“Brushing history against the grain - Documentary; Truth; Montage” When facing the current spectacle of history, it seems that the shades of the last half of the 20th century’s beliefs in memory, as a shield against evil, and in history, as a teacher against failure, are vanishing....See more details
‘Theatre of Violence’ explores the varying definitions of justice, structures of power, historical legacies, and the complex interplay of human emotions that lead to violence. Emil Langballe and Lukasz Konopa’s film seeks to underline the roots of violence within a system that is supposed to impart fairness, dissecting its underlying causes with the aid of an investigative approach that makes use of archival footage from conflict zones and carefully analyses examples of acts of terrorism....See more details
Viera Čákanyová’s ‘Notes From the Eremocene’ is an experimental documentary portraying a possible future where the Eremocene encapsulates the idea of a new era shaped by the human impact on the environment and the profound changes in our collective consciousness. This realm is a fictional nexus formed by a group of scientists, philosophers and artists deeply concerned with the environment, a network where scientific discoveries, world archival material, artistic expression, and the artificial intelligence that generates this possible world all meet....See more details
What makes militant art great is that specific combination between the passion for the argument that characterizes activist rhetoric, and the careful observation and privileged – yet non-intrusive – access yielded by cinema when it serves as a document. The film in question follows the efforts of young Basel Adra, a resident of Masafer Yatta – an area that, following the Six Day War has fallen under Israeli occupation – to prevent the total eradication of the Palestinian presence in the region....See more details
The Danish island of Mandø in the Wadden Sea is home to 27 inhabitants. While a storm is threatening their windy and weathered land, Gregers sets out with his dog to conduct research on the area. Gregers is much like a collective image of the islander who, over the course of hundreds of years, has learned to survive in the unfriendly environment, and, despite the threats posed by the weather, refuses to build a life elsewhere and hopes to find a wife to run his farm with....See more details
‘Human Not Human’ is the second film from young filmmaker Natan Castay, an essay both personal and philosophically dense, based on Castay’s own recent unemployment causing him to join the army of “digital proletarians” who execute the seemingly absurd tasks that fuel the gigantic machinery of AI – the very same machinery that will soon take over their jobs, as much as the jobs of numerous other workers in all domains and corners of the world....See more details
Director: Ion Gnatiuc Republic of Moldova, 2024, 52 min Synopsis LEAD FOR JUSTICE delves into the personal and professional lives of several representatives of the justice system in the Republic of Moldova. The camera becomes a silent and attentive witness in their lives, managing to capture in a natural manner the way their daily routine unfolds: the journey to work; their interactions and discussions with colleagues and clients, the long and tiring meetings, as well as the challenges that most often remain unnoticed by the general public – sacrificing time spent with family, professional burnout, gaps in the system.
Six screens broadcasting in parallel, from different angles, a single event: the operation to rescue the migrants trapped on a sinking boat. Not so much a thirst for hyper-visibility as an attempt to confront us with the real duration of the situation, to render it to the viewer as stranger, more absurd, more unbearable....See more details
‘Our Body’ is an ambitious documentarian survey of the gynaecology ward in a Parisian hospital. In the hands of the ever so relevant Claire Simon, this investigation is the opposite of intrusive: as various women cross the threshold of the doctor’s office, a space of empathy, of sisterhood even, begins to form all around the camera....See more details
‘God Between Us’ is a film about freedom as much as about the very limits of it. Questioning her own extended family's relationship with the Protestant religion, filmmaker Rebecca Hirneise transforms the space opened by the camera lens into one of encounter and debate. The result can only be contradictory: the discussions venture far, into psychological depths and intimate motivations – or not....See more details
