Breaking Point: Inside the World of Burnout

They are engineers, hairdressers, communications managers, students or headmasters. Like them, hundreds of thousands of people are affected by burnout syndrome every year in France and around the world. Thousands of men and women of all ages who have suddenly collapsed, unable to move forward. In the absence of a precise diagnosis, this invisible and insidious disease slowly eats away at those who suffer from it without knowing it. So why is burn-out not recognized as an illness by the WHO? How can you spot the symptoms before it's too late? What are the warning signs? And what tools do we have to deal with it? In Europe and North America, initiatives are being put in place to prevent the onset of the disease and measure its cost to society. In France, structures are being set up to care for victims and reintegrate them into society. However, there still seems to be a long way to go before mental health in the workplace becomes a priority in today's world.

Cue the Strings - A Film About Low

Cue the Strings - a film about Low follows the entire career of the iconic band Low and their relationship with director Philip Harder. Low and Harder made music videos and short films together, filming on ice, in railroad yards, and in rapidly disintegrating rooms. Low formed in 1993. Before the band’s debut record, Harder, armed with a 16mm camera, filmed the band on Lake Superior in minus-30 windchill. At the time Low bucked rock protocol by turning their volume down and the haunting visuals helped define their minimalist approach. As Low matured they turned up and the lyrics grew more aggressive. The visuals followed suit. Year after year Harder continued to film Low’s music until the band’s last show in September 2022.

Rohna Classified

2,000 US soldiers board a British transport ship without any idea that the lifeboats are rusted so badly that they could never be launched. They’re issued lifebelts that need to be inflated instead of standard Naval life jackets. The following day the ship is sunk by one of the first radio-guided missiles ever used in war, killing 1157 soldiers and crew in what remains the greatest loss of life at sea due to enemy action in the history of US war. The government deflected responsibility for the large loss of life by declaring the attack classified indefinitely and ordering all survivors to remain silent.

Kumva – Which Comes from Silence

Quietly and discreetly, the French director Sarah Mallégol follows a group of thirty-something protagonists who survived the 1994 Rwanda genocide as children. They have no memory of the events – neither those whose fathers were murdered nor those whose parents were responsible. A confrontation begins: focused conversations between generations which, captured by a gentle camera, are meant to cautiously break the long silence – in order to be able to understand, process and mourn.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar: Now & Then

Through the discerning lens of a Bahujan feminist filmmaker operating within the upper-caste Indian film industry, the film delves deep into critical themes of liberty, equality, fraternity, social justice, exclusion, and marginalised representation. Bridging the realms of Ambedkarite politics with the visual language of cinema, it offers a poignant representation of the culture, history, and politics of marginalised communities within popular cinema and media. A cinematic embodiment of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s philosophical legacy, as it questions the deeply rooted institution of caste in India, the film becomes a powerful commentary on religion, revolution, politics, and the fundamental right to freedom of speech.

A Common Rhythm

A document of urban development patterns, this one focusing on the redevelopment of the North Branch Industrial Corridor into the eventual Lincoln Yards mixed-use development project. The momentary qualities of each stage of development are captured in each film of this larger project: visual forms of the built environment in various states of decay and construction, the everyday theatrics of people moving about the streets and sidewalks, and the resulting sounds of all of this motion and change.

What can objects tell us about the past and what are the limits of that knowledge? The film is an outline of a new form merging art and scholarship, focusing on the history of material culture, our notion of history and on the ways we use the past.
