The Army Game (1960)

Gunnar Hedes, un joven sueco, quiere convertirse en músico profesional, pero cuando su padre muere repentinamente, su familia le presiona para que se haga cargo del negocio familiar, criando y vendiendo renos.

Sin embargo, cuando un día se lesiona gravemente en un accidente mientras conduce la manada sobre el Ártico congelado y sufre un traumatismo craneal grave, su familia teme que sufra daños mentales permanentes y que pierdan tanto a Gunnar como al negocio familiar.

Que ta joie demeure no es un documental acerca de ser un esclavo de la máquina, la alienación, la deshumanización o explotación. Sonido e imagen, edición y estructura dramática son empleados para adaptar talleres y pisos de la fábrica en el espacio cinematográfico con el fin de explorar los extraños entornos a los que los trabajadores se adaptan y con los que hábilmente interactuan, como si la humanidad nunca hubiera hecho otra cosa ademas de eso desde tiempos inmemoriales .

By the start of World War II, Paul Robeson had given up his lucrative mainstream work to participate in more socially progressive film and stage productions. Robeson committed his support to Paul Strand and Leo Hurwitz’s political semidocumentary Native Land. With Robeson’s narration and songs, this beautifully shot and edited film exposes violations of Americans’ civil liberties and is a call to action for exploited workers around the country. Scarcely shown since its debut, Native Land represents Robeson’s shift from narrative cinema to the leftist documentaries that would define the final chapter of his controversial film career.

"Budapest Tales" is about a group of people (consisting of Szabo regular Andras Balint along with Ildiko Bansagi and Karoly Kovacs) who find a broken down tram while trying to go to the city. The people band together and try to get the tram back on the train tracks and head towards the city. Along this journey the passengers encounter many people who join them on the tram. What started out as only a handful of people has now turned into a small village. As the people travel on to the city each person takes on certain roles and through the course of time these roles will change. Some people fall in love, others out of love, and a few even die. But life goes on. The people keep the tram going hoping to reach Budapest.

Story of the Siberian monk Gregory Rasputin and the hold he exerted over the court of the last Russian czar, Nicholas.

Enacting the story of a hunt with wild but precise gestures, the Polish animator Witold Giersz’s The Horse (award-winning at the Krakow Film Festival for “its exceptionally interesting animation technique”) explodes with color and brings to life the physical strokes of paint of which it is made. The film never lets you forget that what you’re seeing is simply paint being rearranged into recognizable shapes, yet the pumping musical score and expressiveness of its titular character provide a simultaneous emotional experience. The abstract backgrounds render the narrative world beautiful and strange yet entirely comprehensible, as the film depicts an epic chase from humanity’s past.

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.

Cindy, the doll is mine is a short film by French director Bertrand Bonello.

A diary film about Kawase's relationship with her Grandma and the search for her Father, whom she has not seen since her parents divorced during her early childhood.

Pat O'Neill, one of the most interesting filmmakers in America today, offers a dazzling reflection on the conflict between nature and man in Los Angeles, or the desertification of the city's surroundings due to its enormous water consumption. More interestingly, it is also a film in the age-old tradition of city symphonies: a film about LA's foundation myths and the dreams it embodies, about its history and (grim) future, its topography and ethnography. O'Neill uses footage from several classic films to recreate the several layers of meaning emanating from the city, juxtaposing images and fantasies and hardly ever allowing one picture to go untouched. George Lockwood's swarming soundtrack is likewise composed of conflicting languages, an elaborate work of plunderphonics in which snippets of sound stolen from movies collide with electronic soundscapes, contemporary chamber music, improv, and what not.

A dos niños, que son músicos ambulantes, les roban accidentalmente un acordeón. Rodada en Teherán, forma parte del proyecto "Then and Now", sobre la tolerancia y la complejidad de las culturas. En palabras de Pahani, "soy un director que tiene muy en cuenta las circunstancias sociales y lo que ocurre a mi alrededor.
