BOJA<\/span>

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Boja is living the last years of her life, working hard on the family farm located among the war-scarred ruins of Mo\u010dioci, a ghost village in the mountains above the city of Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina).

\nCHEMKIDS<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a9 Philipp Schaeffer<\/em><\/p>\n

Chemnitz used to be an East German industrial metropolis and for the young people the path to adulthood was usually well defined – they obtained their training and sometimes remained in the same company for decades. These certainties no longer exist. Nowadays, the young generation in their early twenties has big dreams and all the possibilities, at least in theory – but they also have parents who experienced the exact opposite back in their twenties. So it\u2019s very easy for both generations to feel misunderstood. Chemnitz is no longer the industrial metropolis it once was, but this is also nothing new\u2026 Chemnitz is something in-between and if it realized this fact, the young generation could be its future.<\/p>\n

\nCHURCHILL, POLAR BEAR TOWN<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Every year in northern Canada, polar bears migrate to Hudson Bay to hunt seals. From October to November, while waiting for the pack ice to form, they take up residence on the outskirts of the town of Churchill \u2013 with a population of 800. Hunted since the old days and now safari stars, the bears have become a tourist attraction and therefore a considerable source of income for Churchill. The small town is a unique illustration of the complex links between our modern world and the so-called \u2018wild\u2019 or natural one.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A Hindu teen and his friends tread the bizarre world of a \u2018cow protection\u2019 vigilante group to end cow slaughter, exploring what it means to be a saviour of the holy cow in modern day India.

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Two women sustain a world where care is in ruins. Gladys, from her everlasting confinement in the house where she works as a live-in servant. Ima, in her everlasting waiting on the seashore for the next ship breaking its nets. Both have unrecognised jobs in which duties invade them until there\u2019s no room for their own lives. It doesn\u2019t matter what time their phones ring. Gladys can never answer, Ima is obliged to answer at all times. They both have to leave their families behind. Spaces that are work, work that is about houses and houses that are not always homes. The memories of their experiences are intertwined in a sensory story that leads us to a question: whose hands are the ones to change the situation?<\/p>\n
