Epicentro

An immersive and metaphorical portrait of post-colonial, ‘utopian’ Cuba, and its resilient people a century after the explosion of the USS Maine in Havana, the event that ushered in the American Empire alongside a modern form of world conquest: cinema as propaganda. In Epicentro, SAUPER explores a century of interventionism and myth-making together with the extraordinary people of Havana to interrogate time, imperialism and cinema itself.

All Light, Everywhere

An exploration of the shared histories of cameras, weapons, policing and justice. As surveillance technologies become a fixture in everyday life, the film interrogates the complexity of an objective point of view, probing the biases inherent in both human perception and the lens.

The 2nd Repatriation

In 2000, in the era of inter-Korean reconciliation, 63 non-converted long-term prisoners were repatriated to the North, and a 2nd repatriation movement was launched in 2001 but failed again and again in later years. As of 2022, the average age of the surviving secondary repatriation applicants is 91.

Repatriation

Repatriation chronicles the lives of ‘unconverted’ North Korean spies who were captured and imprisoned in South Korea for more than 30 years. Director KIM Dongwon developed a close relationship with them after their release from prison and eventually made a documentary that spanned 12 years in the making, providing a penetrating insight into the tragic consequences of the Cold War that still persist in Korea.

Irradiated

Through the encounters and testimonies of victims of bombings that remind him of his past and what he has lived through, director Rithy PANH crosses these stories in all senses, using images, words and looks that bear witness to the attempt to destroy the world. And yet the traces are there. Tangible, real. Even nature speaks. Some plants become monstrous, while others resist and heal wounds.

The First 54 Years – An Abbreviated Manual for Military Occupation

What is the meaning of a military occupation? Through the testimonies of the soldiers who implemented it, director Avi MOGRABI explains the functioning, logic and practices of a colonialist occupation. He uses the 54 years of Israeli occupation in the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip as the basis for a ‘Short Manual of a Military Occupation’.

Contemporary Scenes

A selection of films captures the past and the present of our turbulent world, and observes their interconnection with the innermost of our mindscapes, in order to see the world as it really is.
