Когда солнце упало с неба
Editor
Документальный фильм посвящён атомной бомбардировке Хиросимы в 1945 году и её очевидцам. Автор фильма, Айа Домениг, родилась в Японии, её дед был врачом, и оказывал помощь в Хиросиме в первые дни после бомбардировки. Айа видит, что раны нанесенные атомным взрывом не зажили в Японии до сих пор. Страх охватывает всё японское общество, это и страх радиации, и ненависть к людям, подвергшимся её действию, и возмущение против атомной электроэнергии. Катастрофа на атомной станции Фукусима в 2014 году вызывает новую невероятную волну страха и протеста, призраки вновь возникают из тьмы и поражают сердца людей. Хотя участники фильма сами были очевидцами катастрофы, их свидетельства не всегда вызывают доверие, поскольку они больше основаны на эмоциях, а не на доказанных фактах.

Middle of the Moment

Filmmakers Nicolaus Humbert and Werner Penzel examine the nature of nomadic existence in this documentary, from the literal nomads of North Africa to the more metaphorical kind of wanderer, such as American poet and ex-pat Robert Lax. Humbert and Penzel focus especially on the nomad's paradoxical ability to fully inhabit every moment while remaining coolly detached from specific locales and anxious thoughts about the past or future.
