Ah, Liberty!

A celebratory portrait of a family’s place in the wilderness ‚ living, working, playing on a farm throughout the seasons; animals and children, junk and nature, all within the most sublime landscape.

There’s no particular story; beginning, middle or end, just fragments.

A Dog’s Life

Bucharest certainly is a city full of dogs. Here, man and dog are two species intimately mingled into one another like the damned souls of Dante’s inferno. Here, the human-eyed dog daily confronts the dog-eyed human. Our city has a population of over 200,000 dogs. There are rich and poor dogs, dogs of the street and dogs that go to the hairdresser. This film documents the life of this parallel society, a mirror of the human society in Bucharest.

Whores' Glory

Três locais diferentes de prostituição: Tailândia, Bangladesh e México. A primeira parte passa-se num bordel-aquário onde as prostitutas estão sentadas atrás de um vidro iluminado, como modelos prontas para uma passerele, à espera que os clientes as escolham. A prostituição na Tailândia é uma rotina diária, um serviço ao cliente, uma empresa de entretenimento que contrasta com as duas outras cidades. Em Bangladesh, as mulheres vêem o seu trabalho como um serviço social: se não prestassem os seus serviços, os homens estariam a violar mulheres nas ruas. Elas sacrificam a sua dignidade todos os dias por dinheiro. No México, vemos a profissão ser literalmente glorificada, enquanto Glawogger filma uma prostituta a trabalhar. Imagens maravilhosas e excepcionalmente editadas, acompanhadas pelos sons de PJ Harvey e Cocorosie, constituem uma tela voyeurista da profissão mais antiga. (Nina Veligradi) Three different locations of prostitution: Thailand, Bangladesh and Mexico. The first part is set in a fish tank brothel, where the prostitutes are sitting behind a lit glass like models ready for a runway, where customers chose. Prostitution in Thaland is an everyday routine, a customer service, an entertainment business in contrast with the two other cities. In Bangladesh, women are approaching their job as a social service. If they didn’t perform their services men would be raping women on the streets. They sacrifice their sence of shame everyday for money. In México, we are getting literally the glory of the profession, where Glawogger is filming a prostitute at her service. Worderful images exceptionally edited accompanied by the sounds of PJ Harvey and Cocorosie constitute a voyeuristic camvas on the oldest profession. (Nina Veligradi)
