In Piratas y Libélulas, Isabel de Ocampo follows the staging of a play by a group of pupils in a high school in Las Tres Mil Viviendas, a conflictive area in Seville. “Raúl y Julia” is the version, adapted to the present day, of Shakespeare´s “Romeo and Juliet” presented by Los Shespirs (in a joking reference to the English author), a group formed by gypsy and non-gypsy pupils in which there are difficulties and conflicts, but also joy and the desire for self-improvement.

Set against the backdrop of late 1990s and turn-of-the-century Taiwan, The Day I Look at the Ceiling is an intimate, character-driven documentary. Born out of the gritty, hands-on filmmaking tradition of the Tainan National University of the Arts, it explores themes of everyday personal isolation, stagnation, and the psychological state of modern individuals trying to navigate their place in society. The title poetically reflects the vulnerable moments of stillness, boredom, or despair when a person is left alone with nothing to do but stare blankly at the ceiling.

Poster for Pink and White Terraces

2006 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Nova Paul's 16mm film Pink and White Terraces, reflects on the delicate construction of domestic environments and public places in the Tamaki Makaurau and Manukau cityscapes in Aotearoa New Zealand. Using a 'three-colour separation' optical process technique, the film makes visible several moments simultaneously. In red, green and blue layers, colour-coded auras hold records of time like geological accretions. The politics and poetics of these sites gently unfolds as the film moves in and out of phase, as actors and environment focus and fade, and filmic time is made palpable.
