Wild Folk

Meet Marcus Tribe, a fifth-generation forester, one of Britain’s last woodsmen. He lives in his wooden yurt on a 6-acre woodland in Devon and has spent over 20 years preserving the land and living self-sufficiently. Now in his older years, as he witnesses the climate crisis, he wishes to share his lifetime of knowledge in the hope of inspiring younger generations to reconnect with the land. Marcus’ hopeful wisdom believes what ancestral people taught; “that what you did in your lifetime wasn’t for you, it was for the next seven generations… So you made sure you left Mother Nature in the same condition for them.

Un popolo. Uno stato

Talking about the story of the Gaza genocide with other images and other words is possible. The discovery of some slides in a high school in Catania is the starting point for analyzing the origins of Israel's military occupation of Gaza by resorting to the etymology of the words used to describe what expressions like "terrorist" or "military occupation" mean, while the drawings of Amos, an Israeli child who portrays his imaginary friend Anya under the worried gaze of the babysitter May Golan, point out that most horror stories have deep roots in everyday life. Invention and black humor try to overcome the (denied) reality of an apartheid and a normalized genocide, exposed and simultaneously removed.

Between The Lines

2017 - I am travelling to Russia with a German tour group. I take the diary of Wehrmacht soldier Buff, killed in action in 1942 when he tried to give first aid to a Russian soldier, as my travel reading. Our itinerary intersects with places where he fought. I grew up in Russia. My grandmother toiled in Stalin's camps. 2022 - the conflict that Russia's attack on Ukraine triggered in me runs through the film. The journey to Russia was characterised by encounters between people whose parents' or grandparents' had common experiences - those of the Second World War. In brief moments of rapprochement, many questions remain unanswered - especially about the purpose of war.

Mer intérieure

"Mer intérieure" is a reflection on perception, where we follow Jamila and Robert, a couple of high-level athletes with visual impairments, during a sea trip on their sailboat. This film explores their unique experience of navigation. The color grading oscillating between blue and red, creates a visual language that moves away from usual conventions, evoking their inner resonances. The soundtrack, composed by Meryll Ampe, combines sounds recorded at sea with repetitive music. This colorimetric and sound treatment creates an atmosphere inviting to feel the nuances of perception at sea.

Bug Chasers: The Men Who Want HIV

'It’s a Sin' actor Nathaniel Hall investigates the world of ‘bug chasing’, an extreme and controversial sexual fetish where people actively seek to contract HIV. The actor meets a 'chaser', a man who doesn’t take PrEP – a medication which prevents HIV from getting into the body – in his quest to contract the virus. He also interviews another man, a so-called ‘gifter’ with a detectable viral load, who is happy to transmit the virus to willing recipients. More than four decades since the first HIV diagnosis, the virus still has the potential to cause serious illness, so why do those within the ‘bug chasing’ community embrace it?
