Rock for Artsakh: a concert for peace

During the 2020 Artsakh War, our community came together for a special live concert event to raise vital funds for humanitarian efforts and for a moment of unity. Rock For Artsakh streamed on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram and was viewed over 1 million times the day of its premiere on October 28, 2020. During the live stream, our community raised a whopping $3,106,947.50, which was doubled thanks to the generosity of anonymous contributors and donated to ArmeniaFund to build 60 houses in Artsakh's Askeran region for families displaced by the war.

Mariposas Violeta

This short 40-minute documentary collects the testimony of twelve women survivors of sexual violence in Colombia. They were victims of the paramilitaries, the FARC and ELN guerrillas and agents of the State. Their heartbreaking testimony is the imprint of the deepest pain and, at the same time, the greatness of transforming it. Each of them agreed to speak after a process of more than five years with the No Time to Callar campaign, which has accompanied them and worked alongside them, at different times. Violet Butterflies, in addition to a journalistic short, is an act of memory.

Song Searcher

This film is the story of a man’s lifelong search for authentic Yiddish folk music and of his unique archive, which was presumed to be lost forever. Moyshe Beregovsky, a musician and scholar, crisscrossed Ukraine with phonograph in hand during the most dramatic years of Soviet history in order to record and study the traditional music of Ukrainian Jewry. His work began in the 1920’s and led to his arrest and imprisonment in a Stalinist labor camp in 1950. Most of those he recorded on hundreds of fragile wax cylinders were shot by the Nazis and tossed into countless mass graves. Ultimately, Beregovsky succeeded in saving the musical heritage of the centuries-old Yiddish civilization. He rescued the Living Voice of his people from the flames of the Holocaust but paid for it with his life. With this introduction, Yelena Yakovich one of the leading Russian documentary film-makers, begins her latest work, Song Searcher.

A City As Long As Life Itself

Anton is an ordinary guy from Kryvyi Rih who plays computer games, listens to rap music, and works as an IT engineer. But after the Revolution of Dignity, he began fighting against the corrupt local authorities, which are still dominated by representatives of the regime of fugitive president Viktor Yanukovych and Soviet methods of governance. Anton strives to make Kryvyi Rih a better place to live, but the system retaliates with smear campaigns and lawsuits against him. One of the pressing issues for Anton is to improve the local public transport system in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine's longest city. A city where you are unlikely to get anywhere by public transport after 8 p.m.

The Other Life

In this episode film The Other Life, eleven comrades are interviewed and the perspective of their life stories gives insights into the society of the German Democratic Republic. Polytechnical instruction, health care, participation, work brigade, and the Cold War - everyday life and history. The GDR appears in a new light, which is a difference to an otherwise one-sided and mostly negative presentation in mass media. The history of the first socialist German state is full of experiences that can provide answers to the social and economic problems of today.

Concrete Dreams

Murilo Peres and Pedro Barros get a once-in-a-lifetime pass to roll on the fabled curves of some undisputed masterpieces of modern architecture. Oscar Niemeyer remains one of the most important architects in modern history. The Brazilian visionary, who died in 2012 aged 104, elevated modern architecture beyond the realms of function and created buildings that are works of art and express the highest attributes of humanity. His work with reinforced concrete in particular created new architectural forms and possibilities, eschewing the tyranny of angles to create waves and swooping arches of such soaring beauty that they represent nothing less than physical poetry.

#iorestoacasa

"#iorestoacasa" is a virtual artefact that visualises data relative to the COVID-19 pandemic in the form of a particle system. The most relevant data about the virus outbreak is mapped to variables that modify the shape and colour of the system. "#iorestoacasa" was conceived and developed during the ‘lockdown’that was introduced in Italy to combat the virus outbreak. At the beginning of hisconfinement, Spagnuolowatched the news to hear updates on the virus situation. However,like many others, hewas soonso overwhelmed by all the numbers, that they stopped making sense. That’s when hehad the idea to take the same data that made himfeel so uneasy and represent it in a more soothing way. The title of this work, which translates to ‘stay home’, is a tribute to the communal effort that permitted a haltto the spread of the virus and relieved pressure on the healthcare system.

Return to Gandhi Road

Return to Gandhi Road tells the powerful story of Kangyur Rinpoche; a renowned Tibetan Master who, heeding the imminent danger of the 1950’s Cultural Revolution, and under the instructions of the Dalai Lama, braved the dangerous journey over the Himalayan mountains to India, rescuing two tons of Buddhist texts that otherwise faced potential extinction. Once in Darjeeling he built a Monastery at 54 Gandhi Road. It was here where the few single-minded Westerners in search of a more meaningful life, began to arrive in the late 1960’s. Told through the eyes of one of those first Westerners, New Zealander Kim Hegan, as he now, more than 40 years after Rinpoche’s passing, and his Buddhist practice abandoned, will trace the journey he made to Darjeeling 45 years earlier, to tell Rinpoche’s profound story, while healing the trauma that kept him away for so long.

The Cypress Dance

“A Dança do Cipreste” (The Cypress Dance) springs from our interest in the immanent transformations of the body driven by dreams and desire, love and death, in their lucid and ghostly variants. Embracing the influence of imagination in the encounter with nature, it brings to light relationships of continuity and discontinuity with other beings and elements, as it follows the movements of a family circle. Mariana appears to us in her solitude, a woman and painter, at the height of her search for pleasure and desire, committed to artistic representations and her family life. Witty figures of strangeness, eroticism and violence emerge. Mariana, Henrique, Artur and Rafael, together or individually, find themselves in mutual projections and symbiotic relationships, in the days spent outdoors and in imaginary places. A sensorial portrait, which combines simple relationships of contact and affection, exploratory moments in nature and creations of the spirit.
