Drawing inspiration from traditional weaving techniques, oral storytelling, and contemporary modes of production, Tiɣrist - The Threads of Exile invites reflection on textile as a language of resistance and a vessel of memory - a sensitive archive. This narrative is rooted in the migration of the artist’s family from Bouira, Algeria - a region known for its textile craftsmanship and pottery, where manual labor was accompanied by collective songs and poetry — to Roubaix, France, the former industrial capital of textiles. This displacement profoundly transformed their relationship to work, to others, and to belonging. It is part of a broader history: that of the rural exodus driven by the promise of urban life, where the pursuit of emancipation often intertwines with experiences of loss and uprooting. A symbolic resonance emerges as well, since Roubaix is an anagram of Bouira, differing by only one letter.

What to do with rushes that, for almost twenty years, have regularly irritated your memory without ever forming, in your eyes, a coherent whole? What to do with a film project whose obviousness collapsed shortly after shooting?

How can you transform a shapeless mess into a satisfying plot for a comedy? Shooting a documentary, editing a fiction film. But are there other ways of doing things?

Inspired by the question of how to deal with fear of the unknown, performance artists Merette van Hijfte and Samuel van Keeken embarked on a 600-kilometer backward pilgrimage on the famous Camino de Santiago. Along with their dachshund, Murphy, they begin their journey at the French-Spanish border. For days, they walk backward through rolling meadows, sun-drenched forests, and high, cold mountains. The world doesn't come to them, but moves away from them. This perspective casts the journey to Santiago in a completely new light. One of transience, beauty, and presence. After 50 days, they arrive at Santiago de Compostela. The unknown is no longer something unknown, but an invitation to slow down.

Fascinatingly, moors are both water and land. They are home to rare plants, special animals, and enormous amounts of carbon. However, these unique ecosystems are now rarely found in Germany. For economic reasons, 95 percent of them have been drained, posing a massive threat to our climate. Drainage turns climate protectors into climate killers, emitting huge amounts of carbon dioxide every year. In this film, researchers, farmers, and politicians have their say. How can these areas be successfully renaturalized? It won't be easy.

A drift between two cities: Berlin and Quito. A sensitive voice challenges the boundaries of reason through questions born from the everyday: Have you ever thought about how many calculations you make in a day? Prices, distances, inflation, schedules. Do you see your breasts beneath the blue robe? Why did they leave me the necklace but take my underwear? The audiovisual narrative seeks to reach the point where the meaning of hegemonic logic fractures, blending the documentary code with rhetorical elements characteristic of science fiction.

Ten years ago, young Syrian Alayham fled civil war, and the threat of being drafted, for Germany. There, he became one of the first refugees in Eckernförde – there were six of them at the time, he later remembers. Quickly learning German, he got politically involved in refugee projects, and spoke publicly about his experiences. A move to Jena for university followed: a new everyday life with exam stress, living in a shared flat, a relationship. It was during his studies that he finally felt that he was no longer being reduced to his experience as a refugee: he belonged. Alayham found his feet, as much as possible in a foreign country. But when is “arriving” truly over? Over a period of ten years, documentary filmmaker Fredo Wulf accompanied Alayham on his journey from Schleswig-Holstein via Jena to Heidelberg, where he has lived since getting his medical license.

How do historical revisionism and negationism work today? The film examines this question using the example of the peace statues for the "comfort women" of World War II—victims of human trafficking—which are to be removed from public spaces. It is a rarely told story of decades of revisionism and worldwide resistance. The victims were mostly poor women and girls whose stories were long ignored. Can denial and erasure completely wipe out the past? Will the truth remain hidden forever, or will it be replaced by an idealized past?

Through Soul of the Foot, Mustafa Uzuner delivers a meditation in three movements that reflect a piece of Turkish history: the country’s interrupted attempt to join the European Union, which is still pending. The film spans 25 years and explores the intimate and collective memory of this project. First, families and the media gather to bear witness to the 1999 eclipse. Then, there’s a leap in time as politics infiltrates the filmmaker’s daily life and family interactions in the context of the country entering into negotiations. Finally, a present time unfolds like an urban symphony, where a collection of fragments of existence, captured on film, documents the aftermath. Without nostalgia or resentment, this essay attempts to animate Turkey’s past and future potential with sensitivity and detail.
