle Menschen gleich." erklärt Officer Dave Brown dem Mann von Internal Affairs. Brown ist ein richtig mieser Typ. Er säuft im Dienst, wirft Pillen ein wie Schokodrops, droht, prügelt und bricht Gesetze, wie es ihm gerade passt. Aber als Cop hält er die Straßen von LA frei von kriminellem Ungeziefer, damit seine beiden Töchter und viele andere brave Bürger in Sicherheit leben können. So war es immer schon und das ist auch völlig ok - in seinen Augen. Doch eines verdammten Tages flimmern die Bilder, wie Brown einen Verdächtigen fast totschlägt, über alle TV-Sender. Eine der vielen Videokameras in der Stadt hat alles dokumentiert. Und was das krisengeschüttelte LA Police Department gerade gar nicht brauchen kann, ist ein prügelnder Cop ...

Film
We accompany a handful of teenagers on their forays into department stores, listen to techno musik, stand on the sidelines as a big kid picks on someone half his size. But the film has nothing of the usual voyeuristic sensationalism à la reality TV; it is rather a patently constructed, analytical montage of reality that opens out into times and spaces, and provides food for thought. Ghetto is divided into six loosely interwoven chapters. Each of the six chapters has its own coloring, its own pace and actors, its own treatment of the raw material. And each has its own distinctive scenery – interspersed shots of the geographical or architectural environment in which the young protagonists live. –First Hand Films

Our Beloved Month of August (2008 )
Film
Vardas autobiografische Erzählung beginnt mit akustischen und haptisch-materiellen Erinnerungsspuren: die Möbel im Schlafzimmer der Eltern, das Quietschen der Schranktür, das handbetriebene Grammophon auf dem die Mutter manchmal Schuberts Unvollendete hörte. Die Regisseurin versucht ein Re-enactment, in dem sie zur unvollendeten Symphonie das Quietschen eines Scharniers montiert: eine Tonmontage aus klassischer Musik und musique concrète. Dieses Arrangement ist ein Vorspiel innerhalb der Titelsequenz, die die Erinnerungsspuren aus der Kindheit in eine Installation transformieren: ein Bettgestell als Perspektivrahmen am Strand.
Die Strände von Agnès (2008 )
Film
A portrait of New York artist Keith Haring. The film looks to Haring as an artistic role model for his preternatural talent, of course, but also for his infectious lust for life that had him as committed to social activism and teaching children as to his latest painting.

Lao Yang is head of logistics of the group. He is responsible for the equipment, building materials and food (mainly chickens) to arrive in the isolated Chinese prefab camp. The Congolese government was supposed to deliver these things but so far the team hasn't received anything. With Eddy (a Congolese man who speaks Mandarin fluently) as an intermediate, Lao Yang is forced to leave the camp and deal with local Congolese entrepreneurs, because without the construction materials the road works will cease. What follows is an endless, harsh, but absurdly funny roller coaster of negotiations and misunderstandings, as Lao Yang learns about the Congolese way of making deals.

Film
An audiovisual allegory on communication – this film follows cable technicians in four different countries (Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova) as they visit their customers. Each client they call on provides a glimpse into their own individual universe. With so many tools for communication, we still inhabit a modern-day Tower of Babel; an ordered discordance of personalities and perspectives.

Composed from the conversations that the director holds with people passing by in the street under his Warsaw apartment, each story in 'The Balcony Movie' is unique and deals with the way we try to cope with life as individuals.

Varda focuses her eye on gleaners: those who scour already-reaped fields for the odd potato or turnip. Her investigation leads from forgotten corners of the French countryside to off-hours at the green markets of Paris, following those who insist on finding a use for that which society has cast off, whether out of necessity or activism.

The film features an incredibly low angel’s flight over the dunes of Nida, Trakai castle, the lakes of Aukstaitija (Highlands), the roofs of the Old Town of Vilnius and the fantastically beautiful church steeples. It’s like a mystical gliding just above the treetops, meadows covered by early morning mist, as well as the narrow streets of Vilnius.
