The Making of Lulladie | Music Documentary



Composed by Berlin songwriter Blake Day, "Lulladie" is an enchanting lullaby about death, inspired by traditional nursery rhymes and Nick Cave's Murder Ballads. "The Making of Lulladie" documentary tells the story of the birth of a song with a soul, as well as this unique project and its creators - independent musicians from all over the world who play in different bands of various musical genres but have one key thing in common: they have chosen Berlin, Europe's arts Mecca, as their home and creative hub.
Language: English.



Mirages | Experimental



Sometimes past memories can come back and haunt you. Some things are more precious because they don’t last. The border between illusion and reality begins to blur... The actress Sophie Bauer films moments of beauty to make them everlasting. “Mirages” explores the relationship between cinema and the other arts; cinema has the power to blend several artistic experiences together and to immortalise what would otherwise be lost. “Mirages” is a subtly ironic tribute to the magic of filmmaking.



D.I.V.A. | Video Art



A tragic chanteuse finds her political conscience into the mirror. A whip-wielding dominatrix dances on the ruins of a wounded capital. An ethereal creature from deep space weaves a network of virtual body parts. Guided by the memories of German singer Antje Palka, we embark on a visual and conceptual journey that will take us from the gravest atrocities of World War II to the darkest recesses of cyberspace. D.I.V.A. as a 4-step journey to Altermodernity, the place where one’s own roots are mobile and temporary.



Delphina | Dark Comedy



Davide is the last wheel of the wagon. His boss enslaves him and his colleagues treat him like a bathroom carpet. Despite the daily humiliations, he dreams of being promoted. Saying goodbye to short- term contracts seems to be a “Mission Impossible”, but Davide is as determined as a samurai. Delphina is a French diva. Chic, beautiful and decadent, she only comes out at night. Like every femme fatale, sheʼs wrapped up in mystery. Davide and Delphina seem to be from different planets, but they share a little secret..
Language: Italian with English subtitles.



Falcong



Documentary



LOGLINE
A day in the life of Giovanni Granati, an Italian falconer and wild animal trainer who lives in the unspoiled countryside of Abruzzo, alongside his hawks, eagles, wolves and other incredible creatures.

DIRECTOR STATEMENT
I have always been inspired by people who have chosen to live life by their own set of rules, rather than passively accepting those that society has dictated to us since birth. Instead of trying to fit into the social box, these people have the unique ability to shape their own reality around the things that ignite their spark. Giovanni Granati is one of these people: falconer, wild animal trainer, pianist, TV personality and published author. His many talents express uncommon passion, courage and drive. “Falcong” is a glimpse into the art of falconry, which dates back thousands of years, but also a refreshing, inspiring perspective on the art of life. The viewing experience leads us deep into the beautiful, unspoiled wilderness of Abruzzo, the Italian region with the greatest presence of wild fauna and flora—a land where the wolves, falcons and eagles trained by Giovanni dwell among breathtaking ruined castles and majestic medieval fortresses.
