'North from Calabria' is about a dream place to live, where living is easy and people know each other, tolerate their faults, like to meet to talk and just be together. For one summer, Sauter's film crew mingles with the inhabitants of a small town to enact an almost Italian comedy. It appears that all they needed was a few classes of Italian cuisine and the art of carpe diem to turn this Polish province into Calabria alike. A documentary midsummer night's dream.
Marriages are ending. Lives are running out. It's going to be hard when that ends. At least I can ‘talk to you’” says Peter, who has been isolating for a month in his own apartment. Just like almost every Pole. Waiting in isolation for a vaccine that will cure them from the virus of loneliness. At home, they have been recording personal scenes from their life, hoping that someone will listen and maybe ‘hug them’. „Polish Self-Portrait” reveals one year from the pandemic reality. Homemade footage is enhanced by a subjective documentary report from Poland during the COVID-19 era.
Our life is estimated at four dogs. The film is a record of memories associated with each of the dogs. Fragments of biographies reflect a given time through the plot and thanks to the texture of the image.
In the idyllic world of Israeli kibbutzim everything has its own pace. There’s a time for work and for rest. There’s a time for fun too, which is when 9‑year‑old Tom and his friends play hide‑and‑seek or attack each other with a drone. Then there are moments when you have to hide and you only get 15 seconds. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, lose a life if you’re too slow. The film is a documentary observation of life in closed‑off settlements located in a military zone less than 5 kilometres from the Gaza strip.
