GRANDFATHER
NEVER SAW THE SEA
christine
hurzeler_2011_switzerland_27min_english subtitles
Why
do I remember one thing and not the other?” In her film essay “Grandfather
Never Saw the Sea”, Christine Hürzeler explores her own family history in an
unusual and unusually poetic way. The film-maker interlaces family recordings,
found footage and recent images into a visual and acoustic examination of her
origins. Upon closer inspection, it reveals the frictions, cracks and
unconfessed longings which ultimately betray domestic happiness as merely
staged. “Be nice to each other, says the father. We have a good time together.“
Beyond the personal, Hürzeler’s film is astonishingly accurate in documenting
the atmosphere of an entire era. The unease of the individual is also the
unease of a generation which grew up in a supposedly free society, yet lived
under the constantly looming shadow of the Cold War.
THE DREAM LIFE
adrien
kuenzy_2013_switzerland_37min_english subtitles
Dominique
lives with a few others in a Salvation Army shelter, a place cut off from the
“real” world. This results in the inhabitants being marginalized, albeit
protected from the outside world, or from a certain “normalcy”. Dominique, a
schizophrenic, confides in the filmmaker, talking about his life and his
attempts at existence. He describes the power of his visions, which enable him
to perceive a double reality: dreams and magic on the one hand, and all that is
real on the other. He is aware of the malady that causes his suffering and
would like to leave his dream life behind in order to live “like the good guy
he knows he is”.

A village in the Sierra Madre is inhabited by the last
representatives of an ancient Mixteco culture. Deprived of their identity by
modern civilization, they are facing an even bigger threat: a landslide that
may destroy the village during torrential rains. The local leader tries to
prevent the disaster. He wants to invite a geologist to the village, so that
the approaching danger could be officially confirmed. But no help is coming and
the inhabitants may just humbly wait for the disaster to happen.
LOOSING SONIA
radka

Documentary shows how a seemingly rigid
monastery can be a place full of life, beauty and artistic expression. Sonia, a young nun, paints icons
in the night and then sleeps until noon. She has a dog, cats, exotic birds, and
a body that rebelled against the strict rigour of the monks. Trying to understand her and the
meaning of her life choices, we come to Sonia’s family, marked with the history
of Russia
FREESTYLE LIFE
adam
palenta_2012_poland_8min_english subtitles
Freestyle life is a story of the art of putting up the fight,
when the game involves the most competitive rivals – ourselves. Resistance to
the determinism leads towards stubborn challenging oneselves
to consecutive duels. The surface of the screen that precisely keeps
the viewer from reality resembles the surface of water that separates swimmers
from their disability.

EXIT POINT
jagoda szelc_2012_poland_17min_english
subtitles
The film character has an unusual passion. He is ready to
sacrifice a lot for it, including his own life. Exit Point is a film
about decision making; in order to be free one must sometimes slavishly
follow one’s nature. This is also a story of sacrifice in the name of
superior values. What’s the prize of being free and is freedom indeed
worth the biggest sacrifice?

of the musician Michał Zygmunt and filmmakers Aga Gonczarek & Patryk Kizny.

WITHOUT ME
magdalena
szymkow_2012_poland_28min_english subtitles
Two women, one house. An intimate story about a Pole and
a German placed by war on enemy sides and their parallel lives accidentally
brought together. The film reflects on the concepts of invaders, victim, guilt
and forgiveness. It confronts different experiences and their paradoxical
similarities. It deals with the controversial subject of the post-war
accountings. The visual narration is flowing, guided by memories and archives.
Traditional documentation confronts experimental use of archival footage in the
cinematic impression about displacement.

Landscape that is used to supply the city. Cars flash across the road, passing oil pumps and wind turbines, periphery and suburbs move by in accelerated speed. Through streets, along facades right into the maze of the city. The view to the horizon changes continuously in a sublime accumulation of things that are seemingly supplied in abundance. Ever changing fragments of a city, that has been growing over the centuries, dance along the streets in their varied stylistic interpretations.

THE MAN WHO WAS
THERE
daniel
suberviola&luis felipe torrente_2013_spain_29min_english subtitles
Manuel Chaves Nogales was always there
where the news was: in the fratricidal Spain of 1936, in Bolshevik Russia, in
fascist Italy, in nazi Germany, at a perishing Paris or at the London wrapped
in flames of World War II. His job was walking and telling. At a time when you
had to take sides if you didn't want to be set aside yourself, he used the
written word to fight against the different forms of totalitarianism which were
ravaging Europe. But Chaves always remained independent and that is precisely
the reason why he was forgotten for more than half a century.
