A House Made of Splinters
Director of Photography
A temporary house for abandoned children near the front line in eastern Ukraine is run by a small group of social workers determined to provide comfort and safety. It may be humble and somewhat run-down, but this house is filled with love and offers up to nine months of refuge to kids whose fate will be determined by the system. During this short time, the caretakers try to nurture within them a sense of stability and normalcy.

Bird Boy
Screenplay
When 12-year-old Reshat looks around him, he sees the oil fields of Azerbaijan. When he looks up dreamily, he sees pigeons flying to heaven. He misses his father, who died a year ago, and who also loved these birds. Reshat cautiously approaches the best pigeon keeper in the village. Will he teach him to train pigeons? His father taught him that he should be kind to birds, because souls fly to heaven on their wings. While Reshat is learning all about pigeons, he discovers what he really wants. Part of the "Kids on the Silk Road" documentary project.

Лай собак вдалеке
Director of Photography
Десятилетний Олег живет на востоке Украины, в зоне военных действий, где часто слышна зенитная стрельба и отголоски ракетных ударов. Иногда эти звуки доносятся издалека, иногда — пугающе близко. Хотя многие уже покинули опасную зону, Олег остается здесь с бабушкой, которая заботится о нем с тех пор, как его мать умерла. Им просто больше некуда идти. Ожидая окончания войны, Олег коротает время со своим младшим двоюродным братом Яриком и старшим — Костей. Вместе ребята ищут приключений, обсуждают, каким должен быть настоящий человек, проверяют границы друг друга, но иногда заходят слишком далеко. В течение года авторы наблюдают за жизнью Олега и его бабушки, раскрывая тему влияния военного конфликта на детей.

Travelling with Mr. T
Director of Photography
The filmic approach playfully balances on the edge between documentary and fiction, thereby both underlining and adding to the theme of the film. The two directors have filmed Troels for 4 years, capturing all his ups and downs, the defining moments, both the hilarious and the sad. This material will be combined with Troels¿ video diary where we get even closer, and animation that will bring life to Troels¿ text and inner universe in a compelling and humoristic way. The animation is done by the artist Carl Krull whoose very distinctive style matches Troels¿ story and personality, combining darkness and humor, the grotesque and the beautiful. It will be subtly integrated into the filmed material, at times taking over completely. The story of Troels and the visual approach melt together.

Акт убийства
Thanks
После индонезийского военного переворота 1965 года, военизированные формирования и садистские преступники убили более миллиона предполагаемых коммунистов. Эти убийства остались безнаказанными, а виновные до сих пор являются влиятельными людьми, которые могут рассчитывать на поддержку коррумпированных политиков.
The Human Scale
Assistant Director
50 % of the world’s population lives in urban areas. By 2050 this will increase to 80%. Life in a mega city is both enchanting and problematic. Today we face peak oil, climate change, loneliness and severe health issues due to our way of life. But why? The Danish architect and professor Jan Gehl has studied human behavior in cities through 40 years. He has documented how modern cities repel human interaction, and argues that we can build cities in a way, which takes human needs for inclusion and intimacy into account.
