Poster for London Visitors

1936 · ★ 0.0 (0)

The film takes us to the North of England to follow the migration of the black-headed gull down to London. There, the narrator asks viewers to "listen to their gossip", before demonstrating the bird’s flight in slow motion. We see a polecat feasting on gull eggs, and then a man collecting the eggs for human consumption, with the film telling us that they are considered a “delicacy” in London. Indeed, according to the British Trust for Ornithology, around 300,000 gull’s eggs were sold every year in Leadenhall Market in London during the 1930s, when London Visitors was made.

Poster for The Visitors

2023 · ★ 6.5 (1)

The northernmost city in the world, Longyearbyen, is the most populated settlement in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. A Czech social anthropologist attempts to make a new home for herself here with her family whilst also researching social transformations in the local community. The loss of jobs in the mining industry, as well as the complicated relationship between Norwegian natives, foreign immigrants, and tourists all contribute to the city's change of atmosphere whilst the surrounding snowy mountains melt and avalanches threaten the daily existence of the local population. This portrait of the microcosm of an ice town is a raw glimpse into the contemporary globalized world.

Poster for Oxymoron of Eternity

2021 · ★ 0.0 (0)

The film is dedicated to Jorge Luis Borges, one of the giants of the written word of the 20th century. Borrowed and altered from the work of Borges and others, from world history and literature - Noah's Ark, the Tower of Babel, the (anti)utopian new world, the "civilization of the spectacle.", they intertwine with Borges's theories of the cyclicality of time and the infinity of the universe.
