La vida a través de Vega
The Asturian Valentín Vega is considered one of the most relevant photographers of the last century. He knew how to portray all the essential elements of daily life like no one else and at the same time exercise a devastating display of social criticism. After spending three years in prison for his political affiliation and managing to establish himself as a street photographer, he would continue to offer an unusual image of reality and daily life from the 1940s onwards.
How Much for Art?
Art, auctions, huge valuations of individual works, a market full of enigmas. The inaccessibility of the art world and its business mechanisms, incomprehensible to many, have always worked on the imagination. However, the incredible growth of interest in buying art in Poland over the past few means that the curtain of mysticism must be slowly falling. “How Much for Art?” is a look at the Polish art market, which with the political transformation has changed from a marginal and obscure curio to a modern, professional machine, opening for some artists of the youngest generation the gates of success inaccessible to their predecessors.
Music of Stars
Residents of megacities rarely look at the starry sky. For ordinary people, space is a cold, lifeless, empty space; for an astronomer, it is an endlessly changing, unexplored world. Space is filled with information, and there are people who observe these events, record them, investigate them, and try to make them more tangible, turn them into music, the music of the stars.
Self-Fiction, Self-Migration
The director/researcher speaks about her migration, and her complex relationship with her field of studies in Rajasthan. This movie is built on the basis of a musical collaboration between the researcher and Salim Khan, a musician.
I Feel Your Silence
Every sentence about grandma is like a loss. She didn't talk much - certainly not about what moved her. It is only after her death that I use this film to search for how war and violence affect relationships and create silence. In everyday life, in the household and in the family. Digging out, looking for continuities, creating continuities lies this film’s soul. A tender portrait that takes us back to a time, which still resonates with us today.

Children’s Game #39: Parol
First we drive past harrowing scenes of missile and bullet damage, into an area that’s still intact. At a crossroads not far from the frontline, three boys in fatigues, with wooden guns, act out a grown-up duty: to uncover Russian spies. The drivers, both soldiers and civilians, are cheered by the children’s playful solidarity. Cars are flagged down, IDs requested, trunks inspected. A password is demanded: “Palyanitsya”, the name of a traditional Ukrainian bread, and a word that Russians can’t pronounce right. As it happens, bread also is the universal symbol of life.
Ibayo

Reverse Perspective
Almost 30 years of work in television. His films and programs have won prizes at prestigious television and film festivals.

He teaches students Camerawork, instills in them a love for the profession, but he no longer harbors illusions.
Nikolai Obukhovich. Beyond the Amalgam of Being
Nikolai Obukhovich is one of the most non-trivial and subtle non-fiction authors in the history of Soviet and Russian cinema.

But among the Leningrad and Moscow intelligentsia, Obukhovich's tapes have always aroused genuine interest, thanks to a special look at seemingly well-established, trivial things and concepts.
