Long Distance Swimmer: Sara Mardini (2024)

Travelling Hawkers in Frankfurt am Main

A documentary about unemployed people who bought fruit and vegetables at moderate prices at the wholesale market and sold these in the streets of Frankfurt. Since they had no permits they were constantly with their bulky carts on the run from the police. One part of the film was shot at the fairgrounds in front of the wholesale market. Newspaper and lottery ticket vendors, propagandists offering their ware for a few pfennigs, all convey the mood of a time when need made people inventive.

The Real Inglorious Bastards

The truth is way stranger than fiction,” muses one interviewee in this unbelievable true account of an incredible war time saga. As the Second World War was coming to a close, the US Office of Strategic Services trained and parachuted two Jewish refugees and a German deserter deep into Nazi occupied Austria. Through vivid first-person accounts, re-enactments, archival footage and learned commentary, the film reveals how their efforts disrupted a vital supply route between Germany and the Italian front to bring about the surrender of Innsbruck to Allied Forces. Their unbelievable adventure has a finale that beats any Hollywood movie hands down — but a story so powerful that it became the basis for Quentin Tarantino’s mega hit.

Resistance Climbing

Nel 2014, il produttore americano Tim Bruns ha trovato le scogliere in un piccolo villaggio a cinque minuti a nord di Ramallah e si è messo al lavoro chiodando tutte le salite facili e poi tracciando le vie di arrampicata in modo che fosse pronto per iniziare a insegnare alle persone come arrampicare. Bruns e Harris hanno anche aperto Wadi Climbing, la prima palestra di arrampicata indoor in Palestina. Oggi, riuniti sulle colline della Palestina devastate dal conflitto, un gruppo eterogeneo di beduini, attivisti e professionisti urbani abbraccia l'arrampicata su roccia come una tregua tanto necessaria dal fardello dell'occupazione israeliana. Lo scrittore e alpinista americano Andrew Bisharat visita la Cisgiordania per esplorare le proprie radici e il potere dell'arrampicata di trasformare la vita. Questo documentario fa parte della serie Reel Rock 17 pubblicata nel 2023.

Il pozzo

Negli anni '90 migliaia di persone in Kurdistan, attivisti politici, studenti, sindacalisti, "scomparvero" dopo essere state detenute e interrogate sotto tortura. In molti casi i loro assassini eliminarono i corpi gettandoli fuori dagli elicotteri o seppellendoli in pozzi pieni di acido. Sono centinaia gli ‘scomparsi’ in Turchia e Kurdistan, assassinati da forze paramilitari come il JITEM (corpo segreto della Gendarmeria) e Hizbul-Kontra (per molti versi predecessore dell’ISIS) che sono state finanziate e sostenute dallo stato. Il documentario racconta il caso di sette persone, tra cui quattro bambini, scomparse nella città di Kerboran [Dargeçit] nel 1995 e l’instancabile ricerca delle loro famiglie per i resti dei loro cari.
