Secrets of Midway Island: Fishing Virgin Waters

The film gives us a glimpse back at what fishing the Hawaiian Islands a hundred years ago was like. Join us as we head out to a tiny coral atoll located in the middle of the Pacific about halfway between the continental United States and Japan twelve hundred miles north of Honolulu known as Midway. Midway is the most remote inhabited land mass on the planet and has been closed to all but military personnel since the second World War. But in 1996 the island was opened for the first time to civilians and you can image how good the fishing was. A strategic Naval Air Facility since being bombed by the Japanese on their way to Perl Harbor forcing the United States into World War II, a 200 nautical mile, no-fly, no-marine traffic "Forbidden Zone" surrounding the entire atoll was initiated during the war and had remained in place until 1996.

No Somos De Aquí, Ni Somos De Allá

"I was born and raised along the United States-Mexico border and inhabited both countries while growing up," says Leo Aguirre, a first-generation Mexican-American writer and director.

Aguirre shines a spotlight on young people's experiences of growing up in the culture of two countries. The delicately shot portraits reaveal the rich diversity of thought and expression from people who consider themselves both Mexian and American. "The film had been percolating in my mind for over two years," says Aguirre. "It consists of a lot of internal dialogues that I've had with myself as a filmmaker and as a first-generation American.

In Transit, Identity and Love in Europe

The film follows six people with dual European nationalities for four years. Some of them are confronted with the current political events in Europe, like the Brexit, the Catalan crisis in Spain, yellow vests in France – and in the end the (possible) consequences of Covid 19. At the same time, we see their personal lives: some of them get engaged or get married, but things don’t always go as the protagonists would like – or as the director would like. ‘In Transit’ shows the implications that politics have on the microlevel of people’s lives and gives the recent political events in Europe a human dimension. The film is also a personal journey into a continent that is going through some big changes.
