di
Tilo Wondollek
An artificially created famine during the Soviet era led to the forced migration of Kazakhs to other countries. Some of this population migrated to Iran and live in cities in northern Iran; Kazakhs in Iran have their own districts, run successful businesses, and live prosperous lives. Some Kazakhs from Iran have returned to their ancestral land and live in Mangystau Province. In 1931-1933, during the fabricated famine in Kazakhstan, the population of Kazakhstan was forced to migrate to neighboring countries, and some of them, with great difficulty, moved to Iran, settled in the cities of northern Iran and continued their lives there.
More than 10 years ago, photographer Maria Ageeva came up with her project "Fragile Happiness," which helped her find her place in the world of photography. Usually photographers stay behind the frame, but Maria will become a guide to the world of four families in which great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers are still alive. She explores the most fragile and the shortest connection in human life.
I "Jesus Bikers" sono uniti da una missione comune: consegnare a Papa Leone XIV una motocicletta personalizzata. Fedeli al loro motto "Pregare – Guidare – Fare del bene", i motociclisti intendono far autografare il mezzo dal Papa, per poi metterlo all'asta a scopo benefico. Ma il viaggio da Altötting, in Baviera, verso Roma si rivela impegnativo: lunghi tragitti, maltempo e un interrogativo di fondo: la Guardia Svizzera permetterà mai a questi centauri in gilet di pelle di incontrare il Papa? Il documentario accompagna gli spettatori lungo il percorso, offrendo uno sguardo sulle personalità singolari dei Jesus Bikers. Tra incidenti, trascorsi in carcere e persino un test di attitudine con i lama, il racconto alterna momenti di profonda riflessione a episodi decisamente bizzarri.
CANCER-SOUL offers a fresh perspective on cancer—one that is courageous, holistic, and unlike any narrative that has come before. This intimate documentary explores cancer not merely as a medical diagnosis, but as a complex interplay between body, mind, and soul. Navigating the terrain of fear, medical treatment, hope, and inner transformation, the film follows personal journeys that unfold amidst an existential crisis. Renowned oncology experts, physicians, naturopaths, energy healers, and former patients speak candidly about questions that resonate with so many: what does it truly mean to heal? What role do the mind, one’s inner attitude, and holistic approaches play? And what paths might offer new hope when faced with illness? These personal stories of healing inspire courage, demonstrating that—even under the most challenging circumstances—hope and transformation remain possible. CANCER-SOUL is a film about vulnerability, human connection, and the strength to re-engage with life, despite the presence of disease. The work invites the audience to challenge established viewpoints and to develop a broader, deeper understanding of cancer.

High school students form a rock band and achieve their first victory in a competition; it seems like fame is just within their grasp. But then the time for final exams and graduation arrives, and they temporarily postpone their dream until autumn to return to it later. However, nothing goes according to plan. The lead singer is drafted into the army, and the guitarist tragically dies in an accident. The young men are confronted with death for the first time. This terrible event becomes a catalyst for a new stage of "growing up," leading them to reconsider the value of unpredictable life. The story is narrated from the perspective of the band's drummer, directed by Anton Nemov
Dance of Urgency is a dance that emerges in times of personal and collective crisis — a movement that empowers individuals and communities, serving as both resistance and a coping mechanism. Filmed in December 2024 in Kyiv, Ukraine, at Club K-41, the short film brings together people who speak about the power and importance of dance during the ongoing full-scale Russian invasion. In the midst of fear and grief, dance becomes a way to deal with pain, to connect, and to find the strength to keep moving through these hard times.
Association for Rare Diseases of Castile and León was founded in Salamanca in 2014 with the aim of reaching out to those affected by rare or undiagnosed diseases and their families, and whose purpose is to defend their rights and needs. Our goal with this documentary is to delve into the subject from the inside, raising awareness of rare diseases and educating viewers so they can understand what these cases mean for families, the challenges they present, their way of life, available support and solutions, and the current situation and changes in Castile and León and at the national level. In short, everything encompassed by this complex and often misunderstood world.
In Beniopa, a small village in the Valencian Community marked by ravines and memory, 24 artists from different parts of the world paint 12 walls in a community mural-making process. Over four days, local residents open their homes to host them, turning the artistic experience into an act of hospitality, listening and social reconnection. Guided by the poetic voice of La Cris, the film explores how urban art can mediate between wounded memories, identities in tension, and a community seeking to see itself, tell its story, and imagine itself together once again, through shared gestures and care, with tenderness always.

Raphaël is making a documentary that gives women a platform to speak about their relationships with their fathers. As the project takes shape, moments shared with the women in his own life—his sister, a friend, his partner, and his grandmother—gradually cause these testimonies to resonate with his personal history. The process draws him into an unexpected journey of introspection, forcing him to confront his own wounds and demons—ultimately turning the film he is creating into a mirror of his own relationship with his father. Will he finally succeed in earning his father’s pride?
The film portrays industry as a living system that both builds on an established foundation and continuously seeks new paths for development. It is within this environment that solutions emerge in areas such as localization, technology scaling, the advancement of autonomous systems, energy infrastructure, innovative manufacturing approaches, and applied materials.
As we consider a revival of nuclear energy in France, what can we learn from the audiovisual archives documenting its initial rollout in the 1950s? Which territories were mobilized to house the workforce for this state-run industry, and what became of them? At a time when some of the buildings designed for this purpose are being demolished, footage from a 1959 promotional film—commissioned by the construction firm involved—offers a glimpse into the origins of this infrastructure, prompting us to reflect on the developments envisioned for the future.

The action takes place in the present time, in the Chamber of the Supreme Court of the Confederation of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, in which four characters appear: Judge, Prosecutor, Lawyer and accused, generic names, roles, prototypes, not individuals. The trial begins accusing the accused of "telling the truth," among other crimes. The accused accepts the blame and asks permission to inject a packet of heroin. The Judge agrees to his request, on the condition that he do so in public. He does so. Then, as if it were the most natural thing, she requests through her lawyer "to have intercourse with your Honor", that is, "she wishes to possess and be possessed." Once the request is accepted, the Judge suspends the session and retires to fornicate with the accused. They return and the trial resumes and soon, a phone rings: the Judge is ordered that the accused becomes the lawyer of the lawyer, who has now become the accused. Role reversal. The trial continues.

What if this were the most powerful plant on Earth? This documentary shines a light on the cannabis plant in a way that ensures viewers will never look at it the same again. Within a mosaic of perspectives, the voice of Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, the chemist who isolated THC and CBD, resounds as the final legacy of a life devoted to science: his last filmed conversation. Alongside him, Jorge Cervantes and other figures from law, industry, science, entrepreneurship, and medicinal use interweave in a dialogue that illuminates the scope and promise of this silenced plant. With a universal gaze, the film follows the life cycle of this plant, perhaps the most extraordinary on the planet. A story that does not confine itself to the present but anticipates what lies ahead: the moment when the full potential of the cannabis plant will be unveiled for humanity.
