A Jobless World?

The "Uberisation" of the world is upon us, as we’re all aware. But it might be only a foretaste of what awaits us in the near future: will it be an unprecedented disruption in the history of mankind or quite simply the end of most of the working population? Unlike the industrial changes of the last two centuries, the huge shift of the 21st century deals with the brain, and its playground is the services and tertiary sectors. What will the consequences be for employment over the next ten years? "A Jobless World?" offers an investigation into the genesis of this new world.

Anina

A container ship is not an inanimate object. The ship that travels thousands of miles on the high seas is full of life, stories, tragedy and hope. The harbours reached, the industrial landscape one encounters, the cargo that floats in an endless ocean. Anina is a psycho-geographic film essay, documenting the ethnographic tendencies of the industrial landscape and its malevolent stature over the individual. The shipping industry’s ever-shifting landscape, affecting even this interaction you are having with this text, crafts its own mythology.

Black to Freedom

Opening on his own birth in Africa and then on his discovery of Fela Kuti, Romeo Sahi weaves links between his journey and that of Fela, both inscribed in the history that transcends them, that of the Black man. Through archive images, meetings around the world and interviews with sociologists, philosophers, historians, musicians, artists or biographers, the author takes us on a spiritual and existential journey. We cross the history of slavery, segregation and pan-Africanism, punctuated by ethereal beats, letting ourselves be invaded by the breath of words and saxophone.

Heinrich Böll's 100th Birthday

On December 21, 2017, the writer Heinrich Böll would have turned 100. In the Federal Republic, Böll, who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1972, was tremendously present and well-known. His criticism of media hectoring, his commitment to peace and his solidarity with the weaker made him, the writer, a kind of moral authority. Whoever wants to get to know him anew today - 33 years after his death - discovers a personality with amazingly modern, timelessly topical sides, with themes and concerns that today, far more than 30 years after his death, have a completely new meaning again: Anti-fascism, pacifism, the fight against media agitation, personal freedom, solidarity and comprehensive humanity. In Tina Srowig's documentary, Böll's son René, his publisher Reinhold Neven DuMont and friends and companions recall important stages, great successes, turbulent conflicts and very human, moving and amusing moments in the writer's life.

A bar on Majorca

Essen, Germany. Two obsolete apparitions: Super 8mm film stock, Kodachrome K40, exposed 30 years past its expiry date – and the far-right National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD). A short film on the human tendency to find patterns in noise. A film on conspiracy theory, on the state of the left, and on how ideology is transported through the selection of seemingly neutral facts. The title alludes to the NPDs former national chairman, who, since leaving the party in 2013, owns a bar in Palma.

Survival Signs

Survival Signs deals with the problem of language as an organ of taste, cause of the loss of paradise and instrument of language. It leased men to build the Tower of Babel to reach heaven and surpass God, after which God punished them by destroying their unity. By using electronic language, echographical and televised images, Survival Signs dismantles the loss of the power of understanding and communication of language. As an example, the video presents the fight for survival or Iraqi children deprived of food - a way of cutting off their tongues. And what forbidden fruit had they tasted? What language would we like them to speak? That of having or that or being? Or, do we simply hope that they die without uttering a word?
