The Use of the Past Participle

Directed by Katia Kissina

Mrs. D., an exhausted French teacher, is struggling to manage her daily life: some students are lagging behind, the school program is pushing her to move faster, and there are even those who judge her work harshly.

Caught between dream and reality, she will not rest until all her students, without exception, have understood the rule of past participle agreement.

El Cant dels Ocells - Quico Tretze i Òmnium Cultural

Directed by Alexandra Pille

An international production to fight for freedom of expression. In this music video, the activists convey their message with the power of their gaze, expressing what is forbidden to articulate through words, making the message even more potent. The song “El Cant dels Ocells” (The Song of the Birds) is a traditional Catalan Christmas carol that has gained international recognition. It holds historical and cultural significance, often associated with messages of hope, freedom, and resilience.

In Spain, the existing legal framework regards peaceful protests as a potential threat to public security, imposing significant fines for acts of civil disobedience and criminalizing online speech. This grants exceptional powers to security services, simultaneously restricting the safeguards afforded to citizens. As political tensions escalated between Madrid and Barcelona following the independence referendum, the limitations on free speech and assembly have intensified.

A touching and uplifting mother-daughter journey through time. You experience how love overcomes suffering and builds lasting memories that give meaning to life and strengthen the soul.

I LIKE YOUR FATHER

Directed by Isabel Bernal

Do you have to tell your partner everything? What is the difference between sincerity and being too sincere?

My cruel friend

Directed by Karina Luchinina

The song of the Latvian actress Karina Luchinina, written on the verses of the 19 century poetry .
The beauty of the syllable can be seen less and less in contemporary musical art, but the poetry is extremely modern and pleasing to the ear. So why not give it a modern sound?
This is the debut work of actress Karina Luchinina as director and producer of the music video. The video was filmed in the historical part of Tallinn in the summer of 2020 in the oldest Dominican monastery in Estonia and on the famous medieval street Katarina käik. A musical group from Estonia “Bacalao Fabuloso” also took part in the recording of the song and in the filming of the video.
In the costumes and details of the props, you can catch not only the breath of the past, but also the symbols of the two Baltic countries.
The video contains a lot of unsaid and elusive, symbolic and philosophical. Everyone can see and feel something of their own.
