"King of the Jews" is a film about fear and transcendence. Utilizing Hollywood movies, 1950's educational films, personal home movies and religious films spanning the history of cinema, the filmmaker depicts his childhood fear of Jesus Christ. These childhood recollections are a point of departure for larger issues, including the roots of Christian anti-Semitism and the need for forgiveness and healing.

"The discovery of KAWASE Noami's film changed my life. In the spring of 2002 when I cam to present my films to Alba, I have the opportunity to have a discussion with her for the magazine- La Lettre du Cinéma. Unfortunately my recorder didn't work; therefore I had to use my small DV. The magazine published the artical, but I kept the images; then I thought, I could attempt to do a film that shows my admirations for KAWASE." --Vincent Dieutre

The mass of an old village priest.

Portrait of a Folk Art Potter.

A masterful documentary providing a perceptive view of the autumn of human life, inspired by Martin Marencak's photographic portraits. Seemingly bizarre characters often hide a tragic destiny, struggle with poverty, selfishness, sickness or old age but at the same time to retain the ability to fight the world and themselves and live their lives intensely. One of the most significant works of Slovak cinematography, it was banned for 17 years due to ideological and esthetic reasons and was finally fully released in 1989.
