White Angel – The End of Marinka

Weeks after the Russian attack, Vasyl begins to document the suffering and death in his eastern Ukrainian homeland. The police officer's helmet camera runs for months on the evacuation missions in the ambulance called "White Angel". These are close-ups of a brutal war of aggression, to which the civilian population in particular falls victim. In the documentary by Leipzig author and journalist Arndt Ginzel, rescuers and survivors have their say. Looking back, they talk about the fall of their city; Marinka no longer exists today.

Mandela

It's 1960. Young activist, Nelson Mandela, rallies the people of South Africa to protest against the racial segregation of apartheid. In 1962 he is arrested and sentenced to life in prison, where he will spend the next 27 years, taken from his wife and children, as the fight for freedom sweeps his country. Infused with the rhythms of South Africa, this soaring new musical tells the extraordinary story of a man who changed the course of modern history—the sacrifices he made as a husband and father, and the global movement that inspired him and his comrades to keep fighting.

Shaping Ladies, A History of Bra

March 2020, the world is closing in under the brutal intrusion of Covid 19. Women stay at home like anyone else and many of them drop artifices that become useless without the pressure of the outside gaze. Some of them give up wearing a bra as a form of reappropriation of one's body. However, when Herminie Cadolle presented her first bra prototype a century earlier, this former Communard, wanted to free the woman's body from the shackles of the corset. A Western invention, it conquered all continents: exported by the colonizers, then by the GIs, it was adopted by all the women in the world. Today 1.46 billion bras are produced every year. The film traces the history of this piece of cloth by revisiting its role in society. Both an object of desire and a constraint, the bra tells the story of women’s liberation.
