nature

The short essay film is an artistic documentation of aesthetic swarm intelligence. The film-maker suspects that starlings do their meditative looping flight just for his camera. Is it an artistic performance or a biological statement by the birds?

familial relationships

The intimate world of five siblings from a Warsaw block of flats. Lives filled with fairy tales, kids' daily routines, spitting cherry pits off a balcony, and impatiently awaiting a new family member. This story, narrated from a child's point of view, illustrates the value of parental love, focusing especially on the stage of growing up when mum is the centre of the child's universe.

society

A playful doc by an author who hides behind his camera, creating a portrait of the Dutch people as curious and warm individuals. To reveal his protagonists, Guido Hendrikx uses a kind of key no film-maker has ever used before. Let’s be curious as well and see where the author will reach with his camera.
