Political Bodies (2022)

Начиная с первых сенсационных выстрелов и заканчивая неожиданным финалом, фильм полон загадок и тревожного ожидания. Кейдж играет роль Рика Санторо, эксцентричного детектива полиции Атлантик-Сити, который приходит посмотреть на своего спортивного кумира и заодно поправить свои финансовые дела на тотализаторе. Внезапная стрельба во время поединка превращает 14 тысяч болельщиков в свидетелей политического убийства. Показания свидетелей, видеозаписи электронной системы наблюдения за казино и информация, полученная от таинственной незнакомки в белом, — все это вместе рисует перед видавшим виды Санторо настолько невероятную картину убийства, что он просто отказывается в нее верить.

On October 21, 1967, over 100,000 protestors gathered in Washington, D.C., for the Mobilization to End the War in Vietnam. It was the largest protest gathering yet, and it brought together a wide cross-section of liberals, radicals, hippies, and Yippies. Che Guevara had been killed in Bolivia only two weeks previously, and, for many, it was the transition from simply marching against the war, to taking direct action to try to stop the 'American war machine.' Norman Mailer wrote about the events in Armies of the Night. French filmmaker Chris Marker, leading a team of filmmakers, was also there.

Эльза Ахо – владелица шляпного салона и, к тому же, известная ясновидящая. К её услугам то и дело прибегает отдел по розыску без вести пропавших. Но этот дар нельзя использовать себе во благо, поэтому Эльза не знает, что в серой социалистической Праге, за «железным занавесом», прозябает тот, кого она так пылко любила в юности, и из-за кого так и не вышла замуж. Она считает его мёртвым... 8-ой фестиваль молодёжи и студентов в Хельсинки вновь сталкивает две разных системы, два противоположных лагеря.

A month after the Wall Street occupation, a number of protesters follow their example and set up their tents in front of the Ljubljana stock market. The protesters are united in the critique of representative democracy and global financial capitalism under the slogan ‘nobody represents us’. Their organisation is based on the principles of direct democracy. In absence of other social alternatives, a community starts to emerge in the camp in front of the stock market where everyone has an equal say, and everyone is united in their diversity. After the initial euphoria the great idea of direct democracy clashes against the contemporary individual; antagonisms surface, similar to those of the system which the protesters fight against. The story about the Slovenian version of the ‘occupy’ movement is portrayed with the stories of a few protagonists, who despite several defeats do not lose hope in a different world.

Poverty, Inc. explores the hidden side of doing good. From disaster relief to TOMs Shoes, from adoptions to agricultural subsidies, Poverty, Inc. follows the butterfly effect of our most well-intentioned efforts and pulls back the curtain on the poverty industrial complex - the multi-billion dollar market of NGOs, multilateral agencies, and for-profit aid contractors. Are we catalyzing development or are we propagating a system in which the poor stay poor while the rich get hipper?

The 26 featured songs include "Do What You Want," "Land of Competition," "Best for You" and more.

Dancing in Dulias was made by members of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) and Lesbians Against Pit Closures during and immediate after the 1984/85 minders strike. Like the forthcoming movie, Pride, it documents the interactions between lesbians and gay men and the miners and their families in Dulais in South Wales - only this time it's the real thing. As well as some memorable footage that includes the Blaenant Lodge banner leading the 1985 Lesbian and Gay Pride march and LGSM members struggling with bingo at the local community hall, the film documents the wider political impact of this seemingly unlikely alliance.

Accommodated since Algeria's Bloody Decade of the 1990’s in the "House of the Press", the journalists of the famous daily newspaper El Watan await the completion of their new offices, a symbol of their independence. My camera is embedded in their newsroom as they follow the events of this new Algerian spring... President Bouteflika has set his sights on a 4th term. Beyond what we call the Arab revolutions and other mediatized terms, I wanted this film to serve as a memorial to the women and men, young and less young, who battle daily to safeguard the freedom of information in a politically and socially fossilized country.
