Recreate

The pace of global consumption is accelerating in an economic model marked by cut corners and short- sighted greed. RE-CREATE is about pumping the brakes on this runaway train, rethinking the way we produce, consume and discard. We turn a lens on the destruction wrought across the globe by unfettered commerce, giving viewers a boots-on-the ground view of manmade blight that's apocalyptic in scope. These include a yawning coal mining pit so large it has displaced an entire German town and a makeshift landfill in Chile's Atacama Desert choked by a mountain of clothes so large it can be seen from space. We'll also zoom in on local heroes, including entrepreneurs reclaiming the landscape and forging a circular economy by turning trash into treasure. Their voices, and those of people calling for justice for the natives of ruined land, are small on an individual level. Together, however, they sound a clarion call. The message? Business as usual is no longer an option. If we wish to preserve the environment, we must find a way to tread lightly on the earth, even amid the bustle of modern commerce.

Love Exposed

The family of “TASCHEN photographer” Vlastimil Kula is living proof that modern society needs to address the transgenerational transmission of trauma. Modern psychology might classify Vlastimil’s father as a disconnected man, he was unable to instill in Vlastimil a sense of security and confidence. As a result, Vlastimil often failed as a father, husband, and partner.

His daughter, professional film editor, Blanka might as well have continued the transmission of trauma to her children. But she decided to take a different path. She has been successfully undergoing therapy for years.

In addition, she decided to make a film about her relationship with father, becoming the narrator and guide on her own therapeutic and film journey. Now, Blanka is returning with a professional film crew and is ready to confront her father about his absence during her childhood, adolescence, and adult life. Both protagonists thus enter a special meditative state similar to family therapy. In their meetings, both return to their childhoods and examine life from surprising perspectives.

The narration follows Blanka as she visits her father over the years 2020 - 2024. She goes trough dramatical ups and downs realising it’s always better to address deep problems rather than to push them aside, causing emotional injury to yourself or to transfer the trauma to next generation.
