Rhodri, our protagonist, goes about his farming duties at dawn. Later that morning, he waves his wife and child off in the car as they head out for the day.
Shortly afterwards, as Rhodri is out driving his tractor in a nearby field, he spots a car approaching. The car parks up opposite the farmhouse and a man gets out and walks across the field towards Rhodri. As he approaches the tractor we see that the man is bruised and bloodied. This is Rhys, Rhodri's younger brother.
Rhys demands to borrow a shotgun, and he and Rhodri get into an argument. During the course of their argument we learn that Rhys was beaten up that morning by a man called Gavin Huntley, to whom he owes a significant amount of money. Rhys reveals that, having not been able to extract the debt from him, Gavin has threatened to come seeking payment up at the farm. Just then, Rhodri notices a white pickup truck speeding towards the farm in the distance. Realising the danger, he grabs his brother and marches him to a nearby barn, where the shotgun cabinet is located.
Once inside the barn, Rhodri gives Rhys an opportunity to take the shotgun, but Rhys bottles it, leaving Rhodri to sort out his brother's mess out on his own. He grabs the shotgun and heads towards the farmhouse.
Gavin pulls up in front of the farmhouse. Rhodri threatens Gavin with the shotgun, who appears unperturbed. During the course of their stand-off, we learn that Rhys has been lying to his brother : he told Gavin that he owned half the farm, presumably to get out of a further beating, when in fact the farm was left entirely to Rhodri by the father, on account of Rhys being untrustworthy. Gavin is there to claim his stake in the farm by way of payment for Rhys' debt.
Deciding that Rhodri doesn't pose any kind of serious threat, Gavin gets out of the car and walks towards him, demanding he put down the shotgun. Feeling that his farm, his wife and his child are in serious danger, and with a rush of blood to the head under intense pressure, Rhodri pulls the trigger, killing Gavin instantly.
Rhys reappears from where he's been hiding and tries to take control of the situation, barking orders at his brother. Overwhelmed with emotion, Rhodri's horror at what he's done morphs into fury with his brother, whose actions have brought so much chaos to his doorstep once again. Rhodri raises the shotgun to his brother's head; Rhys is facing the other way and is unaware.

This account summarizes what I experienced between spring and summer of that special year when all human and material activities came to a standstill. I had retreated to my highland forest lodging away from the city, and while I was pent up there avoiding human contact, I chanced upon evidence of mysterious creatures in my yard. So I set up a surveillance camera, which to my surprise captured images of miniature humanlike beings about 15 centimeters tall. I named them “pukkulapottas” and followed their activities daily with my camera, but as spring turned to summer and people began moving about again, I lost my ability to see them. This experience has prompted me to ask the question whether all the truths in this world are confined to what our eyes can see.

Shakespeare's works are timeless - this film proves it!
Awarded with the Seal of Approval"Highly Recommended"
the highest distinction of the FBW, the German federal authority for evaluating and rating film and media.
"How can you give the target and age group "smartphone" an overview of the work of this unique literary genius without getting bogged down in long-winded lectures on verse and drama theory? The filmmaker and artist Hannes Rall has turned this consideration into a very short and yet for that very reason so great animated film. (...) He succeeds in depicting the poet's most famous plays in an immediately recognisable way with individual images that flow dynamically into one another. A smart, entertaining and coherent Shakespeare homage in about 3 minutes."

Who was Tilly Losch? Dancer, artist, choreographer, lover, wife, muse … Tilly seems a blur, glimpsed at the corner of the eye, dancing in and out of focus.
Because Goddess is Never Enough explores the elusive and fragmentary nature of Tilly’s life and evokes the spirit of the 1920s–40s when she was at the peak of her fame.
Tilly Losch was an Austrian dancer who worked with prominent, and cutting-edge, choreographers and artists in the UK and the US, from the West End to Hollywood. She was also a choreographer in her own right, who later turned to painting.
The film is about self-worth, the authentic self, and the credibility of creative women – Losch was someone who was at times exploited yet determined to maintain a path of her own making despite the obstacles that were very much present in her era. The parallels of Losch and the way women are still portrayed in the in the 21st century through the lens of the media and by society forms a powerful and thought-provoking statement about female identity. It highlights how far women have come in 90 years, and yet how far they still have to go to get recognition and true independence.
‘Because Goddess is never enough’ asks questions about biographies of women (and their complex lives!) who fall into the footnotes, lost from history as so many women’s stories are, seen only through a patriarchal lens, illuminating and reclaiming women’s stories.

Brief: The father of an ISIS terrorist responsible for the 2015 Paris Attacks searches for his grand-daughter, Alaa (5y) believed to be in a refugee camp in Northern Syria. Desperate to save his granddaughter, the way he was unable to save his son, the film explores themes of guilt and innocence, identity and belonging, as we meet the ‘other victims of ISIS’ – the families torn apart in its wake, trying to atone for crimes they never committed.
Synopsis:
Azdyne Amimour, a modest Parisian husband, father and grandfather. After a long and varied working life, at 74 he should be contemplating a peaceful retirement. But his days are fuelled by one overriding goal to find his missing granddaughter and make reparations for his son’s crimes.
On 13th November 2015, Islamic State launched a series of coordinated attacks on the Bataclan Hall and other Paris venues, killing 130 people. Azdyne’s son, Samy Amimour, was one of the three Bataclan attackers; as police approached and fired at him, his suicide belt exploded. Samy left behind a daughter, Alaa, born in Syria just days after the terrible events. And now Azdyne feels he can’t move on with life until he finds her. He feels responsible for her fate, as an innocent child, caught up in the trail of harm caused by Samy’s actions.
As his life and family unravelled in the wake of the attacks, Azdyne struggled to deal with guilt and shame, and with understanding the path that led his “quiet and thoughtful” son to perpetrating France’s worst terrorist attack in modern history. In the face of public disgust and fear, he actively sought ways to contribute to the national attempt to understand the tragedy, and to heal society and himself. In the years since 2015, one objective has sustained him – a vow to find the granddaughter he has never met and bring her home.
We meet Azdyne in 2019 as he takes initial legal steps towards finding Alaa. Recounting the events of that night in November 2015, it is clear that the guilt and pain live with him and with Sami’s mother, Mouna, still. We see a fruit that has grown from the despair of the attacks, the deepening friendship with George Salines, whose daughter Lola was killed in the Bataclan. Together, the two engage with ex-prisoners to help counter Islamic State propaganda, and are instrumental in a group which brings together the families of victims and families of perpetrators of terrorism, equally determined, and united, in not wanting to allow terrorism to further divide France. Over the course of several years, Azdyne learns piecemeal information about Alaa, her whereabouts and wellbeing, which fuel his desire to head to Syria to help her. But the path to Syria is perilous and blocked at many turns. Suddenly, in July 2022, the bittersweet news breaks: Alaa has been repatriated to France. She is safe, but Azdyne will still, for an indeterminate length of time, be unable to finally meet her.
Finding Alaa is the story of one man’s search for his granddaughter – and the story of loss, guilt, of the shattering effects of terrorism on families and society and the search for reconciliation by those left behind.This is the story of the other victims of Isis - those whose stories we have yet to hear.
