Everything is Fine. I'm Sleeping
In Belarus, the presidential elections of 2020 triggered massive protests and brutal repressions when «concerned» citizens began to report random strangers, their own coworkers, friends, and even relatives to the police—those who participated in protest actions or those who simply publicly voiced their opinion. What was the motivation behind such calls? Who are these people? How do they live today? This will be discussed in the documentary "Everything is fine. I'm sleeping."

House of the Wickedest Man in the World
House of the Wickedest Man in the World
House of the Wickedest Man in the World is the story of a ruined building near the city of Cefalú in Sicily. In the early 1920s, Aleister Crowley, the most famous occultist of his time, lived in the building, practicing magical rituals. In the summer of 1955, Kenneth Anger, considered one of the pioneers of experimental cinema, traveled with sexologist Alfred Kinsey to Sicily to find Aleister Crowley’s temple to shoot a film about the occultist’s time in Cefalú. The Thelema Abbey film was never released.

Oranges
Oranges
"Oranges" is the second in an ongoing portrait of collectivity. The camera pans across a group of artists - one by one in succession - as they engage in an intimate exchange. The gestures make up a new grammar, revealing something that does not make sense because of its proximity to something else, but because something new is understood.

The Red Corridor
The Red Corridor
“Il Corridoio Rosso" is a tale of two corridors, one a copy of the other. One corridor is that of the installation curated by Giovanni Agosti and Jacopo Stoppa at the Triennale di Milano for the 23rd International Exhibition "Unknown Unknowns": the visitor crosses it to access four mysterious rooms inspired by natural elements. The other corridor is that of Agosti's own home, a place saturated with books, paintings and objects that contains - conceals - clues, traces and memories of a lifetime. Fiction and reality blur in a dual exploration that leaves unresolved the mystery of what is hidden at the end of the corridor.

The world according to Lieberman or God in a cage
The world according to Lieberman or God in a cage
Scientist Efim Lieberman, one of the founders of biophysics, shocked many with his eccentricity. But his contribution to science cannot be underestimated. Together with his colleague Vladimir Skulachev, he proved Mitchell's hypothesis about energy exchange in a cell. This was the second most fundamental discovery, after the discovery of the DNA double helix. In the late 70s, Efim Lieberman created a theory of the quantum computer and the quantum nature of consciousness, many decades ahead of time. And at the end of his life, he sets himself the task of creating new knowledge that unites all sciences and religion.

Music of Stars
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.

Healing with cold - Does our body like to be frozen?
Elina Mäkinen, a fan of traditional "avanto" swimming - in holes dug in the ice - is preparing for the Ice Mile, a swimming event organized in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, where the water temperature is around 0°C. How does the young woman resist these extreme conditions? What effects does the cold have on the body? Beyond the risk of frostbite, hypothermia alters the cardiovascular system, even causing death when the internal temperature drops below 25°C. Different factors such as age, fatigue, dehydration or disease can accelerate body cooling.
