The hidden village just metres from North Korea
"The tiny village of Taesung sits deep in the heart of Korea’s Demilitarised Zone – the strip of no-man’s land separating North and South Korea. "The community of South Koreans, many aged in their 80s and 90s, live mere metres from North Korea, meaning they must be guarded day and night by hundreds of soldiers. "The village was established at the end of the Korean War as a symbol of peace, but 70 years later, the Korean Peninsula is still divided, and over the past year tensions between the two countries have flared. "The BBC’s Seoul correspondent Jean Mackenzie has secured rare access to the village, the people who live there and the soldiers who guard them. Filmed and edited by Hosu Lee."

Abyss clean up
In 2016, the CNR and the La Sapienza University of Rome published a study on the discovery of a huge landfill in the depths of the underwater canyons of the Strait of Messina. This waste deposit, identified thanks to the use of a sophisticated ROV, a remotely operated wire-guided underwater vehicle, does not represent an isolated case, but rather the example of a phenomenon also found in several other marine depths in the world, from Gibraltar to Nice, from Korea to Africa. With the aid of the latest generation of sophisticated technical means, the film documents the underwater exploration conducted at the end of June 2023 by the director together with marine geologists from the CNR, marine biologists and robotics engineers, in the suggestive stretch of sea that connects the Tyrrhenian Sea with the Ionian Sea, over 600 meters deep.

Precious
Directed by Paris-based filmmaker Joaquim Bayle, PRECIOUS builds on Carhartt WIP’s last full-length skate project INSIDE OUT, which was released in 2022. The name of the project derives from the delicate yet gruelling process of shooting tricks on film. “Now that I understand skateboarding a little more, I wanted to pay tribute to its subversive form, its poetic form,” says Bayle of the feature, describing a “precious feeling I had when I started skateboarding and which, as I have gotten older, I've tended to forget.” In encapsulating this, he employs a multi-sensory approach. Warm, gauzy footage is punctuated by shutter clicks and black and white photography. Quiet moments of reflection are interrupted by the sound of wheels on concrete. Softly spoken word drifts in and out of a soundtrack of sludge metal and synthwave.
