'Ikigai' follows Mayumi, a 9-year-old girl, as she tries to find balance in her Japanese identity and American nationality. Hanako, her mother who celebrates their culture through Nihon Buyo, sees Mayumi's new school as an opportunity to share their culture with the white students. When Mayumi is assigned a show-and-tell presentation, she takes it as a chance to prove to her classmates that she is not that different from them. But, that plan is soon ruined when Hanako unexpectedly shows up and teaches the class a Japanese dance, embarrassing and exposing Mayumi's cultural background. After coming home ashamed of her mother and Japanese identity, Mayumi receives guidance from her parents that motivates her to return to school and redo her show and tell in a way that would make her ancestors proud.

Such a film should be made. The phenomenon that is the All-Polish Youth in Poland needs to be analyzed and looked at carefully with the "patient eye" of a documentary filmmaker. Until now, we have only viewed the All-Polish Youth through hurried news or journalistic discussions. Who are the people who make up this organization? What are their motivations? The path of life? What caused them to get involved in social and political activities? These are just some of the questions this film asks to find out the answer to the question of why the idea of a pre-war youth organization has become important and carried in modern Poland. The heroes of the film are both the leaders of this organization and its ordinary members. We want to look at Poland through their eyes. What does it mean for them today to fight for Poland, what does it mean - to be a Pole? How do they want to instill their radical patriotism in others?

The video work “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: BELANCIEGE” by Hito Steyerl, Giorgi Gago Gagoshidze and Miloš Trakilović, created in 2019, is now more topical than ever: referencing the fashion labels Balenciaga and Vetements, the artists investigate how data analysis practices within the fashion industry are used in targeted advertising on social media. How much this manipulation of the media endangers our democracy has been demonstrated, among other things, by the re-election of Donald Trump on 5 November 2024. What future do democratic systems have when the public sphere can be bought and sold and is flooded with false statements based on identity politics?
