Solex dans les prés

Kharis and Brindelune, two half-sister enemies, members of the same Parisian private detective agency, embark on a road-movie through the Mayenne region of France aboard an antique side-car. One of them has just been fired from the RAID following a blunder, the other, an inveterate blunderer, seems to have badly controlled superpowers. During this picaresque odyssey, often bordering on the burlesque, Kharis and Brindelune will meet Lionel and Arthur, two Solex enthusiasts absorbed in an improbable quest worthy of the Knights of the Round Table, as well as Pauline, an extravagant young woman around whom an unspeakable threat hovers.

Munay tanzt - Eine Besondere Reise

Munay, a lovable older lady, 75 years old, radically burns all bridges after 27 years of Black Forest idyll in order to find herself. She doesn't want a shared flat for senior citizens or a small room with concrete walls to become her new home - she just wants to get out into her beloved nature... Her journey on foot takes her right across Germany. From Constance to Flensburg. Alone, with a small tent and light luggage. Documentary Filmmaker Mario Kanzinger and his team accompanied her with the camera. Munay herself kept a mobile phone diary. From these authentic recordings, an intimate documentary film was made: "Munay dances - a special journey".

Julia

Holocaust survivor Victor I. takes the viewer on a deeply personal VR journey through his memories of the Second World War: The trauma of the Holocaust, the trauma of war and the trauma of being forcefully uprooted from home.

The experience is guided by audio recordings of Victor's testimonies and supported by stylised visualisations of his memories that are both re-created through his recollections and reimagined through his daughter who grew up with and inherited his memories.

Qatargate, The Secrets Of The World Cup

December 2, 2010: The Gulf state of Qatar is surprisingly chosen to host the 2022 World Cup, although many signs spoke against it. The football world is amazed: no football culture, a precarious human rights situation, poor infrastructure, hot desert climate. Who is voting for a World Cup that would endanger the lives of millions of fans and players? Rumors of corruption quickly surfaced. The autocratic state is very rich thanks to its deposits of fossil fuels. Bribes, collusion, contract awards: How far did the small Gulf Emirate go to get the World Cup? The research of the documentary film team leads to the trail of secret financial agreements between the emirate and large international companies, especially from France. The reporters get access to confidential documents, indications of corruption, but also violations of workers' labor rights on the World Cup construction sites. From France to Qatar, from Switzerland to Africa, the dark side of this World Cup will be revealed.

Mathuật – MMRBX

“Mathuật” is a combination of the artist’s name, Maithu, and the Vietnamese word for magic, ma thuật, while MMRBX is an acronym for the working term memory box. The work metaphorically associates the Vietnamese ritual of caring for the dead with an allegorical and virtual memory box that stores mnemonic moving images. Heavily contextualized within Southeast and East Asian mythology, where communication with the dead is an integral part of everyday life, Mathuật – MMRBX aims to excavate the wounded past of survivor diasporas (Việt Kiều) that remains invisible to most communities. The artist believes that in a world suffering from postcolonial amnesia, we resist by remembering, as it is impossible for the ghosts and spirits of historical traumas to rest in peace. Bùi aims to establish an archive of personal memories and transgenerational traumas that allows the Vietnamese diaspora to formalize a story of their own.

Cowboy

Across a two-channel video installation, voice, image, and sound combine to produce a meditative exploration into the story of a man named Cowboy. His background is marked by migration and shaped by his love for the equestrian, as he recounts a lifetime spent in service to horses. On the right channel we see the leaves of a palm tree rustling against a blue sky, alternated with images of the ocean. On the left, we follow the protagonist as he tends to and rides his horse. The strength and autonomy of the animal finds a compliment in the rider - a mutual responsibility develops and each grows to intuit movements of the other. As Cowboy reaches the sea, the two screens sonically coalesce. The cargo ships in the far distance are a reminder of the global economic trade central to Nigeria’s past and its future – as well as darker histories of exploitation, undocumented migration, and the shadow of forced displacement amid the transatlantic slave trade.

Le Pal : au coeur du zoo le plus insolite de France

Created almost 50 years ago, the PAL zoo combines an animal reserve and an amusement park on 35 hectares of green plains. Nearly 700,000 curious people go there every year. To attract even more people, PAL is embarking on gigantic work with the construction of an extraordinary hotel. This new high-end accommodation is based on a very fashionable concept: sleeping close to the animals. We also follow the reception of white rhinoceroses, the difficult integration of giraffes, and the births of baby wolves, but also, extremely rarely, that of a baby elephant.
