Located in Ardmore, Waterford, Saint Declan’s Well dates back to the 14th century. In this film, the viewer is shown parts of the oratory and Saint Declan’s tower, but perhaps the most interesting is footage of a man and a woman walking underneath Saint Declan’s stone. Legend has it, on the feast day of the saint (24th of July) pilgrims would crawl under the stone as a cure for arthritis. However, the mythical tale also warned that the stone should not be approached by the unworthy, as they risked getting stuck and trapped for their sins.

As future cinema owners, the Horgan Brothers had the foresight to know any event that attracted enormous crowds was worthy of filming. From 1917, their amateur newsreel The Youghal Gazette was shown in The Horgan Picture Theatre, and people from the locality would come to catch a glimpse of themselves on the big screen. This footage of church goers leaving Sunday mass and walking down the church steps in Youghal, is one of the finest examples from their collection and vividly illustrates the broad strata of society that came to worship.

The Youghal Clock Tower is a light-hearted and playful exploration of the possibilities of animation in its infancy. In this short, the well-known landmark is depicted dancing into frame as the clock gate comes to life, spinning and dancing through the main street of the Cork town. It is likely that James Horgan was one of the earliest animators in Irish film history, as he experimented with film production techniques, including stop-motion animation and the use of models, as well as retouching still photographs.

David Sims' impressionistic National Film Unit short film explores the responses of four NZ painters to a landscape illuminated by a distinctive light, but yet to feel the full impact of human settlement. The award-winning film examines Brent Wong’s floating architectural shapes, Colin McCahon’s religious symbolism, Toss Wollaston’s earth-hued palette, and Michael Smither’s hard-edged realism. Their works are taken from safe gallery confines and moved closer to their subject matter, while the words of writers (Katherine Mansfield, Charles Brasch, Bill Pearson) provide another angle.

“Metamorphism” is a creative reflection on resource extraction and its effects on the environment. It focuses on mining slag waste from the Blinman Copper Mine in the Northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia, as a way of imaging the incredible forces human society and technology exert upon the earth. This project continues a long-standing collaboration between media artist Grayson Cooke and sound artist Dugal McKinnon, investigating the relationship between geological “deep time” and the technologically amplified time of the human.

Above the tip of Cape York, beyond the northernmost point of the Australian continent, are the Torres Strait Islands. The economy here is based on home gardens and pearlshell fishing. The culture, with its basis in music, dancing, and ceremony, provides a striking contrast to that of mainland Australia. This film, shot in the late 1960s, shows how strongly old traditions still affect Torres Strait Islander people, even though they also have most of the trappings of modern life.

Shaken by his experience, McManus decides to go in search of Hammond's pictures and explanations of them. The artist's unavailability restricts him to questioning and observing those whose lives have also been affected by Hammond's paintings.

“In Germany, I bought an old 35mm Debrie camera. I spent several weeks working with this camera and found that its mechanics were marvelously thought out and that the way the camera was made was proof of the skilled craftsmanship back then. I developed a procedure which also allowed me to use the camera as a printing machine. The printing process is not so different from the filming process, as far as the transport of the film goes. ... It was a lot of fun to try to exhaust the possibilities of the Debrie. It was not only the mechanics that were exciting, like the works of a wonderful old clock, but the numerous possibilities for the realization of the second part of the film, too. This consists mainly of what has already been shot, but offers at least 50% more experimental manipulations in the printed part.” (HHKS)

Dorian Supin’s third documentary film of Arvo Pärt steps closer to the composer, showing him in a domestic setting as a composer, husband, father, and grandfather. The title “Even if I lose everything” refers to an entry in Arvo Pärt’s musical notebooks, which the composer browses in the film, together with Immo Mihkelson. The musings and recollections inspired by the notes in these journals, in parallel with domestic scenes, shed light on the composer’s life and creative philosophy, painting a personal, in-depth picture of Arvo Pärt. The film’s soundtrack includes excerpts from Pärt’s works.

"This classic historical account of systemic oppression is difficult to watch, and it’s supposed to be that way. Told almost exclusively through archival footage of police brutality against black residents of the Philadelphia area, including news stories and on-the-ground accounts by reporters, Black and Blue pulls zero punches. More than three decades later, far too little has changed. Sobering and essential viewing." — Soham Gadre in Popula.com

"By advising citizens to get into “get in good trouble, necessary trouble,” the late congressman and civil rights hero meant taking action that creates real material change. Porter’s documentary traces Lewis’s path through American history, from Bloody Sunday to the March on Washington, and is warmed by the inclusion of personable conversations with those closest to him." — Soham Gadre in Popula.com

Though the title of the film has not survived, the title cards have remained intact. The film takes its audience on a tour of the newly built theatre building, designed by Finnish architects Armas Lindgren and Wivi Lönn. The two-winged landmark was built as an opera house and a concert hall. At the end of the film, the actors and actresses of the time are showing off for the cameraman. Whether Johannes Pääsuke is the author of this film is questionable. It is possible the Parikas brothers, photographers from Tallinn, actually shot the film.

With a few exceptions, the film consists of picturesque vistas, as referred to in the title. What brings the snapshots to life is the beauty of nature — the springtime Southern Estonian landscape. The film introduces Vällamägi, Haanja, the 318-metre Munamäe Hill, Lake Vaskna, River Võhandu, and the ruins of the Vastseliina Bishop Castle. The end with the church of Räpina is somewhat out of context.

Using footage from socialist era Mongolia, Nomadtitude deals with the transition of the traditionally nomadic people to a lifestyle of urbanization. A changing of roads throughout the years and the movement of people from all across the country to the cities. A timeline of changing physical and spiritual paths. Primary instincts of the nomads, such as having a deep respect for natural surroundings, were forcefully replaced by socialist dogma and, later, capitalist machinations. This work presents the roads taken and not taken by the Mongolian nomads up until now.

A road trip about a couple fighting for who they want to be told with a lot of humor.

The Studio Diaries are a series of 100 short films created throughout 2018, each film taking the form of a diary entry shot, edited and released online in a single day. Over the course of seven months the films capture the workings of our daily creative practice, but more than simply documenting, the Studio Diary Series are creative thought in action. Each film is an investigation into the language of moving images, exploring how narrative and meaning are constructed through the relationship between sound and image.

Not many people know that there is in the center of Hong Kong, a city of 50,000 inhabitants that escape authority, a city which holds no law and no order, the ‘walled city’. Never before has a television crew been allowed to enter this labyrinth. Christa Wesemann, an Austrian documentary filmmaker, has achieved this for the first time. The recordings from the ‘walled city’ are breathtaking pictures, as it has never seen the world. The history and daily flow in Walled City are ruled by the ‘triad’, a Chinese crime syndicate

Mr. Salloum found a cache of deteriorating commercial film reels, trailers and commercials in an abandoned theater in Beirut in the 1980s. Many years later, inspired by the material as a historical marker of popular media culture during the era of the civil war and a document of western orientalism, Ms. Ahwesh edited some of the fragments together. Beirut Outtakes is a small tribute to endurance, the history of decay and an examination of the export of American product.
