Greater - Defeating AIDS
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.

Cataclysm in New Orleans
‚Cataclysm in New Orleans‘ is a documentary feature, that was filmed six months after the catastrophy of hurricane Katrina (August 2005). Its orientation follows the perspective of victims and helpers. Musicians, artists, civil rights activist and medics tell about their experiences during and after the flood. Moreover, European directors Ralph Klein and Elias Scheideler manage to sketch out the historical context of the event by way of montage, selection and form. Unadulterated by the filters and mechanisms of the global media machinery, the film shows the breadth of the catastrophy and the conditions it uncovered for the people in this place of such great significance to U.S. American cultural history. The selection of interviewees from various social points of reference, who express their experiences and sentiments each in their very own way, ensues a more intimate notion about the contiguities of the New Orleanean society, but as well provides an interior view on U.S. American reality after the first bigger steps into the third millennium. This is a 50 min edit of the full 59 minute film.

Beddu Nostru Signuri
Beddu Nostru Signuri is an intense and suggestive journey through the atmospheres, charged with color, pathos and mysticism, of religious celebrations held in various Sicilian towns.To the urgent rhythmn of the song written by Guglielmo Tasca appears a series of parades with emotional, adoring, excited and festive crowds of people. The editing is tight, the images saturated with people, movement and color. The details of bodies, faces, details of the religious vestments and the more profane aspects linked to the celebrations - the wine, the money put in the collection, the gunshots come thick and fast. Using a keen documentary angle that is careful to capture atmosphere and unusual viewpoints, the video offers us a panorama of a world strongly anchored to religious belief, tradition and collective rituals.
