Dünyaca ünlü besteci Max Richter’in Uyku isimli sekiz saatlik başyapıtının nasıl ortaya çıktığını aşama aşama ortaya koyan belgesel, Richter ve ona eşlik eden Yulia Mahr’ın, Los Angeles’taki meşhur performansa hazırlık sürecine odaklanıyor.

Max Richter Uykusu

From the south of France, a science fiction film about the end of the Leisure Class and that which came to replace it.

The Ataraxians

Featuring a soundtrack melted out of a Cyndi Lauper CD, here is an(other) attempt to find a way through the everywhere fog of 2020.  Filmed between 2019's Carpathian Mountains, Vilnius punk clubs and Belarusian Independence Day celebrations. This is an overgrown path, a ghost-poem, a companion piece to Jonathan Schwartz's FOR THEM ENDING (2006) – and a memorial for Jonathan, completed two years after his death.

What Distinguishes the Past

The film traces the extensive journey of two unidentified brothers who venture from the outskirts of Paramaribo, Suriname, on land and through rapids, past a Maroon village on the Upper Suriname River, in a rehearsal of the voyage undertaken by their ancestors, who escaped from slavery at the hands of the Dutch 300 years prior. A path still traveled to this day, its changing topography bespeaks a diverse history of forced migration.

Let Each One Go Where He May

A man at three disparate moments in his life: as a member of a fifteen-person collective on a small Estonian island, alone in the wilderness of Northern Finland and as the singer of a neo-pagan black metal band in Norway. Three moments for a radical proposition for the creation of utopia in the present.

A Spell to Ward Off the Darkness

On the island of Tanna, a part of Vanuatu, an archipelago in Melanesia, strange rites are enacted and time passes slowly while the inhabitants await the return of the mysterious John.

Let Us Persevere in What We Have Resolved Before We Forget

A documentary portrait of Utopia, loosely framed by Plato’s invocation of the lost continent of Atlantis in 360 BC and its re-resurrection via a 1970s science fiction pulp novel.
