The Walkers

Filmed over 10 years, this epic documentary presents the story of the renowned Taiwanese choreographer, LIN Lee-chen and her "Legend Lin Dance Theatre". Extracting the essential details of LIN's daily life, the film explores the origins of her dance, contemplating the poetic and ritualistic movements she creates and delineating her lifetime pursuit of aesthetic concerns.

Stop-over

In Athens, Amir, an Iranian immigrant, has a modest flat which has become a place of transit for migrants who, like Amir himself, have chosen to leave their country.

Shado'man

Shado'man is a cinematic journey undertaken by the filmmaker together with the street boys. The camera becomes a nucleus around which their life unfolds, unlocking a space for previously unshared pains, dreams and aspirations. The film delves into the inner world of each character to reveal the dignity of humans surviving under inhumane conditions.

National Diploma

National Diploma follows a group of young Congolese high school students who are about to sit the exam for their National Diploma, the equivalent of the French baccalaureate, in Kisangani, Democratic Republic of Congo.

Glowing Embers

On the banks of the Ucayali river, in the Peruvian rainforest, three generations of the same family struggle to survive through their handmade production of coal. After an accident that burned her feet, the grandmother leaves the family, with the hope of dying somewhere else, far away from the coal. Left alone with her juvenile son, Nancy keeps on struggling. Will she be able to hold her family together?

For the Lost

Guided by the sheepbells of a flock and by the evocations of the lost, this film is a voyage through storms; those of the mountains and winter, those of bodies and souls, those which remind us that which nature has not obtained from our reason, obtaining from our madness.

fog

A station in thick fog and a waiting figure is seen. An astronomer who is looking to the sky. A musician hoping to meet the right woman one day, and a stableman for whom the world has always turned a little too fast. All are driven by their quiet longing to make contact, to not feel alone, to gaze into openness. In the end we have a clear view but remain alone.

Evaporating Borders

Evaporating Borders develops a sweeping visual essay on global restrictive attitudes toward migrating populations. Guided by the filmmaker's curious eye and personal reflections, the film dissects the experience of asylum seekers in Cyprus. Through a series of vignettes, it poetically weaves themes of migration, tolerance, identity and belonging.

The Empire of Shame

"It was like I was in a different world. Men and women all wore the same clothes and it looked like a small country. There were a factory, dormitory, even hospital. Just being there was sort of making me feel good. I can recall the first time I was in manufacturing line. Real robots working there." It's a story about nameless people wearing white coat, hat and mask working in a clean room, exposing eyes only.

Cochihza

Ometepe, the volcano island—Nicaragua. A landscape like a sleeping body. The ancients describe life in two movements: one linear movement, like a walk; and one beat, emerging from the centre. Each man adopts his own particular rhythm at birth and keeps it for all his life. Within the encounter of the volcano's community and the guardians of its memory, a story of a world unfolds.
