Quest for Atlantis: Lost Kingdoms, Buried Treasures and Mysterious Artifacts

It is estimated that the mythical city of Atlantis was swept away by a Tsunami in 9600 BC, vanquished from existence - but recent findings of ancient maps, monuments and submerged artifacts indicate that the Lost Kingdom may in fact have existed. The recent discovery of mummies, an underwater Stonehenge, monoliths, ancient drawings and much, much more could provide confirmation of one of Mankind's oldest mysteries.

Am Madadh-Allaidh

For 12,000 years wolves roamed Scotland. However, over three centuries ago, we exterminated them. This film reveals the rise and fall of the Scottish wolf and explores the question of whether they should be re-introduced. Wolves arrived as the last ice age ended, following the herds of deer and reindeer that crossed a now-lost land bridge from Europe. For thousands of years, wolves and humans shared the landscape as apex predators, with the wolf entering human art, myth and belief. However, farming put wolves and humans on a collision course, and, after centuries of persecution, wolves became extinct in Scotland. Since then, deer numbers have exploded, and many of Scotland’s woodlands have been stripped bare. Some argue for the wolf’s return. Could we, and should we, hear the howl of the wolf once more in the Highlands?

At the core of these memories is Kcey, a spirited young woman of Puerto Rican and African American heritage.

Recollections from her mother, father, sister, childhood friend, and a battle buddy capture the essence of Kcey, from her infectious laughter to her cherished moments under the Afghan sunsets. Each memory serves as a testament to a life lived passionately. However, heartbreak strikes when, amid war, a plane crashes, claiming Kcey's life. As they grapple with this devastating loss, her loved ones oscillate between despair and denial, occasionally seeking refuge in work or the numbing embrace of alcohol. Yet, as they collectively mourn, they discover solace in their shared memories of Kcey's radiant spirit.

Elements of a Journey: Antoni Tàpies

Elements of a Journey: Antoni Tàpies is an experimental documentary focusing on the legacy of Antoni Tàpies, the 20th century Catalan painter and sculptor who died in 2012. The film, which follows the artist growing up during the dictatorship of Franco, is strongly relevant to the divisive politics of today. Its goal is to engage viewers who are looking for stories of how artists personally navigate complex journeys; spiritual, political and everyday. Tàpies stood out in his lifetime, not only as a major painter but also as the voice of freedom and hope for an entire generation during a very dark period in Spain’s history.

Ausgerastet und abgestürzt: Der Fall des Angry German Kid

Be it as ‘Unreal Tournament Kid’, ‘KeyboardCrasher’, or ‘Angry German Kid’: Almost everywhere across the world this video of a youth who freaks out whilst playing on the computer and destroys his keyboard is known. Many still share it today as a meme when chatting without knowing that it was staged. Also: the young guy never uploaded the video himself. Powerless, he had to witness how it was shared and distorted countless times – how it destroyed a part of his life. Now, for the first time, Norman Kochanowski speaks with ZAPP about his story and the consequences of virality.

El sueño de la actriz

At the age of 17, she had the opportunity to appear on television, but she didn't, due to her insecurities. Sylvia remembers it as the day she almost fulfilled her dream of being famous thanks to her own songs. Using a camera that was at her side at all times, she documented her entire life: her children's childhood, her days as a physical education teacher, family vacations, but above all the private moments, where she allowed herself to act, sing and talk to a public that was not there.

Bloodlines of the Slave Trade

Bloodlines of the Slave Trade examines the lives of two people whose only connection is a genetic link to John Armfield, one of the most notorious slave traders of the 1830s. Rodney Williams, who is Black, and Susanna Grannis, who is white, each trace their ancestry back to their distant ancestor, detailing the diverging paths their lineages took. While their relationship to this past is fundamentally different, and they never meet in the film, they both share in the telling of the horrific domestic slave trade and the ongoing reverberations of slavery.

Guillermo Pérez Villalta. Del agua y el Mediterráneo

In the summer of 1996 Pablo Llorca did a long interview with Guillermo Pérez Villalta on the subject of water and the Mediterranean. They were five hours of recording, faded away immediately due to humidity problems and that had never been seen before. Recovered twenty-five years later, this is the result, where the painter's words are matched by images chosen by the filmmaker, in a descriptive relationship as well as a complementary reading.
