Quills

church 00:55:00

What's wrong with us as a civilization that for centuries we are entirely fine with killing other human beings: since ancient Roman battles, through crusades, wars and terrorist attacks; and we cannot accept sex? What's wrong with us, as today we watch people from Syria sending messages pleading for help and we're numb as we're afraid of our religious beliefs threatened, our jobs...

You'd think that having the same genes would create a bond between people, a connection which develops into mutual respect and reliability. You'd think that sisters would love each other despite comparisons, that brothers would be comrades in spite of competitiveness. Two children can be as different from each other as two sides of the same coin. Two siblings can grow up to...

crime 09:41:00

Can you put an equivalent between every crime? What should be perceived more punishable?

In Hiding/W Ukryciu

crime 06:41:00

There are so many stories of war victims. While millions perished in gas chambers or were killed in battles, uprisings and bombings, from time to time an individual story of survival comes to light. A boy who spent years in someone's attic, a girl adopted by a couple, forced to pretend that she's of a different faith. Or a woman who lost everything...

The Light Between Oceans

Alicia Vikander 10:44:00

We live in gaps. Some people have too much of everything and they spend money on unnecessary things. Some people live below a dollar a day and don't spend at all because they cannot afford anything. Some people live a lifetime with one person, for some even a hundred lovers don't seem to be enough. Some don't want to have children and they...

Little Children

Marguerite & Julien

Anaïs Demoustier 04:16:00

For centuries people couldn't accept one human form of relationship. While big age difference between lovers doesn't raise eyebrows of too many people, when same-sex love seems to be regularized and marriage is a possibility in many countries, people still have problems with accepting incest. What makes a brother and a sister so besotted with each other that they'd rather die than be...

Love is one of the greatest mysteries on Earth. It makes everything fade: your family, pursuits, even your dreams. It makes you reevaluate some priorities in life.

In Defense of Food

Africa 01:17:00

Every day we make food decisions. We decide what to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, what snacks to buy in between our meals, whether to eat at home and prepare the meal ourselves, whether to buy ready meals and just preheat them with little effort, whether to go to a standard restaurant or to a fast food restaurant. The majority of our...

The game of love seems to be so easy. Ideally, you fall in love, get married and spend the rest of your life with this one person. Why then it still happens to so few of us? What if you are in love with more than one person? Why is it so difficult to make one choice and stick to it for the...

Don't you have a feeling that we got lost somewhere in between the McDonald's burger, coffee machine, Nike shoes and a whole lot of labels?

Irréversible

abuse 02:31:00

We are surrounded by nudity, pornography, and sex. We pay models for sexual poses to advertise clothes, perfumes, and shoes. We associate sex with attractiveness, we take demand for desire.

Before the Flood

Africa 02:40:00

Let's talk about climate change. Let's talk about me. I eat beef, which contributes significantly to the air pollution as cows need a lot of plants to eat and, as a result, they produce gases which go to the atmosphere. I'm neither vegan nor vegetarian, which means I kill animals for the pure pleasure of consuming meat. Of course, I don't kill them...

The Wolfpack

Not so long ago the window to the outside world was for many of us overshadowed by the curtain of the lack of money for travel.

Do you believe in reincarnation? Does your sixth sense tell you that you lived, sometimes, in a different place, in a different epoch, in utterly distant circumstances?

Do you believe that people who loved us, stay with us...

The Handmaiden

crime 01:04:00

There are cinematic gems which amaze us with the beauty of images, complications of plot and unexpected endings. There are stories built on grounds far different from the cliches of predictability.

Women are complicated, powerful and motivated creatures. When everyone talks about their basic roles (of mothers, lovers, daughters, and wives) their real desires seem to be neglected.

Parents seem to know us better than anyone else.They were with us from the time we could barely open our eyes and scream out of hunger, fatigue or pain.

And then we grew up, with different desires, with a whole lot of secrets kept from them, with...

Love and loss go together hand in hand. Isn't losing the one you love what you're most afraid of? And what would you do to prevent this event from happening?

It's funny how different desires shape us as people. Some girls want to be mothers, as they like playing the house and pushing strollers with dolls. Some boys like to imagine themselves in spacecrafts made of cardboard boxes and some are pushing cars imitating ambulances or fire engines. Some girls want to be soldiers as they don't mind the perils of war. Others...

After the Dark/The Philosophers

boarding school 08:16:00

I simply adore the phase your mind falls into, occasionally, when bored, weighed by the life events, or when there's nothing to do and nothing to talk about. You wonder, then, what is the purpose of our life, think about the reasons for our behaviors, imagining countless what ifs and what nots. You make possibilities seem greater than life. Doing that with people...

Let the Right One In/ Låt den rätte komma in

Bram Stoker didn't predict one thing. Times change. Civilizations develop. Sunlight can be created by machines and blood can be stored in little plastic bags.

We have needs of profane nature. We need food, water, shelter, warmth, we need people to surround us and interact with. We need jobs to make us feel important.

Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World

artificial intelligence 11:07:00

Technology fascinates us. It dominated every sphere of life, it turned upside down the way we conduct shopping, business and love affairs. It shrunk the world as nowadays, no matter where you live, you can be as close to the second hemisphere as sitting on the couch right next to someone else. Internet got rid of distance. It changed movies, newspapers, publishing. It...
