Vkhodyashchaya v more / Entering the Sea. 1965. HD.

 This Short film is a thesis work by Leonid Osyka. He was publicly accused of "existentialism", "decadence", "borrowing from the "new wave". The director, despite the opinion of the leadership, did not back down from the film and refused to redo it. "Vkhodyashchaya v more" (Entering the sea) is a short poetic parable about the beginning of human life. A little girl played on the seashore, and it stretched before her as a free poetic element of being, and on the beach, next to her, there was an adult life, everyday life, prose...

Le film débute par la sortie de prison de Paul, condamné à quatre mois de prison à la place de son ami Julius. Afin de changer les idées de Paul, Julius décide de l'emmener à Saint-Tropez. Les deux jeunes hommes "empruntent" au passage une voiture et font sur le trajet la connaissance d'une charmante auto-stoppeuse, Évelyne, dont Julius ne tarde pas à tomber amoureux. Pour Paul, l'amour resurgit sous la forme de son ancienne compagne Milka, aux bras d'un marchand d'art quelque peu désagréable dénommé Saedi. C'est alors qu'on propose à Paul et à Julius de subtiliser deux statuettes pré-colombiennes appartenant à Saedi, qui s'avère en fait être un escroc. Mais le larcin ne se déroulera pas forcément comme prévu par nos deux compères.

Passion Despair. 2011.

 Steff Gruber's documentary film portrays the Swiss photographer Daniel Leuenberger, who lives in Moldova and specialises in photographing girls aged between 9 and 14.
Daniel has caused much controversy with the photos of his models which he sells via the Internet. Daniel's critics base their argument above all on the fact that the majority of his customers are pedophiles.
Daniel Leuenberger too finds himself marginalised and pushed to the edge. In the film he talks about how he deals with his feelings, about prejudice and about his work as a photographer of girls. The film raises questions of how images are used and their effects in a world increasingly dominated by the media.
In addition to Daniel's work as a portrait photographer, the film concentrates on the daily struggle for survival of Moldovan families and life in the officially non-existent neighbouring state of Transnistria. The small state, in which half a million people live, is hermetically sealed off from the outside world. Police and secret service are omnipresent; any opposition is nipped in the bud. The film shows how the mostly fatherless families in these two countries find ways to survive.
The film premiered at the Gdansk Dokfilm Festival 2011.
Director: Steff Gruber.
Cast: Romina Juravskaia, Daniel Leuenberger, Ana Nasushnaia, Katja Neugodnikova, Larisa Sirbu, Olga Stepnova, Luba Voitetcaia, Tamara Zaitseva.

Cap d'Agde, Naked City. 2000.

 Cap D'Agde is a popular summer resort town in France. A large section of the town is clothing-optional, and thousands of tourists flock there every year for the opportunity to spend their days naked--not only on the beach or in the pool, but in the shopping area also. (Curiously, although it isn't required, most of them put clothes on for evening activities.)
Our tour guides, Alison Brown and Wendy Cooper, are fetching blondes who enjoy showing off their beautiful all-over tans while they show off the town's attractions. They interview a number of visitors and locals to find out what they most enjoy about vacationing in the nude.
Whether you are a nudist or not, "Cap D'Agde: Naked City" is a fun way to spend an hour.
Cast: Alison Brown, Wendy Cooper, Charlie Simonds.

O ztracené lásce / Love Lost. 2002. Episodes 1-9.

 Devítidílný televizní seriál O ztracené lásce byl natočen podle stejnojmenné knihy a scénáře Evy Hudečkové. Říši krále Skrčka z Fištrónu postihne prokletí, jedno neštěstí stíhá druhé, lidská srdce se naplní bezohledností a krutostí, ztracen je i královský syn Pravoslav. To všechno způsobilo zpupné rozhodnutí krále vykázat ze země lásku jako nepotřebnou a bezvýznamnou věc. Naději pro budoucnost přináší venkovské děvčátko Honza. Přestože jí sudičky daly do vínku mnoho požehnaných vlastností, neuchrání ji od osudových ran a bolesti. Musí projít mnoha těžkými zkouškami, je stíhaná spíš zlem než dobrem, stává se terčem zášti a zloby. Honza se ale odmítá podřídit zlu a nenávisti, hledá ve svém srdci lásku jako jedinou možnou cestu k ostatním lidem. Snaží se zachránit osud milovaného prince Pravoslava i celé země, často se ocitá v nebezpečí smrti, když se obětuje pro jiné. Její strastiplnou pouť provázejí pohádkové bytosti, často stejně nevyzpytatelné jako lidé, s nimiž se na životní pouti potkává. Šťastný konec vše napraví, je však draze vykoupen a cesta k němu vede peklem.
