The movie observes the Kobanê war’s influence on people and nature,
and also the Kobanian guerrilla women’s rebellion against the
approach, which has for years ignored women’s historical values in a
male dominated society.

In "Two Way Jesus", reality conquers fiction, and versa. The people of
Cutud, Pampanga - celebrates the annual "Maleldo", the Crucifixation
of Jesus Christ. This seemingly voyeurism approach tackles its
participants and observer, religion and culture, and the power of new
media in between.

Completed just a few weeks before Sciola’s recent passing, Born of
Stone is an immersion inside the sights and sound of remarkable
artists, and inside his belief that stones are not just the material
that gives shape to the universe, but that they are alive, plastic, a
fundamental way to communicate with nature.

A haunting, disturbing gaze into the mind of a sociopath, against the
backdrop of the European immigration crisis
As a human being, aka “The Horn” - a former Colombian guerrilla
commander - leaves much to be desired. Based on the principles laid
out in Sergey Nechayev´s infamous Revolutionary Catechism, he cheated,
extorted and murdered, up until reaching absolute self-fulfillment in
the Far North of Sweden.

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
