Greater - Defeating AIDS

[ 34:39 ]

Winner of the Documentary Award in the first Babelgum Online Film Festival. The defeat of AIDS in the Naguru and Kireka slums of Kampala (Uganda). This is billed as a non-documentary and, watching the way it pulls together the different stories of Ugandan women who are HIV positive, we soon realise that we’re seeing life there in a way we might not in the mainstream.

REWIND
A kid. A videotape. A boy. An insuperable boundary... Notes:I'm Daniele Santonicola and I'm 19 years old. The video was shot after I was chosen by a tv movie production to make a 2 minute short movie. It had to be written, directed and edited in only one day by myself.

"In Pre-Life we plan everything about our lives; from how we look, who we meet, how we die and all in between. A man persuades a woman to kill him during his life on Earth. The event unfolds... Later, in Post-Life, the woman shares the news that things didn't go exactly as planned."

Officer Down
Winner of the Short Film Award. Once a practicing Catholic, Vincent has become a vigilante cop in the NYPD who robs and kills drug dealers. When his son is almost killed in a hit and run, Vincent sets out to find the one responsible. As clues bring him closer to his mark, Vincent's tortured past comes back to haunt him - and what should be nothing more than a routine dose of street justice might not be quite that simple.

Waiting...
This historical MicroDoc gives a glimpse into the difficulties faced by Palestinian children and their parents in the H2 section of the West Bank city of Hebron during extended periods of curfew in 2003, when contrary to UN regulations, children were regularly prevented from going to school by Israeli soldiers. In the ongoing Israeli/Palestinian conflict, it is easy to lose sight of the ways that the everyday lives of ordinary people can be disrupted. Shot largely on hidden camera to avoid confiscation by the soldiers, this film provides a window to just one aspect of children’s and parents’ lives under military occupation.
