FESTIVAL PROGRAM FOR 19 APRIL

Natalia and Daniel are blind, but that condition was never an impediment for them, they live their lives to the full and love each other. Suddenly, something interrupts everything, imposing itself and hindering what blindness could not.

Silvia has lived most of her adult life in a community of deaconesses. For some time now she has been traveling to the site of a Nazi concentration camp of which her own grandfather was the commander. Using performance art, she explores the secret of how our ancestors shape us. Dealing with her family history and her childhood trauma leads to an unexpected and beautiful turning point in the life of the Christian woman.

Jessie is trying to get him to face up to his current situation so he can move on. The story of loss and how love goes beyond death.

The Jordan River has played a major role in shaping human society as we know it, providing freshwater and fertile soil for some of the earliest civilizations and witnessing the rise and fall of empires. For centuries, the lower Jordan Valley has served as one of the largest bird migration sites in the world, as well as the biologically diverse sanctuary where the flora and fauna of the East African and West Asian continents come together.

Today, the river tells a different story from the life-giving tale it has told for a millennium revealing the devastating impact of human political conflict as Syria, Jordan, and Israel take from the Jordan River without international regulation or waste-management infrastructure. The tension between the riparian nations and the lack of a trilateral water management agreement has allowed for excessive extraction, harmful waste practices, and a tendency to assign blame to others rather than take responsibility for the river’s well-being. As a result, the Jordan River has seen its water flow reduced by 96% over the last sixty years.

The journey begins as five friends attempt to navigate the river from its source in the mountains of the Golan to its endpoint in the Dead Sea. As the group travels south on the water, weaving between Israel, Jordan, and Palestine, they meet the people most affected by the river’s demise, and those fighting fiercely to protect it. Climate change and human conflicts around the world continue to exacerbate water-stress, which can eventually lead to gross mismanagement, water scarcity, and wars. DOWN RIVER JORDAN is a documentary about hope in the face of environmental destruction, one river’s potential to inspire cooperation, and the source of life that unites us all: water.

In an intimate prayer dedicated to Temazcal Toci, an ancient Aztec divinity, this documentary invites us to reflect upon our bond with Mother Earth and our connection to the spiritual world. It explores the different ways to practice the Temazcal, a sacred ritual that has been preserved in Mesoamerica for thousands of years. While watching the unravelling of this little-known ceremony, we’ll hear from experts explaining the history, benefits and wisdom behind this ancient medicine and get a glimpse of the vibrant culture that is the pulse of Mexico.

Uncivilized is the incredible true story detailing one man's confrontation with one of the deadliest hurricanes of all time...ALONE, in the wild.

In 2017 Michael Lees set out to the forest with nothing more than some basic tools, religious texts and camera gear. His goal: to find a way out of the modern perils of overconsumption, technology addiction and global warming. But three months in, Category 5 Hurricane Maria - one of the most powerful hurricanes of all time - made a direct hit on Michael’s island. All of a sudden, the entire island must reckon with itself as the entire population is sent back to the stone age.
