The Kiev Trial
The Kiev Trial, also known as the ‘Kiev Nuremberg’, took place in January of 1946 in the Soviet Union, and was one of the first post-war trials convicting German Nazis and their collaborators. 15 criminals, guilty of atrocities, which were later identified by the Nuremberg trials as “crimes against humanity”, faced justice in case No.1679 “On the atrocities committed by fascist invaders on the territory of the Ukrainian SSR.” Using unique, previously unseen, archive footage, Sergei Loznitsa reconstructs key moments of the proceedings, including statements of the defendants and testimonies of the witnesses, survivors of Auschwitz and Babi Yar among them.

Nada tiene el color
We weren't seeking salt, but something less controversial—a culture exemplary in many senses, with its myths and the representations made by travelers. Dictionaries, documentaries, sociology books about the first humans. However, what we found was a series of poorly disguised lies throughout a system of audiovisual representation of the last government, but also of all governments. This film is about our precarious system of lies and our questions about what might be underneath or in front. In this case, in relation to salt, lithium, myths, mythologies, and mystifications.
