Islam stands for change. It seeks to change the individual and society, into a community: the “ummah”, an Arabic word that comes from the root "um", or "mother". This change covers every aspect of human life from personal morality ho business, economics and politics. It is only natural that Islam should be fought by those who want to keep the status quo. “On the pilgrimage (to Mecca), I had close contact with Muslims whose skin would be classified as white, but these particular Muslims didn't call themselves white. They looked upon themselves as human beings, as part of the human family and therefore they looked upon all other segments of the human family as part of that same family. So, I said that if Islam had done this, perhaps if the white men in America would study Islam, perhaps it could do the same for them”.

Twenty videos filmed secretly in several prisons in Quito, Ecuador, over a three year period. Far from simply idealising participative mechanisms, the method used in this audiovisual project ensures that the inmates' point of view remains. Whether this point of view is mediated by learning techniques on graphics, or the inmates pose before the camera like actors, they are always fully aware of the work to be done and, at the same time, of the motivations behind this project. The clandestine nature of the camera and the non-hierarchical production process created emotional bonds that, in one case, went beyond the prison and were reproduced on the outside, affecting relatives and friends.

Mapas Migrantes looks at migration in Barcelona from the period following the Civil War up until the present, through the city's buildings, infrastructures and street furniture. It is a kind of atlas, a series of maps that take shape through the voices of migrants, whose tales of the past invite us to re-read the city. Charting the invisible, we enter a territory in which individual subjectivities erase the boundaries laid down by the dominant discourse.

“The opening of a Muslim oratory in a building in Santa Coloma de Gramenet (Barcelona), for the celebration of Ramadan in October 2004 sparked a confrontation with dye intolerance among the residents of the city and the City. No Mosque! is a documentary of dialog and reflection that analyzes causes and consequences of this conflict on the basis of testimony of all of its protagonists.” We see the escalating pressure from one section of the neighborhood, the solidarity of others (the Ateneu Popular), the pathetic response of the City Council and the Muslim community's banishment to a prayer room made from shipping containers among wire fences in an Industrial Zone... A fractal that is being repeated exponentially throughout the country.

This film follows the events triggered by a young man's killing of a leopard with a self-made trap in Kara, Southern Ethiopia. Anthropologist Felix Girke and film-maker Steffen Köhn follow the protagonists as a social drama slowly emerges: during the feast which celebrates the hunter's achievement, a challenge as to the ownership of the precious hide is issued. The events of the film reveal how ritual rules are strategically manipulated and contested for not entirely evident reasons.

“The material of myth is the material of our life, the material of our body, and the material of our environment. A living, vital mythology deals with these”. During the final years of his life, Joseph Campbell embarked on a lecture tour in which he drew together all that he had learned about what he called the “one great story” of humanity. These remarkable talks were filmed and are presented here in the order and manner in which Campbell himself intended: 1. Psyche and Symbol: the psychological impulse for and response to myth; 2. The Spirit Land: how myths awakened American Indians to the mystery of life; 3. On Being Human: the emergence of myth in early hunter-gatherer societies; 4. From Goddess to God: the gradual shift from the Goddess to male, warlike deities; 5. The Mystical Life: non-biblical mythic strains that helped shape the Western spirit.

“Myth comes from the same zone as dream... from the great biological ground whatever it may be. They are energies and they are matters of consciousness”.
