Everywhere, throughout all epochs and civilisations, human beings have experienced and expressed the sacred, thus questioning the mystery and the enigma of human existence. Compared to other animal species, we have this strange uniqueness: that of wanting to give an ultimate meaning to existence and to enter into a relationship with invisible forces or entities. From this experience and from the fundamental quest for what we call "the sacred", all the religious and spiritual traditions of humanity have developed throughout history.

In the deeply meditative, 40-minute video triptych Kum: Soul of the Shadow (2021), we are confronted with a magnificent ancient Banyan tree that occupies a central place in an Ogoni village, around which the community gathers to make important decisions. The tree is named “Kum” by the people that live around it. Interacting with the tree is The Invisible Boy, a figure that appears in the works of Saro-Wiwa and represents a messenger between worldly dimensions. The work is a vision of the relationship between man and tree from an interdimensional spiritual lens. A place where the susurrations of the leaves and the singing of the birds take on a new meaning and where the human breath speaks and converses with the being of the tree. Together they suggest a winged angelic force and the revelation of a psycho-spiritual ecological system, forever at work, hidden in plain sight.

Evocation of the artistic and cinematic expression of 1960s and 1970s’ public television in Italy.

The character, a young female viewer, committed to exploring and trying out a new medium, carries us through time. Blurring the lines between document and creation, the film places the viewer between the early age period of television and the period of time she spends in the room, between memory and imagination, utopia and experimentation.

Magic in the Mountains tells the remarkable underdog story of how Squaw Valley, a little-known ski area in California, won the bid for the 1960 Winter Olympics and, with the help of Walt Disney, changed forever the ways in which the Games were presented. The documentary features never-before-seen archival footage from the 1960 Olympic Games and revealing interviews with participating athletes and attendees. The 1960 edition of the Olympics introduced a substantial array of “firsts,” including such innovations as live broadcast, instant replay, sponsorships, and an official Olympic Village for the athletes. Perhaps most importantly, thanks to Disney’s involvement in producing the Games, Squaw Valley featured an unprecedented — but soon to be standard — level of pageantry for the opening and closing ceremonies.

The siege began on 8 September 1941, when the Wehrmacht severed the last road to the city. Although Soviet forces managed to open a narrow land corridor to the city on 18 January 1943, the Red Army did not lift the siege until 27 January 1944, 872 days after it began. The blockade became one of the longest and most destructive sieges in history, and it was possibly the costliest siege in history due to the number of casualties which were suffered during it. In the 21st century some historians have classified it as a genocide due to the systematic starvation and intentional destruction of the city's civilian population.

Feature documentary on the antics of North American Latvian youth in the 1980s, during the last years of the Cold War – from chaining themselves to the Russian Embassy, to organizing an entire cruise ship treading the Soviet border in the Baltic Sea – generating headlines when few could even find Latvia on a map. The main hero is Juris Bļodnieks’ old Chrysler Valiant “Slant Six” that has been in storage for 25 years: painted with anti-Soviet slogans such as “Nyet, nyet Soviet!” and “Go(rbachev) to hell!”. A generation of US Latvians remembers the car appearing in demonstrations across North America. Day to day, while driving around his home state of New Jersey, Juris used the car to further the seemingly hopeless task – to free an illegally occupied Latvia.
