Two-eyed Ireland

2008 • 60 min • South Korea
In 2006, the ethnic fusion band ‘2nd Moon’, who became famous with their song ‘In West Sky’ featured in the TV drama *Ireland*, visited the home country of their first album’s guest singer, Lynda Cullin, for the first time. What started out as a casual trip turned into a serious fascination with the culture and its music for two of the band members, Hyun-bo and Hye-ri. A year later, in August 2007, they formed a five-member Irish trend project band ‘Bard’ and went to the World Fleadh in Portlaoise, Ireland, each with only their instruments. Music in Ireland is deeply connected to daily life and reflects the country’s painful history.

As a result of the excessive (and normally unacceptable) developing process after shooting, the emulsion has peeled off. What exactly are moving images? The image, which reaches such an extreme that the audience may or may not be able to recognise the subject, is accompanied by an intense rhythm of flicker that shakes the viewer’s perception.

It takes stand-up comic Donzilla 15 seconds to get dirty on his first stand-up comedy video SMUT. There has never been a more appropriately titled release. There is nothing sacred for this comedian aside from freedom of speech.

In 2002, a woman from the Pakistani countryside named Mukhtar Mai made world headlines. After the rumour that her 12-year-old brother was having a relationship with a woman from another clan, Mukhtar was gang-raped by order of the village council. Instead of committing suicide, she spoke out and the six men were sentenced to death, although five of them were eventually acquitted. Against all the codes of her society, Mukhtar took her case to the Supreme Court. After the Rape doesn't comment on the outcome of her case.

Ortona 1943: A Bloody Christmas

2008 • 52 min • Italy
It was one of the bloodiest and most mysterious battles of the Second World War in Italy. In Ortona, a small seaside town in the Abruzzo region, Germans and Canadians literally fought street by street, house by house, even room by room. Why did everyone want to conquer Ortona in December 1943? What was so important about it? Why was it forgotten so quickly afterwards? And what secret does Ortona hide until this day? Amazing library footage, never before heard eyewitness accounts, documents that have remained secret until now, recently found German photographs and moving re-enactments help us to relive not only the political and military climate of the time, but take us back to the narrow alleys of the time, standing side-by-side with the soldiers to discover the embarrassing truth that has remained hidden for over half a century.

2008 • 4 min
The world is what sound is: Main motive is the speaker - on masts, in halls, on roofs in cars, living rooms, in headphones and handsets, in radio installations. Listeners are to be seen in parts or blured only. Sound gets through the speakers, as unclear part of communication and dialogues, distorted music and announcements, search of transitions, noise. Volker Schreiner gives a new, a different, a forgotten voice to the general and omnipresent noise, that since a long time is no more experienced in the mordern world.

2008 • 52 min • Tunisia
The image of an ageless black woman, who is called Oummi Fatma or Myriam or Selma, is engraved forever on the memory of every inhabitant of Zarzis, our small native town located in the south-east of Tunisia. This fantastic matchmaker of all work is indispensable because she is fully in charge of the complex ritual of the wedding ceremony and facilitates the bride and groom's difficult transition to married life. Oummi Fatma is one of the last women of her generation who still goes through this ritual whose secrets she alone knows and which a brutal modernization threatens to end forever.
