Poster for Dreams from the ocean

2018 · ★ 1.0 (2)

A woman in a pink nightgown is moving through a house with five rooms. She is taking a shower, watching TV, going to bed, getting up for a cup of tea and a cigarette, feeding the cat, and in each room her everyday doings get interrupted by a mysterious figure dressed in black, who seems to emerge from the shadows when you least (or most) expect it. The masked perpetrator keeps killing the female protagonist over and over and with increasing brutality, but she keeps reappearing in the next room as if nothing had happened, only to get killed again.

Poster for Looking Glass Insects

2013 · ★ 0.0 (0)

The film takes its title from chapter three of Lewis Caroll's Through the Looking-Glass. This play of observation makes use of magnifying glasses, used by both entomologists and filmmakers alike. The magnifying glasses can be seen as a visual metaphor for the cinematic process. Yet the insects of the story dissolve into darkness.

Poster for Ukrainian Winter Holidays

1942 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Ukrainian communities of the Canadian prairies still follow the Julian calendar and celebrate Christmas on the seventh of January. Traditional foods are prepared for the holy Christmas Eve supper, eaten when the first star of the evening appears. Then traditional carols and light-hearted dances in gay costume continue the festivities. In striking contrast, on Christmas Day the Ukrainians gather at the Greek Orthodox church to worship in a solemn service with ancient ritual.
