Vivaldi – Le génie des "Quatre saisons"

One of today's most widely performed composers, Antonio Vivaldi was an equally acclaimed artist in his own lifetime, whose career was as fascinating as it was atypical. Vivaldi was born in the dynamic, liberal Republic of Venice in 1678, the son of a barber and violinist. Alongside his violin studies, the young virtuoso embarked on an ecclesiastical career. He was hired as a music teacher at the Ospedale della Pietà hospice for orphans, where he formed the first female orchestra in history. He composed numerous pieces of sacred, choral and instrumental music for the residents, before writing his first operas, including the triumphant Orlando furioso. At the height of his powers, Vivaldi's works - including the Four Seasons, one of the first so-called "program music" works in history - triumphed throughout Europe.

This documentary, born from Validarte, a cultural association that works with neurodiverse people through art, and the French production company ImyProd, is a scientific and spiritual quest to understand our capacity to co-create reality and the importance of diversity and respect for all beings, regardless of their differences.

Namibia's Number Nine

Thomalina Adams is currently one of the best footballers in the Namibian national team. A few years ago, she even qualified for the second league of the VFL Bochum. Her nickname Pele, which she has been wearing since childhood, especially on the football field, is therefore hardly surprising.

Namibian Football Association (NFA) structures and traditional role models make it difficult for girls and women to make progress in football. The film follows Thomalina, who left her hometown at the age of 14 to become a professional footballer. The reason for this is the establishment of the ‘NFA Galz & Goals’ project, which promotes girls ’football. As a football ambassador, she wants to encourage girls to take up the sport, as in Namibia, football gives many people security and is an alternative to the streets where alcohol and drugs determine everyday life.

On the Front Line With Mexico’s Warring Cartels

"The end of 2021 will mark 15 years since the start of Mexico's 'guerra contra el narcotráfico,' a war against drug trafficking that officially began in December 2006, when thousands of soldiers were deployed to topple the cartel terrorizing the state of Michoacán. The war soon spread and plunged the entire country into a downward spiral of violence that continues today. "The current war in Michoacán is between the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel or CJNG, led by a notorious kingpin known as El Mencho, and an alliance of groups known as the United Cartels. Some communities also rely on citizen-led militias to battle the cartels. "VICE News reporter Keegan Hamilton and producer Miguel Fernández Flores traveled to the epicenter of the conflict in Michoacán, meeting cartel members on both sides and seeking to understand if anything will or can change for the better."
