This summer, a camp opens in a Yaroslavl village at an Orthodox community, where teenagers and families with special needs children live together for several weeks. Everyday life here includes prayers and services, chores and saunas, hikes and campfire songs. Teenagers take a break from their devices and learn to care for others, special needs children experience socializing outside the family, and their mothers are able to share the burden of care for the first time in their lives. Shared work and simple forms of happiness form a shared life, erasing the boundaries between "strong" and "weak," between those who help and those in need. All that remains is life: challenging, but full of love.
Laras, a curious girl who seeks the truth about her long-missing father face to face with her stepfather with different believes under Indonesia's social politics state

“Like Rain” and the three films which precede it chronologically, Couloirs, Our Sylvan Bleating, and The Distance in Sight constitute a project whose overarching impulse is to breach the idea that expansion, as it is traditionally understood, is necessary in a filmic space. I have referred to these films, to myself and to those I have discussed them with, as attempts at working within a "vertical cinema.” Vertical films do not build themselves—their montage, narrative schematics, color, compositions, individual lexicons—out of the pretext that they amalgamate into a larger superstructure, but that their semes—images, textual layers, characters, spaces—operate both within themselves as well as within the whole apparatus of the film.

Told in two semi-fictional acts, this 16mm film serves as an elegy for Europe’s last wallabies — a marsupial animal from Australia, introduced in Scotland in the 1940s. Reflecting on humanity’s enduring urge to record animals, from prehistoric cave art to early cinema, Alasdair Asmussen Doyle links the extinction of species with the evolution of image-making.
