A documentary constructed from 8mm film footage found in a terrible state inside a caravan, which shows the Togni family and their circus from the 1930s and 40s to the 70s. Time and unfavourable conditions had deteriorated the film, which was stuck together, damp and dusty. New technologies allowed the filmmaker to recover almost all of the footage. Darix, a circus legend, and his family, the men, women and children, the animals and the incredible journey across the Alps with elephants in 1959 – a modern version of Hannibal's classic enterprise. http://www.memoriadelleimmagini.it/archivio/filmati.php

A poetic and penetrating look at the old slaughterhouse in Quito, and the work routine. When you go to Quito's slaughterhouse you can see the emotional detachment with which living animals are turned into meat for mass consumption. At the end of the day its a job like any other, a routine. The smell of the place is tepid and penetrating, the noise is loud, the colour red dominates. And in this place, which to the naive observer is terrifying and nauseating, hundreds of people come, including entire families, to earn a living. Couldn't so much effort, so much death, have an ulterior motive?.

In this documentary, director Ethem Ozguven records the gradually disappearing culture of fishermen in small Turkish towns and villages on the Mediterranean coast. He only occasionally lets local fisherman talk to his disinterested camera, as they nostalgically recall the days when fishing could maintain an entire family without any problems. In recent years, however, they can barely scrape by due to various directives limiting fishing an ever-declining fish stocks. The film also draws attention to the fact that it is not just fish that are disappearing from these places, but the previously numerous Greek community as well.

Bilal can see but his parents cannot. He is only three years old and hardly understands what blindness is. Bilal also has a little brother, Hamza. And inside a tiny dark and dank room together they live in a curious game of seeing and not seeing. Neighbors and relatives surround them. The film tells this unusual story by observing the little boy over a year by capturing rare moments of sharing love, fun, cruelty and hope... the wonder world of Bilal.

Argentina: the old world of lords and maids.

A video essay of life in Baghdad before the invasion and occupation. Men dance, women draw and Sufis sing as they await the coming of another war. Notes, gifts, promises, paintings, trash, and other ephemera from the city which is now hardly a city.

A family’s place in the wilderness, outside of time; free-range animals and children, junk and nature, all within the most sublime landscape. The work aims at an idea of freedom, which is reflected in the hand-processed Scope format, but is undercut with a sense of foreboding. There’s no particular story; beginning, middle or end, just fragments of lives lived, rituals performed.
