"I was born beneath this water. I was 10 years old when it all happened. Some things I remember well, others are blurred and confused. People change address, new churches are built, new bakeries, houses and streets ... But in this case, everything changed at the same time. Perhaps it was a way of pretending that nothing moved at all." During six years the makers shot this film in Luz Village (Portugal), condemned to disappear beneath the waters of the Alqueva dam. Especially for this project, a new village was constructed. But the forced migration does not pass very smoothly, since existing social structures, as well as the unique relation with nature are being disturbed. Combining these images with stories told by children who recollect their life during the moving process, this documentary presents the strange story of this village.

Poster for The Wanderings of Ulick Joyce

1968 · ★ 0.0 (0)

A distinctive animated short inspired by Irish folk tales, made with assistance from the BFI Production Board. Set “long ago when men lived in caves” this tells the tale of Ulick, a would-be king, banished from his realm for his violent and unholy deeds and forced to wander through Ireland and the furthest reaches of his own mind. Inspired by Irish folk tales, the story emerged from director and animator Gillian Lacey’s “train of thought” after reading Flann O’Brien’s "At Swim-Two Birds".

Poster for In a Nearby Field

2023 · ★ 4.0 (1)

A man, a woman and their young daughter live together in an apartment in the Basque Country. Domestic chores and everyday gestures are superimposed onto lush, green landscapes. The filmmakers and their stand-ins reinterpret fragments of a diary. Music fills the house while children’s drawings come to life. Combining quiet observation and moments of fantasy, In a Nearby Field is a film about support, heredity and the invisible labors which sustain us.

Poster for From Sea to See

2015 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Manifest Destiny claimed that all this land, known to the original peoples as Turtle Island, was free for the taking. European settler expansion to the west was inevitable. Outer space became the final frontier after recent conquests. Now even our space fantasies are dwindling. I set out to edit these small rolls of film together as a farewell to Ektachrome, a farewell to the last of Kodak’s color reversal films. It became a meditation on the legacy of Manifest Destiny and the greed of taking what cannot belong to anyone.

While following the tidal direction of the Lena River, which flows north to the Arctic Ocean, elements begin to emerge: familial memories, encounters with animals, the richness of the region’s natural resources, and the realities of their violent extraction.

Svetlana Romanova’s Managa Bar/Rustam’s Habitat brilliantly portrays contemporary youth culture in Yakutsk, the capital city of the Sakha Republic and the coldest city in the world. Divided in half like the two sides of a record, the film immerses viewers in the daily happenings of the filmmaker’s life, depicting her social circle of Yakutian artists, punks, and community inhabitants.

Wilhelm Reich's in The Function of the Orgasm theorised a powerful bioelectrical sexual life force he called orgone energy, it could be harnessed with the use of a device Orgone Accumulator.
