At Isola Cinema, the workshop participants will deepen the knowledge gained at FeKK in Ljubljana and, via the internet, meet with their mentor Wim Vanacker and, in person, with Viviana Carlet and Carlo Miggoto, the directors of the Italian short film festival Lago Film Fest.
In the first open session, we will talk about experiences with VOD with our guest experts, representatives of the DAFilms.com and Svevid.net platforms and then focus on the presentations of ticket sales systems and systems for registering the audience.

In a style that is equally, if not much more bizarre and hilarious, the sequel to the miniseries Li’l Quinquin (P'tit Quinquin, 2014) depicts life in a French village and its unusual inhabitants. This time, the bumbling detective Van Der Weyden and his sidekick Carpentier investigate an unusual mass falling from the sky and causing (an even more unusual) cloning of the population.

The title question is relevant every day for teachers and children in rural schools of southern Rajasthan. In areas with many children from challenging backgrounds, how does one bring them to school and create an environment that motivates them to study?

In 2025, a year after a horrific terrorist attack on the Copenhagen metro, an ultranationalist politician is about to win the election in Denmark. This causes a wave of hate crimes against the Arab minority by the far-right organisation Sons of Denmark. This provocative and suspenseful political thriller is pervaded with the question: how to stay calm when society ever more clearly succumbs to hate and fear?

In the late 1980s, teenage street kid Qodrat turns his love for Bollywood films into a business by reselling cinema tickets on the streets of Kabul. When arrested, he is put into a Soviet-run orphanage. A brutally realistic and tenderly poetic coming-of-age story told through the eyes of an adolescent.
Marko Đorđević, Serbia, 2019, 94’
A belated coming-of-age tragicomedy about a 30-year-old who finally starts (tentatively, though no less persistently) stepping out from under his parents’ wings. A story of a generation whose parents desperately tried to shield them from the harsh realities of adulthood. Vast emotions tearing down the walls of tight spaces.

Children from a mountain village near Mosul re-enact a century of Iraqi history from the secret Sykes-Picot agreement in 1916 to the Islamic State's influence of terror in 2016. Using the simplest costumes and props, they evoke the story of history, revisiting their past to better understand their present.

The Sahrawi people have been forced to live in refugee camps in the middle of a stony desert ever since they were expelled from Western Sahara forty years ago. A group of friends are separated from the homeland they know only from their parents’ stories by a minefield and the second largest military wall in the world. Their vigorous will to live keeps clashing with the constricting physical and political limitations of reality.

“Brazil is already in some kind of post-apocalyptic state,” said the director when commenting on her film. In it, she portrays indigenous Amazonians as torn between their source of income – the city – and their source of strength: the rainforest.

From the perspective of stray dogs (and other animals) living in Moscow, the film offers striking insight into their lives today and throughout the history of space conquest, laying bare people’s deeply anthropocentric perception of animals, and of human progress, entertainment, and everyday life.
