A love story. A neighbourhood under pressure. A camera turned on because there was no time to wait.
For director Arianna Proietti Mancini, filming began as an urgent response to what was happening in Rome’s Quarticciolo, where years of collective work suddenly felt under threat. But as the story unfolded, another dimension became impossible to ignore: the love at the heart of that struggle.

Behind the strength, the discipline and the joy, there is a deeper question: what changes when a woman learns that she can protect herself — physically and mentally?
For director Maria Kaur Bedi, martial arts are more than sport: they are confidence, self-defense, freedom — and a way for women to reclaim space in a world that can still be dangerous.

When devastating floods struck Europe in 2021, communities were forced to confront the growing consequences of an increasingly unstable climate.

Through the perspective of Anna, a lifelong resident of the Austrian town of Hallein, "Out of Nowhere" moves from the memory of those events towards a broader reflection on the role forests, wetlands, and floodplains can play in protecting our future.

An immersive journey that explores our relationship with nature, revealing how reconnecting with natural ecosystems can become a powerful form of resilience against climate change.

In the middle of a vast desert landscape, a young girl struggles with depression and anxiety, facing emotions that can be difficult for those around her to understand.

Inspired by director Naima Karim's personal experience alongside her daughter, "Mirage" places viewers directly beside the protagonist, asking them to support her through moments of vulnerability and uncertainty.

An interactive experience about mental health, connection and the difficult realization that accepting help can sometimes be one of the hardest steps to take.

In Berlin, a simple packet of saffron transports Golnaz, a young Iranian refugee, back to the home and family she lost.

As she cooks, the familiar scent brings back the traumatic memory of the shipwreck in which her family died three years earlier during a dangerous sea crossing. "Less Than 5gr of Saffron" transforms this intimate moment into a deeply sensory experience.

A moving exploration of memory, migration and trauma that brings viewers closer to the emotional reality of displacement, dissolving the distance between witnessing a memory and living through it.
