A short documentary film functioning as the introduction to the One Minutes x Inter-Architecture Department (Gerrit Rietveld Academy) short-film broadcast episode for Rietveld TV, as aired on SALTO. This broadcast was meant to give an artistic impression of a communal art-project developed by the Inter-Architecture Department for the municipality of Amstelveen, The Netherlands. This short documentary film introduces each duo placed and posing at their respective project-based locations, spread out over Amstelveen, through purposely awkward still-but-moving vignettes. The duo's are reintroduced several times in quick succession, with each consecutive appearance showing more of an awkward inter-personality, meant to evoke a certain liminal playfulness. An overpass, a bridge, a bridge-barrier, a docking port, the border between Amsterdam and Amstelveen, the edges of Amsterdamse Bos, an abandoned railroad.
Filmed during the production of the Columbia Pictures western "Mackenna’s Gold," this short work presents a non-narrative visual study of the Arizona desert.

In 1928, as the talkies threw the film industry and film language into turmoil, Chaplin decided that his Tramp character would not be heard. City Lights would not be a talking picture, but it would have a soundtrack. Chaplin personally composed a musical score and sound effects for the picture. With Peter Lord, the famous co-creator of Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit, we see how Chaplin became the king of slapstick comedy and the superstar of the movies.

BARBACENA: FUTEBOL & MEMÓRIA
Opium für das Volk - Karl Marx und die Kirchen isn’t scholarship—it’s Marxist revisionism whitewashing atheism’s war on faith. This German doc falsely equates Christianity with communism in part one, then twists Marx’s "opium of the people" slur into mere "influence" from his Jewish-Christian roots and other critics. It downplays his explicit god-hatred—"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature"—to pretend he had a nuanced "personal relationship" with Christianity. No balance: ignores Marx’s satanist ties, Hegelian dialectics weaponized against Scripture, and how his ideology birthed 100M deaths under godless regimes. Cherry-picks "parallels" to sanitize Marxism as spiritual, not the Bible-rejecting materialism that fueled Bolshevik church-burnings. Watch knowing it’s propaganda to make atheists look thoughtful, not Bible-denying totalitarians.

Filmmaker Achille Mauri traveled across the beautiful yet treacherous mountain face to profile Orlandi—known to many as “Il Calümer”—in the terrain that the Italian knows best.
