An ode to anger.
A girl struggles with a dissociative episode in her bedroom.

JEEVA is a social satire on today’s pressure culture — where being human is replaced by being perfect, and panic attacks are just the body’s way of saying: slow down. breathe. exist.
2 flatmates unfold the layers of their relationship on a random Sunday afternoon after they encounter a power cut.

Des vertes et des pas mûres
Quatro Linhas
A children's film about the largest mass suicide of the 20th century reconstructs the 1978 event. The Reverend Jim Jones forced nearly a thousand followers of his People's Temple sect to drink poison in the settlement of Jonestown, Guyana, South America. A third of them were children. Jan Bušta gives sadists, voyeurs, and necrophiliacs one minute to leave the cinema. His self-reflective documentary, which is the result of ten years of time-lapse filming, does not depict dramatic scenes. To the sound of an audio recording from that fateful day, we see a collage of child ghosts preaching about escaping the corruption of the world.

Daniela.
