I am a Hologram

This is a mockumentary about people who, for various reasons, have become holograms... So, scientists have launched an experiment - a person has the opportunity to abandon the existence in the body, to become digital by translating into a hologram. It is impossible to return back to the body. A holographic person still has memory, consciousness, sight, hearing, and the ability to speak. Ordinary people see holograms without special devices and can come into contact with them... A new technology that changes the existence of man. Evolution or another form of escape? This is what some of those who have already become a hologram are trying to understand.

Tree Branches

Musical film by actor Sergei Paranyushkin. One person in the frame. A loner in black jeans and a hat. Our contemporary. A man of the beginning of the 21st century. Pausing in his run to talk to himself. And with each of us. About the main thing. About the transience of the passage of time. About the disease of the century-the consumption of everything and everything, near and far. About the loneliness that burns us. About the people who make us who we are. About music as a divine gift. A salutary, timely word to a contemporary who drinks and drinks the cup of poison of the philosophy of infinite pleasure.

Extremists

In the forest of Karelia, local pensioners, who have been dubbed "Sun partisans", have been living in tents for several months, replacing each other. These people do not allow you to cut down the forest in which they have been collecting mushrooms and berries for decades. For some time now, the entire life of the "Sunsk partisans" has been spent in the forest, where a real headquarters has developed - here journalists come to them, here they are waiting for news from the court... And on February 8, representatives of the HRC arrived in Sunsky Bor.

A Better World

A Better World (2017) follows the process of the ballot counting for the 19th Presidential Election in South Korea. The election took place in 2017 subsequent to a series of Candlelight protests leading to the impeachment of the predecessor. The highly charged atmosphere and restless energy amongst volunteers are palpable in the attentive documentation of the arrival and opening of ballot boxes in the public eye. As the counting begins the footage is coupled with another frame, shot with a thermal imaging camera, unveiling the unseen layer of an already transparent process.

Pendadaktylos - So Close... Yet So Far

So close and yet, since the 1974 Turkish Invasion of Cyprus, so far given that we cannot freely visit and enjoy its beauty. This documentary, realised with the help of scientific consultants, undertakes a journey of familiarisation with the mountain range's unique geological development, its rich flora, and its superbly beautiful natural environment. A journey showcasing the resources openhandedly offered by the mountain range to its people, such as its mineral wealth, its building stones, its water, but also a familiarisation with the people who lived with these and were violently driven from their homes, becoming refugees in their very own country and who live and breathe with the hope and desire to once again see a reunified Cyprus.

More Than a Word

An exploration of Native American-based mascots, especially the Washington R*dskins, and their impact on real-life attitudes, issues, and policies. Through interviews with scholars, tribal leaders, lawyers, policy experts, activists, and Washington R*dskins fans, the film explores the history of the slanderous term "r*dskin," and delves into cultural stereotypes of Native Americans and their relationship to history. Ultimately, the film argues for representations that honor and celebrate the humanity of Indigenous people.

Sculpting the Body; a Theatre of Physicality

A contemporary theatre form often known simply as physical theatre – this documentary attempts to explore some of the creative processes involved in expressing a performative artform which includes the spoken word but originates primarily from the human body. It does this by following a group of actors and students in their attempts to embody everything from animals to colours to strange masks ... at the same time it links the work to certain aspects of human cognition, as well as underlining the importance of ‘play-and-error’ for the creative act.

Before My Feet Touch The Ground

Summer 2011. Daphni Leef, a young video editor, pitches a tent in Tel Aviv’s famous Rothschild Boulevard as a protest against the exorbitant cost of living in the city. Within days, thousands of people across the country follow suit, and create a national movement spearheaded by the charismatic and articulate Leef. Six years later, Leef revisits the events of that summer, which, though they did not bring about a significant change in policy, had a momentous impact on public awareness in Israel, and on her private life. As Israel finds itself once again in turmoil, Before My Feet Touch the Ground is a reminder of the power of hope and solidarity.
