The Last Wish - Narrative Feature """During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ángel Flores, a Spanish actor, returns to Spain to fulfill the last dying wish of his theatre master, Miguel Lama. Ten years earlier, due to a personal tragedy, Ángel had escaped to Mexico, where he had become a TV soap star. Miguel Lama’s last wish for Ángel is to travel to a remote monastery up in the mountains of Northern Spain and there to read Dostoyevsky’s thousand-page-novel The Brothers Karamazov, each page three times, then to come to his graveside in the monastery cemetery every night to tell him about the progress made in reading the novel. The film is a tribute to the miracle of reading, Italian neo-realism, classical theatre, and anti-war activism. Languages: Spanish and Armenian, with English subtitles. ""An incredible monastery drama."" 37. Love & Anarchy - Helsinki International Film Festival, 2024. Círculo de Bellas Artes, Madrid, Spain, and Düsseldorf Film Festival. Western Armenian is spoken in the film. """

Breaking Plates
Breaking Plates A raucous documentary about the not-so-silent women of the silent film era, 'Breaking Plates' defiantly asserts the principle that if we want to tell different stories, we have to tell stories differently. Move aside, Wonder Woman. Drop the pretence, Doris Day. The film images that confine women to a ‘realistic’ role as housewife, nag, babe, or bitch have defined us for too long. Especially because in early cinema, before narrative conventions were ironclad, there were so many more ways to behave. For decades, movies were made almost exclusively by men in Europe and the USA after 1925. So, the slapstick comediennes and cross-dressed cowgirls of early cinema, who were wild, powerful, rude, funny, and utterly out of male control, got forgotten, or worse, erased. ‘Breaking Plates’ collaborates with the curators of ‘Cinema’s First Nasty Women’ to bring them back into view. ‘Breaking Plates’ puts early films on the screen, and then we talk to the characters in them, reanimate their antics, and emulate their mayhem moves. As we wear their clothes and battle their haywire machines, exploding gags, and eruptive bodies, we learn to wield humour as a weapon against the structures that contain us.

The Miraculous Transformation of the Working Class into Foreigners - Documentart
The Miraculous Transformation of the Working Class into Foreigners - Documentart As in all industrialized European countries, social democrats and trade unions led the workers’ movement. And – although not simultaneously – these institutions had lost their impact all over Western Europe by the 1980s. Racist policies succeeded in driving a wedge between immigrant and native workers. This factor, together with the de-industrialization at the end of the 1970s, led to the decline of the classical workers' movement in Switzerland as well. Today, nobody talks about the «working class» anymore. The term «worker» has become synonymous with «foreigner». Filmmaker Samir uses private family photos, animations, music clips, and unseen archive material to tell the story of migration from Switzerland's southern neighbours in an entertaining way, from the post-war period to the present day.

In Search of Immortality
In Search of Immortality In Search of Immortality is a deeply personal cinematic journey into the heart of the Kumbh Mela, the world’s largest spiritual gathering. Through the eyes of the filmmaker, we witness not only the breathtaking scale of millions converging at the confluence of three sacred rivers, but also the timeless myths, rituals, and seekers who sustain this ancient tradition. From the legends of Amrit—the nectar of immortality—to the living presence of sadhus, gurus, and devotees, the film explores humanity’s eternal quest to transcend mortality. At once a spectacle and an intimate reflection, it is the odyssey of a mortal being who steps into the sacred flow—seeking answers, and perhaps, immortality itself.
