Written and directed by Sil van der Woerd and Jorik Dozy, ‘Birthplace’ was shot in Komodo and Bali, Indonesia, with the goal to reconnect people to our common origins, and bring awareness to the global issue of marine plastic pollution. Lyrically and visually, 'Birthplace' sends a poignant message about humanity's effect on our life-giving ecosystem, and the consequences of surrendering to the status quo of everyday materials.

A small river separates Soviet lands from the territory of one of the capitalist powers. On the other side, the girl Pebble lives with her peasant father. One morning, after running after a cow across a river, the girl crossed to the Soviet side. She only spends one day in the kindergarten of the border post, but this day remains in her memory for the rest of her life. Seeing the bright, spacious rooms, the beautiful clothes of the children, delicious plentiful food, and many toys, the girl remembers with bitterness her dilapidated hut, where there is not always bread for dinner. Caressed by the Soviet people, in a new dress, with a bunch of donated toys, Pebble goes back home. A rude shout from a gendarme officer brings the girl back to bitter reality.

Every Thursday, a group of students from the University of Ibadan, the oldest in Nigeria, organizes a film club, transforming a small amphitheater into a political agora where they refine their vision and develop a critical voice. "Coconut Head Generation", a scornful expression to designate a stubborn and brainless youth, takes on a whole new meaning when the students turn this stigma around to claim their freedom of thought.

Yamato - The Drummers of Japan: Rojyoh-The Beat on the Road

6.0

2014

Movie

Yamato - synonymous with a time from days long past and filled with Buddhist spirituality. The unique ensemble fuses the spirit of Zen with the beats of the 21st century in a fascinating show: brilliant, virtuoso and penetrating. A rousing production that presented viewers with a perfect symbiosis of acoustic and optical art on a major European tour in 2005. Taiko, the classic Japanese drum, is one of the oldest instruments in the world. Your call touches people deep down. As the musicians of the Yamato Troupe beat their drum, they are inspired by the throbbing heartbeat of their own body since the moment of their birth. Imbued with this feeling, they conjure up the "heartbeat of the soul" from their own bodies, trained with "Taiko-do" - sometimes dynamic, sometimes gentle. Yamato creates the moment when the human heartbeat coincides with the "heartbeat of the soul".
