Participatory video, made by a couple of Indians of the Reserve of Coroa Vermelha, northern Brazil. The young directors approach with their camera the tourists that come to see the Indians, or plan to relax on the Reserve´s magnificent beaches. The filmic encounter between the „ native“ and the „Other“ leads both of them to amore through reflection about the „image“ of Indianness.

What should antropological films be like? How to come to terms with alternating view of the world and with stereotypes in us? In a 3-year span, this issue kept busy an execution team around Milan Durňak who went back to his home-village to capture life of Roma people together with their Ruthenian neighbours. Every stay in the Roma colony brought one episode of a film which captures everyday life, tries to describe problems which trouble them and constantly strive to jump over their own shadows. The spectator has a chance to encounter a story in a social-cummunity centre with a hard-working mayor and festivals in the village and think about the worries and merriments of one Roma colony.
A short documentary about travelling and the desire to move. It focuses on the ideas and stories of Artesanos – people who live a nomadic lifestyle, travel around Latin America and produce their own jewellery in order to fund their lives. It questions the reasons for choosing this way of life, the significance of travelling and represents their invisibility and intangibility while moving. It is a mix of Super 8, Photographs and sound.
