    In this documentary, the life of three Brazilian teenagers—two of whom have had their freedom taken away from them and a third who, thanks to support from social organisations, has managed to extricate himself from life on the street and become a teacher—provides the basis for a reflection on how to address inequalities from the human rights perspective rather than the needs perspective.

    Spain
    Video, 8’08”

    An incendiary, rambling discourse about the philosophy underpinning the American way of life and the fruitless search for the remains of Love and Cinema on the streets of New York. Megacities are drains through which the remains of love trickle away. Is love possible in New York, where dehumanisation is listed on the Stock Exchange?

    AVI AHEYCHAL – CHIEF BUILDER, 2008

    Shirli Nadav
    Israel
    Vídeo, 31’28”

    The New Central Bus Station in Tel-Aviv is the Modernist dream in collapse. A dream, a vision, which brought disintegration and chaos in its wake, as if it were the story of Babel itself. Aimlessly wandering in the endless labyrinth of corridors at the New Central Bus Station, Chief Builder creates a portrait of human experience under the contrasts of architectural vision.

    Soundtrack: Binya Reches

  •  A image of the work documentary entitled: NOT ENOUGH NIGHT
    NOT ENOUGH NIGHT, 2007

    Dan Boord y Luis Valdovino
    USA
    Video, 7’44”

    The Longmont, Colorado gas station that Jack Kerouac wrote about in On the Road was moved twice to protect it from certain destruction. Our present day bulldozes the past to make room for quaint condominiums and homes that pretend to be part of an American yesteryear of cottages and town squares. Not Enough Night is a swan song for bygone hipsters, who longed for more “life” amid the coming storm of the post-World War II suburbs, shopping malls and the lonely existence of the solitary consumer.

    Producer: Dan Boord; Luis Valdovino
    Script: Dan Boord, Jack Kerouac, Luis Valdovino
    Soundtrack: Tom Wells
    Camera operator: Dan Boord, Luis Valdovino
    Editing: Dan Boord, Luis Valdovino

    The study of a violin piece reminds Samuel of his daily journeys by public transport in Havana, on the so-called camellos or camels. The reality of the camellos and the boy’s musical reference blend to form a unique experience.

    Producer: EICTV, Escuela Internacional de Cine y TV, San Antonio de los Baños

    Video, 28’00”

    The company Río Cincel SAMIC started exploiting the Sugarloaf mine (Jujuy, Argentina) in 1950. In 1989 it went bankrupt and disappeared, leaving outstanding debts with most of the workers. Everyone left, except for Pedro Sumbaino, who had worked there since he was a boy and had risen to the position of security guard.

  •  A image of the work documentary entitled: IN TRANSIT
    IN TRANSIT, 2008

    Joanne Richardson
    Romania
    Video, 30’00”

    In Transit is a travelogue of a Romanian journey across space and time, composed of subjective impressions of the present and childhood memories of the past. The video reflects on the meaning of post-communist transition, as well as on the processes through which history and memory are re-written. Following a non-linear narrative, themes recur in a spiral movement, and the ending returns to the beginning of the film, which receives a different interpretation by questioning the status of its images.

    Producer: D Media
    Script: Joanne Richardson
    Camera operator: Joanne Richardson and others
    Editing: Joanne Richardson
    Cast: Ramona Dumitrean

    Producer: Montse Herrera
    Script: Claudio Zulian
    Camera operator: Quique López
    Editing: Laura P. Sola

    THE MAMMOTH AND THE BEE, 2008

    Christian Bermúdez
    Norway
    Video, 11’30”

    Six kilometres from the centre of Olso lies one of Norway largest man-made structures, a residential complex offering 819 rooms. Built in the late 1960s, Tveita has become a synonym for suburbia, for brutalism architecture at its very worst, as well as an eloquent symbol of the breakdown of the social democratic values that witnessed the construction of the building.
