The Lioness
Director
The filmmaker works with material that was created twenty years ago during a trip to India, and which is now seeing the light of day after all. From her own found footage emerges, hypnotically, the image of the lioness - entirely in keeping with this edition of the Viennale.
Dissolution
Director
Hitparkut (Dissolution) combines an almost surreal fairy-tale energy with brutal black and white realism to explore the condition of violence which permeates contemporary Israeli society. Shot is Yafo (the predominantly Arab area of Tel Aviv), the movie follows the moral collapse and first glimmer of redemption, of a young, morose Israeli Jew, played by Israeli actor Didi Fire
Water Spell
Thanks
"Sandy Ding's WATER SPELL is a bold, abstract journey that takes us into the psychic interior of our very cellular structure... and back. For me, this film is about reincarnation and transformation, on both the spiritual and sub-atomic levels. This is not an easy film, but it is a powerful one."
