Little Palestine (Diary of a Siege)

The district of Yarmouk (Damascus, Syria) sheltered the biggest Palestinian refugee camp in the world from 1957 to 2018. When the Syrian revolution broke out, the regime of Bashar Al-Assad saw Yarmouk as a refuge of rebels and resistance and set up a siege from 2013 on. Gradually deprived of food, medicine and electricity, Yarmouk was cut off from the rest of the world. Abdallah Al-Khatib was born in Yarmouk and lived there until his expulsion by Daesh in 2015.

Dusk

An ominous documentary viewing a global theme from the perspective of a small Hungarian community. A ‘landguard’ and his son go on patrol in the border area near Serbia, where an invisible danger looms. Figures sneak across the fields, unknown cars are spotted, dogs in yards behave strangely, and children are scared when it gets dark.

Summer Planning

All Andrei wants is to leave for summer camp, together with his friends, once the school year is over. Meanwhile, his parents are caught up with their divorce.

From the Balcony

A middle-aged lady observes the world of an Athenian neighbourhood from her balcony, getting mixed reactions from those she constantly watches; until she is no longer there and that world changes forever.

Town of Glory

Most of the 10 000 inhabitants of Yelnya feel nostalgic about the former USSR and its army. They’re raising the town’s children to be military trained national patriots. Yelnya misses the days when things were different, when society was stable, even when that meant living under strict rules. Svetlana, an ex-military, lost her job when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, ruining all her plans and dreams. The army has increasingly become her ‘island of stability’ in the turbulent and changing environment of Russia since the collapse.

Tereza37

​Tereza (Lana Barić) lives in a patriarchal Dalmatian city Split and while her husband Leon is sailing, she is re-examining her own life. Doctor’s joke shakes up her monotonous marriage and steers her life in a totally new, unexpected direction. Written by the outstanding Croatian actress Lana Barić, the story is rooted in the macho Dalmatian culture, yet it is universal and appealing to many. Brilliant performances of the main actors and the subtle directing earned the film prizes and awards at home as well as abroad from Spain, Sweden, Poland etc.
