Composition
Slet 1988

Slet 1988

A legendary dance solo from the last mass public performance (slet) in former Yugoslavia sparks a reflection on how bodies, architecture, and political ideas change simultaneously—but each in their own way.
Manal Issa, 2024

Manal Issa, 2024

Without appearing on camera, Lebanese-French actress Manal Issa answers the same questions about her profession that were asked of actress Maria Schneider in 1983. Issa has taken the decision to stop acting until there is a ceasefire in Gaza.
Bardo

Bardo

Undergoing darkness therapy means spending at least seven days alone in a completely dark room. Viera Čákanyová undertook this retreat, and turned her radical experience into a powerful sensorial adventure filled with hypnotic phantom visuals.
