    Children of the Holocaust
    Production: UK 2014

    Combining animation and interviews, the documentary presents the accounts of people who have experienced Nazi crimes at a very young age. In the 1930s and 1940s they were either teenagers or under 10. The fact that they were then living in Europe and were Jews profoundly affected their childhoods and youth. If they were students, they had to end their education. If they had a happy childhood with family and a home, they lost it. A miracle or a foreign country was their chance of survival. Luckily, they survived.

    Hybris
    Prodction: Holland 2014

    “What would you do in your eternal life?” – this question was asked to a scientist during a 1960s talk-show. The person asking referred to the Bible, the scholar – as scholars do – preferred a more scientific or discursive style, because in fact... In this matter nothing can be a fact – then, and today. This conviction is consolidated by speculations on the scientist's real reflections, made in 3D.

    Salome
    Production: Iceland / Sweden 2014

    Salóme Fannberg is a tapestry artist in her late fifties. Despite poor health, she weaves frenetically. Ever since I can remember, she's had a loom between her hands. But one day she decided to give up her art to concentrate on raising her children. This would take her 23 years. There are six of us; four different fathers of four nationalities. I am the oldest. I have not lived with her since I was a teenager. Today I have returned to Iceland. I am 35, without children and with an ambition to film her. Under an avalanche of my questions she grows taciturn un-wanting to reveal herself. In our tug of war I keep my camera pointed at her incessantly. She is firm in her disapproval.
    (Yrsa Roca Fannberg)

    ●●●– – –●●●
    Production: Portugal 2013

    Assuming the vulnerability of the human being as a starting point, the look of the camera seeks for passers-by, someone who might be related to voices from recordings of social support helplines. The documentary thus matches the images of people in varying locations with sentences listening (resulting from the sound recordings) simultaneously. The connection of interiority coming from (sound) recordings with the reality of the images points to a new look at what we see daily and repeatedly: simple and everyday images, shelters and enclosures of lack of support.
