Everything is Fine. I'm Sleeping

In Belarus, the presidential elections of 2020 triggered massive protests and brutal repressions when «concerned» citizens began to report random strangers, their own coworkers, friends, and even relatives to the police—those who participated in protest actions or those who simply publicly voiced their opinion. What was the motivation behind such calls? Who are these people? How do they live today? This will be discussed in the documentary "Everything is fine. I'm sleeping."

Fiaker – A echts Weana Kind

The hackney carriage, once the fastest means of transportation for aristocrats and commoners, is now a cliché-ridden Viennese cultural asset, a popular tourist attraction and an object of hate for animal rights activists. Like the beggars, the hackney carriages are "children of the street". Their stand is their village square. They know the locals, they are hated or loved. The rhythm of the horses determines their pace and they are dependent on tourism. Ulli Gladik and her team portray five horse-drawn carriage drivers: we are with them in the stables, see them on their tours, experience them at their stables in St. Stephen's Cathedral, handling their horses and in discussions with animal rights activists. A film about passion, cliché and tradition, the relationship between animals, humans and the big city and a Viennese cultural asset threatened with extinction.

Climate Diary

In Climate Diary (2020), a fixed-camera chronicle captures the subtleties of climate shifts, paralleling the lock down experience. The film challenges viewer norms by favoring evocative soundscapes over constant action. This deliberate departure immerses audiences in a contemplative space, where the synergy of image and sound propels the narrative. As the documentary unfolds, the fusion of voice and music at the conclusion provides an abstract resonance that lingers, inviting viewers to explore time's intricate dance and discover beauty in the tranquility

Laulumaiden muisto - karjalaisia lakeuksilla

After the end of the war, Finland had to find a new home for a total of about 430,000 evacuees, of which about 407,000 were Karelians. Laulumaiden muisto is an emotional documentary film that tells the story of the evacuees from Karelia and their descendants who were placed in the region of South Ostrobothnia. It sheds light on how the emigrants who lost their homes were able to preserve their own identity and why Karelia still fascinates and interests future generations. The war in Ukraine, which broke out in the middle of filming, made the documentary surprisingly timely.

Spring is Spring also in Town

Two men are driving through the streets of Milan to transport a mysterious box. Their route is the source of other routes, which reveal an awareness of the city that was previously dormant. An awareness that is given to the viewer by the stories of the two men, now presented: Leonetto Di Ciolo and Felice Trovati. Felice is also the builder of a particular object, the Revisionist Bicycle, a pendulum clock constructed from bicycle parts that can alter the passage of time. We discover that it is precisely this totem that is the object transported at the beginning of the film, and that the two protagonists are on a mission: to place the bicycle-clock in a specific spot in the city, because Spring, understood as a form of endurance of wonder for apparently useless things, is Spring also in the city.

The Animal Thing

The Animal Thing charts the struggles of Andrew Linzey, a cantankerous and unwilling subject for his son Adam. This is the story of a man who spoke out as a progressive voice in the Anglican Church, a polarizing force at the University of Oxford, and as a tireless campaigner for animal rights, on a range of issues from fox hunting and seal clubbing, to vivisection. Today, Andrew considers himself a failure. But despite the immense price he has paid for confronting the cruelty of animal exploitation, Andrew has also had an enormous and, until now, largely unheralded impact on the modern animal movement.
