Balance of the Five Elements
On a cinematic journey throughout China, traversing seasons and geographical touch points, we discover how the ancient Chinese philosophy of Wu Xing, or The Five Phases, remains relevant in contemporary times.
Turkey on the Edge
The last few years have been decisive for the Turkish state. Once fiercely democratic and secular, Turkey under Erdogan has seen an erosion of liberties and the consolidation of power in one man's hands.
Pretty Ugly
In the age of photoshop, the pressure on the ugly, wrinkled and pigeon-chested has never been so great. But Del Keens, a self confessed gargoyle, is here to turn the tables. After being scouted by an advertising photographer and fronting major campaigns by Levi’s and Calvin Klein, he’s forming his own modelling agency – good-lookers need not apply. But is this a liberating counter concept? Or simply coquetry to reaffirm our ideal of beauty?
Midtsommernattstango
Finsk tango? Chino Laborde, Diego “DIPI“ Kvitko og Pablo Greco er tre typiske argentinske tangomusikere. Høyrøstede, lidenskapelige og overbevist om at de spiller den eneste sanne tango. De legger ut på en reise gjennom Finlands magiske verden av skoger, innsjøer og lyse netter. Her treffer de reserverte finner som også spiller tango. Denne musikkfylte 'road-movie'-dokumentaren fanger inn komikken og sjarmeren som oppstår når musikere fra ulike verdener møtes og innser de deler den.
