Between 2015 and 2023, Leonard Alecu filmed the melting icebergs off Greenland's East coast. Sailing dangerously close to icebergs, Alecu handled his camera to record the ice masses yielding to the ruthless ocean. Filmed in black and white, Ice Breath is a cinematic poem whose only elusive actor is the filmmaker's gaze. In 43 minutes, a sequence of flat pictures turn into dynamic tableaux, an existential journey from genesis to extinction. The hypnotic feature of the film is enhanced by the soundtrack Become Ocean, a haunting composition by John Luther Adams suggestive of a relentless tidal surge, of melting polar ice and rising sea levels. Become Ocean received critical acclaim, earning the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Music and the 2015 Grammy for Best Classical Contemporary Composition. More than an environmental documentary, Ice Breath and Become Ocean is an experimental fusion exploring the vast, inscrutable meanings of climate change.

"Toni Kukoč - The Magical Seven" is about a young man from Split who, with his basketball knowledge, professionalism and unique style of play, won the basketball world in the late 1980s and 1990s. In those years, Toni Kukoč became Europe's most popular basketball player and was also officially voted the best player of the old continent four times. The journey from Split, from elementary school to winning an NBA ring and sharing the locker room with the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan, is a story about growing up, fellowship, and socializing with generations that only knew about winning during those years. He played and won Olympic medals for two countries, Yugoslavia and Croatia. Regardless of his incredible sports results, what sets Toni Kukoč apart is his behavior off the field, his modesty and his sincerity.

This film tells the story of Antoine, a miner from the Liège region who, at the end of the 19th century, discovers a gift for healing, an ability to listen and to soothe the suffering of the working class who endure a hard life. A good man, he went on to found the one and only Belgian religion that has never existed: Antoinism. This documentary film traces the astonishing life of Louis Antoine and the incredible development of a social and religious movement that has been forgotten in Belgian history. A movement that nevertheless had hundreds of thousands of followers in Wallonia, France and as far afield as Brazil, to the point of threatening the power of the Catholic Church in our regions.

Write a Poem for Naboisho

2024
Naboisho, which means “coming together” in the Maasai’s Maa language, is a community response to the challenges of the privatization of group ranches in the Greater Mara Region. Strain was put on the soil, endemic vegetation, and the wildlife because of intensive herding and various tourism activities such as camping and off-road vehicle activity. I use a field diary to record and track the daily tracks of wild animals and their survival status. In this way, I re-learn about the land, the animals, and the ecology. This film is dedicated to all those who work, build, and protect the conservation areas, and all the creatures that run on the land.

The Tano Bora, meaning ‘The Magnificent Five’ in Swahili, was the famed cheetah coalition here in the Masai Mara—captivating observers with their stealth, strategy, and striking beauty. The artist follows one of the cheetahs from the perspective of a follower, intuitively and visually connecting the traces of movement in the wilderness. The body image is used as a means of creation to extend the habitat of the animals beyond the frame. In this way, the cycle of "life and death" is explored, thus visually touching the traces of the fate of wild animals.

As Always Voting

2024
Workers climb snowy mountains and old ladies sell flowers on the street, the church bells ring and people hang out at a pagan festival, crazy activists near Kremlin "fight back" the hated America and an former Soviet party worker reflects on the truth and Pontius Pilate, a doctor is proud of his "profession without convictions" and teenagers film TikToks. Even the propaganda machine is more concerned about the upcoming 10th anniversary celebration of the Crimea "joining to Russia". It seems no one wants to really participate in the life of these elections, only the obedient uneven march of cadets to the polling places remains. The elections without voting. As always voting.
