En djungelsaga / The Flute and the Arrow. 1957. FULL-FD.

En djungelsaga / The Flute and the Arrow. 1957. FULL-FD.
The Flute and the Arrow (Swedish: En djungelsaga) is a 1957 Swedish drama film directed by Arne Sucksdorff. It was entered into the 1958 Cannes Film Festival.
A documentary about the muria people of the Bastar jungle in central India.
After mainly having explored the nature and wild-life of his own Sweden, Sucksdorff this time took his cameras (for the first time loaded with colour film), his hand-picked crew and his imagination to Bastar, a little jungle village in the heart of India. Bastar is populated by Murias, aboriginals with a great urge to live happily together in peace. To live and let live... The story revolves around Chendru, a small boy who lives in Bastar with his grandfather, his cousin Ginjo and Ginjo´s wife, Riga, who is not a Muria. One day a leopard appears near the village. Chendru reaches for his bow but is stopped from shooting; it might be a bad omen. Maybe it is the same leopard that once killed Chendru´s father. The next day Chendru, again, spots a leopard, which triggers a series of dramatic events, involving the lives of both animals and human beings.
Director: Arne Sucksdorff.
Cast: Chendru, Ginjo, Martin Held, Riga, Tengru-Shikari, Hangaru.

In the summer of '68, when mom decides to leave everything behind to start a new life in Greece, Léon is prepared to do anything to kill the pain.

Downside Up. 1984. FULL-HD.

Downside Up. 1984. FULL-HD.
A film which, by the use of a simple camera movement, explores and reviews some relationships to the ground. The viewpoint continuously orbits places, objects, people and events. The observations gradually speed up to reveal a double sided ground flipping like a tossed coin, then slow again to oscillate about the earths edge.
The earth seems to continually flip over in this special trick film by artist Tony Hill. In his own words, it's a film which "by the use of a simple camera movement, explores and reviews a number of relationships to the ground". The effect has been mimicked in pop vidoes for songs by Cabaret Votaire and Pulp.

Duhová kulicka. 1995. FULL-HD.

Duhová kulicka. 1995. FULL-HD.
Vraťme se nyní do dětských let. Skoro každý z nás měl tenkrát duhovou kuličku a přes její něžné barvy vídal svět podivuhodně ztřeštěný. S podobnou kuličkou se setkáme i v dnešním křehkém příběhu, který vypráví o životní moudrosti a laskavosti. Začíná docela všedně – zaneprázdnění rodiče vezou svého syna k příbuzným do jižních Čech. Milan je zvědavý především na dědečka, o němž doma hodně slyšel – nejčastěji to, že se chová jako „malej“. Pokud jde o první dojem, určitě ho nezklamal. Přijede s rodiči do nejlepšího, právě když strýc Václav s tetou honí po dvorku čuníka. Ferda totiž není jen obyčejné prase na vykrmení, ale i dědův kamarád. Proto ho také děda občas vypustí z chlívku, aby se proběhl. Tady se začínají odvíjet nitky příběhu o tom, jak stáří, které „chodí špatně, ale radí dobře“, pomáhá mládí učit se radovat z každého dne, učí je vidět a rozpoznávat krásy (třeba právě s pomocí duhové kuličky), které jiní nevidí nebo vidí jinak.
