Son para tres
At the east of Mexico City, three people have decided to break the stereotypes set by society and build a new reality; where love, solidarity and dance are the axes.
No Desire to Hide
The film shows the ordinary lives of young people in China, with all their romantic problems, unfulfilled dreams and existential crises that are interwoven into everyday dialogues and conversations with the director. The two central protagonists try to function in an open relationship, which suits only one of the partners, while the other suffers and longs for a family life. The possibility of emigration to America is a hope, but it is gradually receding due to the worsening political situation. The camera captures even the most intimate moments and puts the viewer in the position of a voyeur observing the exposed bodies and souls.
Nursing
The man is dying. A person is born. Who is next to him at this moment? Almost always today it is a midwife and a nurse. The most feminine profession is often the toughest. Where to draw strength for this work, the essence of which is to be close to a person? How to save yourself and give yourself at the same time?
Years Are Here
From the Three Great Wars to the founding of New China, from starting from scratch, to China's entry into the world's second largest economy. Looking back over the past seventy years. Relying on 500,000 minutes of precious documentary images, the original sound, and the meticulous ingenuity to build a time-space corridor to the history
La zita
In a landscape forgotten by time, the archaic reminder of a past civilizations remain imprinted amongst the ruins scattered across the countryside where a goat meanders. An intimate and almost mythical portrait of southern italy that bears witness to the cohabiting contradictions of distant worlds.
Contour
The documentation of the river focuses on a set of rounded stones whose moving contours, flowing around invisible obstacles and pouring out of thin lines into changing surfaces, have been constructed from thousands of photographs using 3D graphics techniques.
Food for the Poor
A young Puerto Rican activist confronts the island's persistent crisis of food insecurity.
Rastorhuev
On July 30, 2018, documentary filmmaker Alexander Rastorguev was killed in the Central African Republic. He left a unique mark on Russian cinema, but managed to do much less than he could. "Rastorguev" - a portrait of one of the brightest and most free filmmakers of our time; direct speech and fragments of films, forming a single statement about the meaning of art, homeland and pain.
Ein Tag in der Holzofenbäckerei - die Reportage
Northern Comfort: A Drive Around Town
A highly relevant and sensitively handled reflection on the dynamic between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. This film addresses the question of white privilege head-on and calls for dialogue.
Sacred Solitude
A seventy-year-old man who lives alone off the grid in the mountains of Central Italy–after having spent his life with hippies, abused drugs, and wandered around the world–has to find a way to survive when he runs out of water.
Mountains Meet the Sea
Escape into a natural world that stretches from the mountains of Colorado to the ocean's edge in Oregon. Journey through fleeting moments when these distant landscapes become one through layered exposures on film.
The Reason Why
In 1993, 16-year-old Hanit Kikos disappeared from Ofakim, Israel. A few days later, Suleiman al-Obeid Hoda was arrested, confessing that he raped and murdered her but gave conflicting confessions to investigators. 30 years after his imprisonment, the films with those involved in the affair shine a new light on the case.
The Storm
Shot as Delhi emerged from COVID’s second wave, the film plays phone calls from the worst of the pandemic. Anonymous participants, some who lost loved ones, and others who worked on the frontlines, share their deeply personal accounts. What emerges is a story of survival, remembrance, & resilience.

Melody
Trapped in a room and suffering from unknown noises and fears, I meet and talk with Goyuhan Seon and Violet J, who are suffering from schizophrenia, the same mental problems as me. These two were swimming in this world in their own way and at their own pace. Our stories drifted separately with our individual notes, but they encounter each other and are eventually completed as one melody.
The City Was Asleep and It Had a Dream
The end of the Soviet Union has made its mark, not only on Georgia’s politics, society, and economy, but also on Tbilisi’s urban architecture. Regimented blocks have acquired slipshod DIY extensions; buildings arise with no overall plan; and construction projects that were abandoned halfway have left functionless gaps. Mistakes are made and not always corrected. Urban sprawl is thus changing the appearance of the city.
BR Acima de Tudo
In the north of the state of Pará is the largest block of protected forests in the world; an area of Amazon rainforest the size of the UK and home to a multitude of stories. Indigenous people, ranchers, squatters, quilombolas, businessmen and politicians reflect in their own way the impacts of the possible expansion of the BR-163 into the forest, as far as the border with Suriname. The highway project was created at the time of the military dictatorship, and until today as a shadow over the region. But this is not a movie about a road. It is a film about the abysses that separate those who share the same land.
EVEN MORE AMERICAN GRAFFITI
Shot with a microscope, we follow a few hours in the lives of doomed pond microbes as they are each decimated by a growing air-bubble.
Et si les Chiliens nous redonnaient la patate ?
Bilbao Continius Movement
Symphonic documentary film that portraits the ceaseless evolution of Bilbao, looks at the present and peers towards the futures that lie ahead. The camera wanders through the city accompanying real people with whom we discover the use of various spaces that go beyond the use of their original design.

In Order To Escort Her
When a FIlipina-American niece travels to Tacloban, Philippines to visit her beloved aunt, other relatives show up with a message, transforming the nature of the family visit.
Surviving Helmand

This is their story of surviving Helmand.
Summer Night by the Beach
The artist duo Astrup & Bordorff has visited 1930s Oslo in a performative adaptation of a popular open-air bath with an accompanying cabaret stage by the fjord. Created as a theatrical backdrop in a film studio, Astrup & Bordorff have staged a series of stylised tableaux, which connect the popular with the more marginalised across past, present and future. From an opera performance on a cruise ship to a romantic encounter between two roller skiers in Oslo’s Ekebergskogen forest, the film includes drag artists, professional actors and amateurs performing side by side under a tropical, ominous, orange sky, which is otherwise foreign to Norway – and which is reminiscent of Fassbinder’s queer cinema monument ‘Querelle’. The place actually existed until 1946, when it burned down, and is today the subject of intense gentrification. The work was commissioned by the Munch Museum and is named after one of Munch’s paintings.
Missing Magic
A young poet and activist in Birmingham, Alabama tries to write his way through the complex history of the city.
