Death in the Desert: The Nurse Helen Mystery

In 1979, 23 year old British nurse Helen Smith died in suspicious circumstances in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi authorities quickly ruled it an accident, but their refusal to investigate further created international mystery, with accusations that the Thatcher government was more interested in oil than justice. Now, 45 years on, previously classified documents reveal in this documentary what the British government really knew about Helen's death.

Queer in der Provinz

The queer community has long since established itself in large cities, but in rural areas, queer people live less publicly. And when they do, worlds often collide. The documentary shares silent struggles, but also moments of solidarity. The film takes an in-depth look at the challenges, but also the hopes and successes of queer people in rural areas. It shows how social change and greater acceptance can develop in smaller towns. The province is more than just the antithesis of the big city - it can be a place of change in which queer people find their own ways to assert their place.

From Nightlife To Nightmare

The Hamas terror attack had dramatic consequences for people in Israel, the Gaza Strip and around the world. Here, we hear individual stories from people living in Tel Aviv. What were their lives like before 7 October 2023? What’s their current perception of the war? What do they see, when they look to the future? In the summer of 2023, Tel Aviv was a lively, liberal and open metropolis, known as the “Mediterranean Capital of Cool”. Then came October 7, and changed everything. Here, people’s lives are forever divided: into ‘before’, and ‘after’. Club owners, culture workers, restaurateurs, LGBTQ activists and architects share very personal insights into a traumatized society. And they’ve not given up hope for better times once the war is over.

Shadow of the Valley

For a little over a year, I filmed and spliced ​​together different moments of which, to be honest, I don't remember much. The final result was edited onto two 600ft reels. There is no chronological progression, only fragments of a diary that I like to see as imaginary. I started filming in the spring with the aim of testing eight cameras. I filmed when I felt like it, day after day, and by the time summer arrived, I had accumulated a few reels and other old cameras. So in the winter, I decided to give shape to a film containing mistakes, notes, drafts, moments, and walks with pretty girls in the shadow of the valley where I grew up. "Shadow of the Valley" is my most personal and intimate work, made for myself only. I think anyone else will find it fake, self-centered, and downright pretentious.

Iron Love

A man in green shorts stands ready, an iron and a red blanket in front of him. The man begins to iron the blanket. Shortly afterwards, a woman in a yellow sweater stands there and begins to iron the same blanket. Together they take turns ironing. But despite their efforts, the blanket remains wrinkled, because the creases they are trying to smooth out are the very ones they themselves are causing. What begins as a joint activity soon escalates into a conflict. Conceived as a loop, the film deals with themes such as control, naivety, and the bittersweet hope for renewal, inviting viewers to find parts of themselves in the simplicity of everyday objects.

A voz de todas as cousas

Could we listen to the song of our first love without remembering the place? Four jazz musicians play in a club in the city. They communicate through glances and silences. There are hardly any people left on the streets, the last buses of the night pass by, shops close, garbage trucks rumble, waves crash against the rocks, and the light from the lighthouse appears and disappears in the water. As if it were the end of the world. The next morning, the sounds will shine in the bright light of day.

Mascon: A Massive Concentration Of Black Experiential Energy

Think of Mascon: A Massive Concentration Of Black Experiential Energy as an audiovisual investigation into the gestures, geometries, grammars and geographies that compose the forms and the forces of the films of Ousmane Sembene and Djibril Diop Mambety from 1963 to 2004. As an audiovisual mosaic of still moving images and sounds adapted from the frames of the narratives of Mambety and Sembene in order to circulate in a migratory orbit that summons the borderless imagination of the cine-Sahel. As morphologies that amplify the Sembenean and Mambetyan motifs of Cinemafricana until they assail the imagination with the expansive deformation, centrifugal contraction, compacted compression and amassed concentration that Stephen Henderson calls ‘Mascon’ or ‘black experiential energy’.
