Between Pictures: The Lens of Tamio Wakayama

Between Pictures: The Lens of Tamio Wakayama tells the epic journey of the late Japanese Canadian photographer Tamio Wakayama who decides to join the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in the deep south during the 1960’s American civil rights movement. Learning the art of dark room photography along the way, this transformative moment in time allows him to confront his own identity and return ‘home’ to the west coast of Canada to begin a body of photographic work that continues to celebrate, re-present and document the spirit of Japanese Canadians who resided in the former Paueru Gai/Powell Street neighborhoods.

Life on the Edge

Once greatly troubled himself – haunted by a friend’s death and his own brushes with violence – Nuka has turned his life around. He journeys through the remote indigenous settlements of Greenland, speaking about mental health and suicide prevention. Surrounded by vast glaciers and ice sheets, a land at the very edge of the world, Nuka works with a troubled teen, a phlegmatic hunter and a single mother; each has demons they are trying to come to terms with, and a desire to break with cycles of intergenerational trauma.

Jacob de Haan: A Voice Out of Time

The death of Jacob Israel de Haan is commemorated annually by both the ultra-Orthodox Jews of Neturei Karta in Jerusalem, and the LGBTQ community in Amsterdam. He is a pioneer for both. In the early twentieth century, he published the first LGBTQ novel in the Netherlands. He then returned to his Jewish roots, migrated to Palestine as a Zionist, but became the spokesperson for the Orthodox community, spearheading its fight against Zionism. He was still publishing queer poetry in Dutch. He was killed in Jerusalem in 1924, and his assassins were never caught. Today, never-before-heard audio recordings shed new light upon the mystery of the first Zionist political assassination.

Friends of the Ghetto

The young director Tomas Vynikal arrives at the Roma ghetto in search of humanity. With an authentic approach, he finds true friendship, but also human corruption. Everything is kept in the dark when the city of Prerov sells the ghetto together with its inhabitants to a private company for the purpose of new housing construction. This company will only go so far to demolish part of the houses and end up insolvent. The work is also a picture of current social problems in the Czech Republic, where human dwellings are meaninglessly devastated. These inhabitants receive new rental flats from the state, thus another ghetto is being created and society is moving in a catch 22 circle. The film contains time spent from September 2010 to September 2020.

Luckless Lake

Luckless Lake is a haunting portrait of an ancient ecosystem in decline, and the fragile human existence that struggles to survive within it. The film explores semi-abandoned villages, where the few remaining inhabitants face an uncertain future, devoid of hope. The “Khasham Neshi- nan,” nomadic tent dwellers living in half-stone, half-tent shelters, are weary with age, while the younger generation has forsaken their herding traditions for grueling work in the stone mines to the south. Through the lens of this desolate landscape, Bakhtegan Wetland becomes a grim reflection of nature’s collapse—an ecological tragedy that humankind remains blind to, despite its devastating impact.

Dickweed

Two people got kidnapped. One man lost his dick. No-one got any money. This heist-gone-horribly-wrong led one Newport Beach detective on an international manhunt for the most twisted criminal he’d ever hunted. In 2012, Michael, a local weed dispensary owner, got home from work and plopped down on the sofa like any other weeknight. Three hours later he was zip-tied and eating dirt as three men tried to beat him into admitting where he'd buried the million dollars. And he would have gladly told them rather than endure what happened next. The only problem was, he hadn't buried a million dollars, and after they tortured him and left him to die, he still had no idea who these men were.

Uma Breve História da Imprensa LGBT+ no Brasil

A documentary that explores the history and impact of magazines, newspapers, fanzines, and other journalistic media produced by and for the LGBTQIAPN+ community in Brazil. The idea for the documentary came about in 2020, during the pandemic, when the director began studying the history of the LGBTQIAPN+ press, an investigation that resulted in a video for the filmmaker's YouTube channel, published in 2021. The film presents an overview of the LGBTQIAPN+ press, from the mimeograph in the 1960s to the internet today, and is also a portrait of Brazilian society and the evolution of the rights achieved by this community.

Free Space

Under pressure from activist groups, art is increasingly being cancelled for ideological reasons, because of 'cultural appropriation' or because of the desire for a 'safe space'. The colour and gender of the artist seem to be all-determining in this. How do you relate to this as an artist? Is this a disturbing development or a sign of emancipation? And what does it mean for freedom of expression? Director Karin Junger investigates this with Anne-Fay Kops, Ted van Lieshout, Angel-Rose Oedit Doebé, Raymi Sambo, Boris van Berkum, Marian Markelo, Stephan Sanders and Thomas Chatterton Williams.
