Anand Patwardhan's passionate, detailed chronicling of injustices in India has made him the filmmaking conscience of his nation. In The Name of God, Jai Bhim Comrade, and Father, Son, and Holy War stand not only as first-rate documentaries, but as direct interventions on behalf of justice and compassion. After years of work, Patwardhan is back with perhaps his most urgent and thorough film yet. 　　Divided into eight chapters, Reason sets out to chart what Patwardhan sees as India's slide away from the complex tumult of a secular democracy towards hardening divisions of power, caste, and religious belief — lines that are enforced increasingly by violence.

Foča is a municipality in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina where women were raped and abused on a large scale during the Bosnian war. Women, and girls as young as 12 years old, were imprisoned at various locations to be gang-raped, mostly by Serbian fighters. This was cause for the Yugoslavia Tribunal to designate “systematic rape” and “sexual slavery”—war crimes that frequently went unprosecuted—as torture and crimes against humanity. As a result, these crimes can now be universally prosecuted. 　　The so-called Foča case called on great courage from the countless women who testified about their horrific experiences. To preserve their anonymity the women were identified using numbers or letters. In this forensic video essay, filmmaker Kumjana Novakova uses mostly written testimonies by the women to explore the collective memory of the rape camps. In grainy video footage, the camera explores the places where these inhuman crimes took place, while the women speak about the unspeakable. 　　源自：https://festival.idfa.nl/en/film/c925f7a5-aa96-42aa-a222-4f9276df0821/silence-of-reason/

炙手可热的导演对偶然结识的英俊小生一见倾心，当他把男伴拉拔成银幕新星时，却也陷入万劫不复的深渊。影片重新诠释德国新浪潮巨匠赖纳·维尔纳·法斯宾德的《柏蒂娜的苦泪》，并以法斯宾德本人形象将主角性别由女转男。 　　除了找来《无耻混蛋》德尼·梅诺谢与影后伊莎贝尔·阿佳妮同台飙戏，更邀来原作传奇女星汉娜·许古拉现身客串，堪称是向法斯宾德献上了最大胆的致敬。

Is it rational that the dead can communicate with the living and give sound advice on how they should live their lives? What about sticking pins into your body to free the flow of Chi energy and cure your illness? Or the bending of spoons using your mind alone? Is that rational? Richard Dawkins doesn’t think so, and feels it is his duty to expose those areas of belief that exist without scientific proof, yet manage to hold the nation under their spell. He will take on the world’s leading proponents in their field of expertise, meet the victims who have used them and expose the history of the movements – from the charlatans who have milked these practices to the experiments and testing that have failed to produce conclusive results.

Experimental film, white specks and shapes gyrating over a black background, a light-striped torso, a gyrating eggcrate. One of the first Dadaist films.

The earth, life and death, indifference and affection, abandonment, faith. Words and silence, light and shadow, the endless survival, the inability to love. A trilogy set in 2017, 2028, 2037. Three women of different generations and backgrounds cross paths; their tentative steps to fully exist evoke fragments of stories, bringing real life experiences and events into each character.

“The cinematic spectacle has its rules, which enable one to produce satisfactory products. But dissatisfaction is the reality that must be taken as a point of departure. Whether dramatic or documentary, the cinema functions to present a false, isolated coherence as a substitute for communication and an activity that are absent. To demystify documentary cinema it is necessary to dissolve what is called its subject matter.” In this fascinating, seminal anti-film, Guy Debord articulates in full flesh his situationist manifesto, superimposing subtitles and a documentary-style commentary on a catalog of newsreel footage, book covers, rephotographed photographs, views of Paris’ neighborhoods, and seemingly candid footage of him and his friends in wandering between cafes and the street. Whereas the conventions of narrative fictional film would oblige us to separate the filmmaker Debord from both the voice of the film’s commentary and from the “character” played by Debord, a man in his late twenties pursuing a young girl who appears to be no more than seventeen.
