Screens
Recent studies say average adults will spend at least half of their lives in front of a screen. The documentary investigates how Brazilian digital influencers are using social media to promote activism on social topics such as racial representation, LGBTQ+ issues, feminism, and politics. They create content for different platforms, raising awareness on taboo topics in a light and deconstructed way, sharing their daily lives and creating a sense of community among their followers. Could our screens be the mirrors of the souls of today's societies?

The Sowing
"The Sowing" tells the story of one of the oldest continuously operating garden farms in Warsaw. It is also a film about a multi-generational family that owns this farm. We observe the lives of the family members and their work. From a modern perspective, the events in the film seem to unfold somewhat slowly, and the farm itself resembles a fairy-tale enclave. Beneath this charming and unhurried layer, we seek answers to many questions, including whether it is enjoyable to be a gardener today and whether it was enjoyable to be one many years ago.
