Fuego en Casabindo

A search for the meaning of Héctor Tizón's novel, relating it to the life of its author. And the same, with the eponymous opera written as an adaptation of the novel by the composer Virtú Maragno. Also included is the documentary record of the Day of the Virgin and the Bullfighting with the Headband in Casabindo. Alongside this, a theatrical production incorporates fragments from both works to renew their meaning regarding the resistance of the Puna people to the usurpation of their lands, a central theme that runs through both the novel and the opera.

Shooting War

In a world where a photograph is worth a thousand words, we rely on photojournalists to bring us closer to the human side of wars and conflict. It's a job that has serious physical and psychological risks. In an effort to share their stories, the Globe and Mail has brought together several of the world's most renowned war photographers, including four-time Pulitzer Prize winner Carol Guzy and renowned Reuters photojournalist Goran Tomaševic. One by one, they tell of the moments that have shaped their work. But what happens when they leave their jobs to return home? With confronting honesty, the photographers describe their struggles to disengage from an all-consuming profession. Full of haunting and sometimes disturbing images, Shooting War pays homage to the people who sustain themselves through traumatic experiences to provide us with deeper insights into the agonies of the human race.

How to Tell a Secret

A film that brandishes the documentry form and art to try to dismantle the stigma of being HIV positive that still persists in society. The film honours the past and the iconic Thom McGinty, the Diceman, who was one of the first to speak openly in Ireland about having AIDS but, other than that, it’s very firmly rooted in the here and now. Based on a theatre show, the stories in this film move between bodies of young men, migrant women, drag artists and activists. A form-flipping documentary, it features a cast of actors as well as ordinary people coming out on screen for the first time.

Gatorlands‎

In Louisiana, the so-called bayous form a network of navigable water arms with marshy banks that stretches for thousands of kilometers . The waters flow very slowly, with a barely noticeable current towards the sea at low tide and upstream at high tide. This complex ecosystem is home to a great diversity of animal and plant species. Shot in the border region between the states of Texas and Louisiana, the film follows the course of the approximately 900-kilometre-long Sabine River. It documents the sometimes surprising behavior of numerous animals that live there, such as ants, raccoons, crayfish, water turtles, egrets, pelicans, fish and jellyfish. The Mississippi alligator also lives here, growing up to two and a half meters long and weighing in at 90 kilograms. It is at the top of the food chain - and when it shows its 90 razor-sharp teeth with a beaming “smile”, you understand why.

Vertep

A touching and almost festive story about how to remain optimistic and continue to do your job, despite all the hardships of the times. One of the film's main characters is a chaplain, a current priest of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, Dmytro Povorotnyi. He invites musicians with guitars to travel to military locations in Donbas. The entire musical tour led by the chaplain takes place in one day. The chaplain and the musicians are accompanied by a film crew from Suspilne Culture. The film, which was supposed to tell about a New Year's Eve volunteer trip to the military in the grey zone, became a story about mercy, understanding of need and help as a state.
