Mariposas Violeta

This short 40-minute documentary collects the testimony of twelve women survivors of sexual violence in Colombia. They were victims of the paramilitaries, the FARC and ELN guerrillas and agents of the State. Their heartbreaking testimony is the imprint of the deepest pain and, at the same time, the greatness of transforming it. Each of them agreed to speak after a process of more than five years with the No Time to Callar campaign, which has accompanied them and worked alongside them, at different times. Violet Butterflies, in addition to a journalistic short, is an act of memory.

#iorestoacasa

"#iorestoacasa" is a virtual artefact that visualises data relative to the COVID-19 pandemic in the form of a particle system. The most relevant data about the virus outbreak is mapped to variables that modify the shape and colour of the system. "#iorestoacasa" was conceived and developed during the ‘lockdown’that was introduced in Italy to combat the virus outbreak. At the beginning of hisconfinement, Spagnuolowatched the news to hear updates on the virus situation. However,like many others, hewas soonso overwhelmed by all the numbers, that they stopped making sense. That’s when hehad the idea to take the same data that made himfeel so uneasy and represent it in a more soothing way. The title of this work, which translates to ‘stay home’, is a tribute to the communal effort that permitted a haltto the spread of the virus and relieved pressure on the healthcare system.

Rob Burrow: My Year with MND

This moving documentary follows Rob Burrow as he shows the same spirit in his fight against motor neurone disease as made him a hugely admired rugby league star. His family and friends – including former teammates Kevin Sinfield and Barrie McDermott – also give their insight into this remarkable man. Burrow was prompted to raise awareness for research into the condition, including regular appearances on BBC Breakfast, after meeting former Scotland rugby union legend and fellow motor neurone disease sufferer Doddie Weir. Burrow was diagnosed with the degenerative disease, for which there is no cure, barely two years after ending his stellar playing career by helping Leeds Rhinos to a record-extending eighth Super League grand final in autumn 2017. As the disease takes its toll physically, Burrow speaks of his determination to live as normal a life as possible and explains how his rugby career has prepared him for the challenge.

Since the day I was born

Since the day I was born is composed through a reflection on remorse and the search for mental liberation from the death of the individual. In the short film, barely two minutes long, an anonymous man remembers all the moments in which he has failed in the game of life; moments in which he has made mistakes, or has chosen the wrong option, harming someone close to him or himself, while his body hangs from a rope and is little by little deprived of oxygen. He regrets what he has experienced since the day he was born, but he also regrets the drastic decision he has just made.

Sensory Overload

Sitting on the bus after a long day, the mother drifts away from reality in her existential experiences. Images of hair braided in dreadlocks, a ritual mask drowning in the sunlight, and a smoking cigarette become companions on her journey through the labyrinths of mind. Sensory Overload blurs the concepts of space, time, and form with the help of Natacha Muzira’s poem about the liberating power of imagination, voiced off-screen. In Rwanda, a country with a developed oral culture, it is the word that becomes the catalyst for unlocking the potential of cinematic tropes.

Le festin des animaux

In the heart of our forests, the death of an animal is synonymous with a feast. In the Bavarian Forest National Park, a team of researchers is trying to gain a better understanding of the phenomena and interactions that accompany animal corpses. Little is known about the complex cycle of death in woodland species: larvae developing in carcasses, organisms modifying their chemical composition, plants transforming the nutrients contained in corpses... From the tiniest mouse to the imposing red deer, decomposing bodies provide refuge for tiny life forms and become a source of food for opportunists.
