Crni kamen / Black Stone

Greece, 2022, Colour, 87 min.

Režija / Director: Spiros Jacovides

Uloge / Cast: Eleni Kokkidou, Julio George Katsis Tokom snimanja dokumentarca o „nestalim“ javnim službenicima, dvoje filmadžija upoznaju Haroulu, očajnu i pretjerano zaštitnički nastrojenu majku Grkinju. Njen sin je jedan od nestalih i ona ga pokušava naći. Međutim, kada njegovo ime bude dovedeno u vezu sa prevarom u službi, navodno počinjenom uz pomoć saradnice iz inostranstva, Haroula sa svojim drugim sinom, inače licem s invaliditetom, kreće u misiju spiranja ljage s njegovog imena. Uz pomoć grčkog taksiste afričkog porijekla i grupe ne toliko korisnih antifa aktivista, dokumentaristi prate Haroulu tokom njenog pokušaja da pronađe sina i vrati ga kući gdje pripada, čak i po cijenu da otkrije kakva je on stvarno osoba. While shooting a documentary about “missing” civil servants, a filmmaking duo stumble upon Haroula, a desperate, overprotective Greek mother searching for her missing son. But when his name is linked to government fraud with a foreign female accomplice, Haroula sets out with her other, disabled son, to clear his name. With the help of a Greek African taxi driver and a less-than-helpful antifa group of misfits, the documentary duo follow Haroula on her quest to find her son and bring him back home where he belongs, even if it means discovering who he truly is.

Situacija se mijenja kada Jan, po povratku iz noćne posjete ljubavnici Siti, iznenada padne mrtav pred noge svoje supruge. U očajničkom nastojanju da održi privilegije dotadašnjeg statusa, Agathe prisiljava otuđenog sina Cornelisa i njegovu trudnu suprugu Josefien da dosele iz Evrope i preuzmu porodični posao. U jeku radničke pobune Cornelis predstavlja svoje progresivne planove za budućnost. Ali kada Janova oporuka otkrije da je na čelo porodičnog imanja postavljena Siti, planovi bivaju odbačeni, a krv je gušća od vode.

On a remote Indonesian island, during the waning days of the colonial era, Dutch sugar plantation owner Jan and his wife Agathe are at the top of the food chain – until Jan drops dead in front of his wife upon returning from his nightly visit to his concubine, an Indigenous woman. Desperate to retain the privileges of her status quo, Agathe forces her estranged son Cornelis and his heavily pregnant wife Josefien to travel from Europe and take over the family business. In the midst of a workers' uprising, Cornelis outlines his plans for progressive change. But when Jan’s will puts Siti at the forefront of the family estate, ideals prove to be idle and blood thicker than water.

Norway, 2023, Colour, 90 min.

Režija / Director: Margreth Olin

PJESME PLANETE ZEMLJE veličanstvena je simfonija za veliki ekran. Radi se o audiovizuelnoj kompoziciji izvornih sila zemlje, pri čemu kamera vodi gledaoce od unutrašnjosti najsitnijih komponenti Zemlje do njenih divljih vanjskih panorama. Osamdesetpetogodišnji otac autorice filma pojavljuje se u ulozi vodiča i vodi nas kroz slikovitu norvešku dolinu u kojoj je odrastao i gdje su generacije ljudi živjele u prirodi i borile se da prežive. Zvuci zemlje se harmonizuju kako bi proizveli muziku na ovom filmskom putovanju koje oduzima dah.

SONGS OF EARTH is a majestic symphony for the big screen. An audio-visual composition of the earth’s primordial forces, its camera takes us from inside nature’s smallest components to outside the wild panoramas. The filmmaker’s eighty-five-year-old father is our guide, taking us through Norway’s most scenic valley, where he grew up and where generations have lived alongside nature to survive. The sounds of the earth harmonise together to make music in this breathtaking journey.
