A former industrial warehouse in Barcelona’s Poblenou provides a place to live and work to a group of people, most of them originally from black Africa. In this video, they denounce their living and working conditions, and the segregation and attacks that they suffer. And they give us a lucid vision of the society that discriminates against them: “They ask us be to be civilized, to become civilized… I ask myself, what does it mean to be civilized? To spend money, to buy things… to consume.
UntitledImagine Apple is a state. Image that states worked like companies, or vice versa. Would you rather live in Apple or in China. This documentary poses the seemingly absurd question: What if Applewere a state? and invites us to reflect on the way companies and states operate, taking Apple and China as examples. “It is not another film about Apple or about China. By comparing two epitomes of the world, it turns out that software might be a new form of governance. But on the ground, there is real desire and real exploitation.”
Themeroc, the prophecy.

Limbo (Lat. Limbus) ~ the world between the living and the dead ~ the storage space where deleted files are sent ~ a tale by Aldous Huxley.
There is an enormous, constant, and well-organised pressure on social rights and freedoms, backed by a media apparatus that appropriates language and steals our words. Meanwhile, nature is still the source from which we extract the fuel that feeds the engines of progress for the few.
Borders spill beyond boundaries and permeate cities like the laboratory for a new totalitarian society.

“Language is a specific formalisation of expression that is assigned the role of transmitting orders to society.” “At school, language is placed in the mouth of the child, just as a pick is placed in the hands of a labourer. The teacher does not bring the children together to teach them the alphabet, but to teach them a system of orders. And when she asks a child what the sum of 2 + 2 equals she is not asking for information, she is giving an order.”

UntitledAn epic journey across the U.S.A. in search of what is causing our unfolding global crisis. Pollution, droughts and diminishing resources now threaten the very engine driving these catastrophes: civilization itself. Massive dislocations are manifesting in or lifetime, and our world will never be the same. This is not a story of despair but rather a rallying effort to find our way back towards harmony with nature. Fall and Winter uncovers ingenious new strategies for the future while drawing on past wisdom; it is a survival guide for the 21st century.
UntitledDolores Tjeada Saavedra, the Councillor for Work at Marinaleda Town Council, gives a simple and detailed account of how a grassroots social movement has managed to socialize the means of production, housing, health, education and leisure in this small town in Southern Spain. Dolores explains the many benefits of having an active trade union, with the political power of the town counciland the productive force of cooperatives in the hands of the people. Marinaleda has a population of 3000, and an unemployment rate of 0%. Anybody who wants to self-build in the town is only charged 15 euros per month, and working families only pay 12 euros a month for childcare including meals, to name just two of a long list of social benefits. A true oasis in a country dominated byunbridled capitalism and the shabbiest and most retrograde government in Spain’s short history of democracy, which has left the country with an unemployment rate of 27% – 50% in the case of youth unemployment – and three million people living in poverty.
