Rubber Coated Steel and Handbook
Handbook (Handbuch) (Country: Belarus, Germany; Year: 2021; Director: Pavel Mozhar)
In the days following the presidential election in Belarus in August 2020, numerous protests erupt throughout the country.
Liturgy Of Anti-Tank Obstacles (Country: Ukraine, US; Year: 2022; Director: Dmytro Sukholytkyy-Sobchuk)
Reality in Ukraine was divided into two periods - before the war and after. Every citizen tries to be useful in this national resistance. Ukrainians change their professions and adapt to the needs of wartime. In art workshops, sculptors make anti-tank obstacles. Silent figures of Ukrainian figures, angels, Cossacks and multiple copies of Jesus Christ, like a terracotta army, frozen in anticipation of new creations.
On The Origin Of Fear (Country: Indonesia; Year: 2016; Director: Bayu Prihantoro Filemon)
One soldier and one prisoner. Two soldiers and one film director. That day, they talk to each other very intimately: about pain, loyalty, betrayal, drama and terror.
Rubber Coated Steel (Country: Lebanon, Germany; Year: 2017; Director: Lawrence Abu Hamdan)
May 2014: two unarmed Palestinian teens are killed by Israeli soldiers on the West Bank.
