Moscow Time

A documentary about a group of poets of the Moscow underground of the 70s of the last century, who published the uncensored almanac "Moscow Time", which during the "Brezhnev stagnation" was equated with dissidence and "treason to the Motherland", poets were persecuted and forced to leave the country. Their destinies developed differently – the tragic death of Soprovsky, the forced emigration of Kenzheev and Tsvetkov, the throwing of Gandlevsky only strengthened their "union" through the years and distances. Today they are not only a legend of Moscow, but also one of the best poets of our time both in Russia and abroad, every year they come to Moscow to meet again and see their fans and admirers of real poetry.

The Quoddy Fold

"The Quoddy Fold" is an intimate interaction between a woman and a derelict coastal house. In this one-hour film Phillips dismantles and studies the movement from wood to dust, damp paper to mold, and ponders the house folding back into the land and sea. Phillips' performance constantly seeks evidence of dissolving boundaries, thingness, history and intersubjectivity of space, place and species. Through the poetics of the ruin "The Quoddy Fold" is an interrogation of dwelling and landscape giving space to entertain the ecological, cultural and societal anxieties surrounding impermanence.

That Apart

"The troubles created a generation of escapologists. My generation became experts in the art ofdisappearances and denials followed by ignominious returns. My memory is fatally fractured, it divides and subdivides and disintegrates, but never outgrows its causes." Sandra Johnston. Negotiating personal and historical narratives in relation to sectarian violence in Northern Ireland, "That Apart" extends an ongoing collaboration between performance artist Sandra Johnston and filmmaker Richard Ashrowan. Compiled from a five-day encounter inside a bare gallery at the Project Arts Centre, Dublin, a seriesof singular actions and gestures evolve, transitional moves that Johnston describes as an ‘autopsy of performative gestures’ from her 27 years of practice. Performing directly for camera, a solitary, exacerbated relationship to the artist’s body emerges.

Not Moldova 1937

"In another virtuoso turn, the artist brings her exemplary camera eye to Moldova, home of her grandparents, before they were driven out along with their Jewish comrades, thousands of them killed. Fragments of survivor testimonials mix with archival photographs and objects, along with present-day city celebrations (what is being forgotten in these civic rites of memory?). Haunted natural scapes grow over the dead, the abandoned graveyards and stones mark the places where culture and community used to be performed. This is a synoptic act of grieving, but also: a summoning of the present, a conjuring of the thousand ways that the betrayals of neighbours and friends marked out the Jews who had lived peaceably amongst them for generations, newly caught now in a terror of state oppression and greed."- Mike Hoolboom

Cadê o bonde que passava aqui?

A tram track is found in archaeological excavations for the construction of the Faria Lima subway, in Largo da Batata, the main region in the west of São Paulo. Taking the symbolic concepts of archeology on loan, the documentary goes in search of the “horizons” of history, memory and now, which portray narratives of the residents, shopkeepers and neighborhood goers. As in an excavation, the short investigates the history of Pinheiros from the indigenous village to the occupations of today, going through layers of time to understand urban processes and imagine future for the city.
