The North Korean-made buildings and monuments in African countries are public buildings and monuments related to the history of their respective countries. However, they are the only places for South Koreans to see North Korean large-scale monuments in reality, since South Koreans are not allowed to visit the North due to division of the two Koreas. The monuments and buildings in African countries actually display more of North Korean socialist realism than African qualities.

Scenes of Between

A father told an anecdote to his son. The story is a kind of absurd folktale that is hard to believe as historical fact. The documentary is about the narrative based on “facts” that have been passed on orally.

How to Disappear Completely

A young girl from the countryside dreams of disappearing. She plays a lonely game of hide-and-seek while her mother quotes the Bible and her father relishes in alcohol. She decides to put on a stage play based on an old Philippine film about a family who disappears in the mountain during the war.

Nina Fischer & Maroan el Sani

The screening triggered an identification-process of the fugitives with the protagonist of Kurosawa’s movie, as they recognized their similar desperate situation. It was followed by an experimental setup of cinematic improvisations with refugees and actors, focusing on the exploration of fears and uncertainties surrounding the nuclear catastrophe and ongoing threat of radiation.

The Act of Killing

Cinema has traditionally been dominated by films about good versus evil, the good fighting against the bad. However, the good and the bad only exist in stories. In reality, every evil act in history has been committed by human beings like ourselves.
