Ayala Shoshana Guy - short film in development
Lolly, a shy woman who is obsessed with brothels, relentlessly wanders from one sex-club to the next, trying to collect stories of others. In her effort to engage in a meaningful conversation with pimps and sex-workers, she is challenged to put her own skin in the game. As stories collide and unfold, the film leaves the viewers to wonder: if the one thing that makes you feel alive will destroy you, will you run away from it, or toward it? A collection of always-too-short glimpses that reveal the beauty and horror of what insists to remain out of sight.

Four years after his death in Colombia, still shrouded in mystery and purportedly staged as a suicide, U.N. official Mario Paciolla is coming back to life, sharing his ideals with the world, the same ideals that probably turned him against an enemy in disguise.

Andrea Conte / feature film
In the current North American landscape of tough-on-crime policies and families boarding overnight buses to visit incarcerated loved ones in far away rural places, it’s difficult to imagine an open and healthy dialogue between society’s prisoners and the general public. But a new treasure trove of 1990’s VHS archives shows that this is exactly what happened between 1991 and 1995 at prisons in Kingston, Canada. It was achieved through a prisoner-made television show - produced and hosted by prisoners themselves.

OSJA
Irina Rubina / Short film
How can poetry be in opposition to a regime? To the regime that was born from big ideals but turned into firm structures driven by greed for power, destroying and exterminating fragile human lives. The tragic history of the poet Osip Mandelstam mixed with associative, defragmented sounds and images inspired by his poetry: a sensual and absurd experience through the lens of the past.
