Destroying Rejuvenates

The winter of 1960-1961 witnessed the longest general strike Belgium had seen since the Second World War: up to two months of total paralysis of the country in protest against an austerity law. Across countless archives, a multitude of individuals from all walks of life recount the initiatives they led at the time. But, surprisingly, instead of gray-haired veteran strikers, it is young people who tell us about these bursts of struggle, as if they were there, as if they had been.

The Crown's Ancient Forest

In the heart of Southern England lies a royal forest; a wild and magical place of ancient beauty that’s hardly changed since King William the Conqueror proclaimed it as his hunting grounds some 900 years ago. Stretching down from the famous Salisbury Plains to the rocky shores of the English Channel, the New Forest National Park is the largest and richest lowland wilderness in Britain, home to more ancient woods, mossy mires and rich heathlands than any other landscape in Europe.

They are responsible for the fish we eat, the rain that feeds our crops, the snow that covers our mountains - even the air we breathe, and they have been helping to keep the temperature of our planet just right for life for millions of years. As our young whale goes with the flow of the current on a great migration from the warm tropics to the frozen ice floes of Antarctica, she meets the curious creatures that call the current home.

Triángulos rosas

The story begins with stories and impressions of the protagonists about what the dictatorial regime meant for the trans community of the time. These impressions are intertwined with the personal experiences that the victims suffered at the hands of society and the police, and how the law of vagrants and thugs or the law of social dangerousness was used against them as a method of legal protection. The film also focuses on future generations and the privilege of living in a society that has achieved basic rights as a result of the struggle of previous generations, marked by a suffering that today drives us to continue the struggle.

Damascus Dreams

Émilie Serri was born in Canada. She had only visited Syria, her father’s country, a few times prior to the start of the civil war.

Serri studied old family photos and films, interviewed members of her family and other Syrians forced to flee their homeland, and in this documentary mixes her own memories with theirs. For some, Syria remains as alive and present as the scent of jasmine, while others' memories have already faded. They don’t usually talk about it, wishing to spare their children the traumas of the past: “They must look to the future.”
