Geheimnisse des Jura
Dieser Dokumentarfilm erzählt von Landschaften, Orten, Menschen und Legenden des Jura, die in der Schweiz, ja im Jura selbst,wenig, bis fast nicht, bekannt sind. Der Film ist informativ, in dem er interessante Tatsachen vermittelt. Jedoch beeindrucken hauptsächlich die Bilder und die Musik. Sie ermuntern den Zuschauer das zu erspüren, was den Jura so einzigartig macht und was schwierig in Worte zu fassen - und daher noch nie dokumentiert worden ist.

Guos Childhood

Guos Childhood
Guo Deping grew up during the period of the Cultural Revolution in China. He describes the starvation his family faced, also the deep love he has for his childhood home - which was in a cave. At that time, and for centuries people in Henan province have lived in caves, which left all the land available for growing food. These cave houses were perfectly insulated, warm in winter and cool in summer, and some of them were even luxurious, with grand facades built on the front. A few people still live in caves, though nowadays even the most elegant of cave dwellings are being superseded by grey concrete blocks of flats. Food has always been the main focus in China - though now, as Guo says, things are getting better. But his heart aches for his parents who suffered so much during the Cultural Revolution, working day and night in the fields, forbidden to cook at home when the communal restaurants didn't provide enough food to survive on, so his father had to steal sweet potatoes from the fields and cook them in the forest at dead of night to feed his starving children. Their generation was 'so unlucky' - when they were young there was no food, and now there is enough food they have no teeth to eat with!

Oggetti Smarriti (Das Fundbüro - mit deutschem Untertitel)
A chi non è capitato di smarrire un oggetto di uso comune, proprio quello che avevamo fino ad un attimo prima sotto gli occhi? Un orologio, un paio di occhiali, le chiavi della macchina, la macchina stessa. A Guido capita di perdere la figlia di otto anni. Guido è un quarantenne che pensa solo alle donne, alle macchine e alla bella vita. Una sera, proprio mentre si prepara per una serata con una nuova fiamma, la ex moglie, Silvia, gli piomba in casa affidandogli Arianna, la figlia, per la notte, ha un problema improvviso, dice, e tu che sei il padre per una volta nella vita te ne devi occupare.. Guido non ha scampo: deve cancellare l’appuntamento galante e, forse per la prima volta nella sua vita, suo malgrado, fare il padre. Con riluttanza, prova a prendersi cura della piccola, senza grande successo. Tutte quelle domande e la curiosità della bambina sulla sua vita lo imbarazzano, e poi lui non è abituato ad avere una femmina per casa, almeno non di quell’età. Sembrerebbe solo una serata rovinata, fino a quando, senza apparente spiegazione, la bambina scompare. Eppure era lì, in sala, solo un attimo prima, che rispondeva alle sue parole, anzi lo stava aiutando a ritrovare il cacciavite che aveva appena smarrito. Anche il cacciavite? Beh, il fatto è che proprio quando Guido ha ritrovato il cacciavite gli è sparita la bambina… Abbiamo a che fare con una persona sbadata, uno di quelli che abitualmente dimentica le cose? No, non è così, Guido è un razionale, un professionista, pratico, deciso, affidabile. Dapprima pensa ad uno scherzo, poi immagina che Arianna se ne sia andata, ma dove? In breve Guido arriva ad immaginare le cose più serie o spaventose per quanto improbabili. E’ naturale che il primo passo, appurato che la soluzione non è sotto mano, sia chiamare la polizia. Solo che alla polizia hanno altro da fare che occuparsi di uno che non trova sua figlia, in casa sua, poi… Comunque per queste cose c’è un servizio apposito per il quale bisogna chiamare un altro numero… E da qui inizia il delirio di Guido ed una serie di bizzarre vicissitudini che fanno capo al sedicente UFFICIO OGGETTI SMARRITI e gli faranno conoscere Sofia, la vicina di casa bella, giovane e disinvolta di cui lui non si era mai accorto prima…

Willful Blindness

Willful Blindness
Director and fine artist James Higginson (Emmy Award, 1987) premieres his first feature length experimental art film, WILLFUL BLINDNESS, 2012. WILLFUL BLINDNESS is a mesmerizing story of a gun shot victim as he crawls home, the story of a mother supporting her daughter and story of a daughter who has been a passive recipient of the fruits of evil. A nonlinear, circuitous story that borders stream of consciousness, WILLFUL BLINDNESS rakes the boundary where distant memory meets a familiar present, where the real meets the dream, and where the unconscious seems conscious. This non-verbal experimental art film is a bold and stunning visual interpretation, a kaleidoscopic roller coaster ride through the madness of the mores that consume our contemporary society. WILLFUL BLINDNESS questions our survival choices.

Suspension of Disbelief heisst: die Aufhebung des Unglaubens oder auch das Ausserkraftsetzen von Zweifeln. Ein Begriff, der seinen Ursprung in der Kunst findet und sehr oft in Filmen angewendet wird. Wieviel Unmögliches verzeiht der Zuschauer dem Filmemacher? Jedes Mal, wenn etwas Unglaubliches über die Leinwand flimmert und der Zuschauer es annehmen kann, dann hat “Suspension of Disbelief” statt gefunden. Der Kurzfilm erzählt die Geschichte von Telly Sanders, einem 31-jährigen Amerikaner. Er ist schwer verliebt in Valerie, ein wunderschönes Mädchen. Die beiden scheinen das perfekte Paar zu sein. Als jedoch Telly’s langjähriger Jugendfreund Sam in deren Leben tritt, scheint die innige Liebe aus der Bahn geworfen zu werden. Telly musste als kleiner Junge zuschauen, wie seine Mutter fremdging und war machtlos. Die darauf folgende Scheidung seiner Eltern hat ihn zutiefst geprägt; seine Mutter verliess die Familie und kam nie wieder zurück. Es sieht so aus, als ob ihn die Vergangenheitserlebnisse einholen und er diese neu durchleben muss. Telly erwischt Valerie und Sam im Café, beim Nachhausekommen und später sogar im Bett. Anstatt die beiden sofort zu stellen, entscheidet er sich zu warten. Jedoch zu lange. Irgendwann wird es ihm zuviel und er dreht durch. Blind und verrückt vor Eifersucht entführt er Sam, um diesen zu stellen. Telly will wissen, warum Sam ihm so etwas antun will. Dieser schweigt jedoch und geht anfangs auf Telly’s Drohungen nicht ein. Mit dem wachsenden Druck gesteht er, Val gekannt zu haben und dass er und Val für eine Zeit lang sogar ein Paar gewesen sind. Der Zorn übermannt Telly und er wirft sich auf Sam. Es kommt zu einem tragischen Unfall; Sam liegt blutend und regungslos am Boden. Telly findet Sam’s Tagebuch, welches ihn zu dem Moment zurückkehren lässt, wo die blinde Eifersucht entstanden ist. Telly muss feststellen, dass die Eifersucht seine Wahrnehmung eingehüllt hat und er nur noch das gesehen hat, was er sehen wollte. Aber was ist wirklich geschehen?
