A sűrű gyászon áttörő humánum: az emlékezés és a szeretet. - DirectorPamela YatesIn a startling loop of time and memory, Granito shows how a filmmaker's first documentary has been instrumental to indict Guatemalan ex-dictator RÃos Montt. In January 2012, after 30 years of legal impunity, RÃos Montt was indicted by a Guatemalan court for crimes against humanity. He was charged with committing genocide against the Mayan people in the 1980s, becoming the first former head of state to be tried in his own country for genocide. Back in 1982, a young first time filmmaker, Pamela Yates, gained unprecedented access to RÃos Montt, his generals and leftist guerrillas waging a clandestine war deep in the mountains. The resulting film, When the Mountains Tremble (1983) revealed that the Guatemalan army was killing Mayan civilians. When the Mountains Tremble became central to her life again 30 years later when a Spanish lawyer investigating the RÃos Montt regime asked for her help. Granito spans 30 years and portrays seven protagonists in Guatemala, Spain and the United States as they attempt to bring justice to violence-plagued Guatemala. Among the twists of fate. A 22-year-old Mayan woman, Rigoberta Menchú, the storyteller in When the Mountains Tremble, goes on to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1992 and then initiates the court case against General RÃos Montt that eventually leads to the use of Yates' footage as evidence. A guerrilla commander, Gustavo Meoño, who authorized Yates' filming with the insurgents in 1982, becomes a key player in uncovering the mechanisms of disappearances and state terror. Granito is about the remarkable impact of a film on a nation's fight for justice, dramatically entered as evidence to bring a dictator to justice and give Mayan people their day in court. It is an inside, as-it-happens account of the way a new generation of human rights activists operates in a globalized world. Granito shows how each individual's effort becomes a tiny grain of sand, a Granito to tip the scales of justice.Granito: How to Nail a Dictator: What is the role of a documentary filmmaker in the events she chronicles? A 1982 documentary film When the Mountains Tremble becomes forensic evidence to help prove a genocide case against a military dictator.
Granito: Hogyan fogjunk diktátort: Mi a szerepe a filmesnek az általa dokumentált eseményekben? Egy 1982-es doku, a When the Mountains Tremble törvényszéki bizonyítékként szolgál egy népirtással vádolt katonai diktátor ellen. - DirectorKaspars GobaStarsPeter TatchellIn the summer of 2005, two guys came up with the idea to organize an unprecedented event - a festive lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people's parade through the streets of Riga, the capital of Latvia. Following the example of similar LGBT parades in Western cities, they decided to call it 'Pride'. Little did they know that their good intent would spiral into a chain of inconceivable events lasting several years. The great emotion stirred up would dramatically divide Latvian Society; the persons involved would be showered, in turn, with human excrement and holy water. Families would be torn apart, jobs lost, and a pastor expelled from the church for free thinking. They could not have imagined that crowds of Western 'reinforcements' would flock to support both sides or that Jesus, the Devil, patriotism and human rights would all be used in the rhetoric surrounding the topic, and that the media would eagerly report it all. In the end, could it be that the victims of this hostility were all those involved, because for someone, somewhere it was beneficial to set us against one another? Kaspars Goba worked on this film for five years. The extensive footage collected over the years enables the spectator to get an extraordinarily deep insight into the opinions and life stories of the individuals on both the Pride and NoPride fronts. The astonishing unearthing of Pride in Riga as shown in Kaspars Goba's work, from its inception in 2005 through to the announcement that Pride would not be held in Riga in 2010, enables the viewer to consider these events from a different perspective. One can contemplate the role politicians play in manipulating people's ideals, and also ask: what is the price of democracy in Latvia?homo@lv: To Pride or not to Pride? A look at the years of battle between ‘Pride’ and ‘NoPride’ supporters in Riga, and the way political manipulation has shaped the debate.
homo@lv: Vonuljanak, vagy ne? A Pride Parade támogatói és ellenzői sok-sok éve ádáz küzdelmet vívnak Rigában, gyaníthatóan némi politika manipulációnak is köszönhetően. - DirectorArnaud GaillardFlorent VassaultThe death penalty still holds sway in the United States.

Arriving in Israel from Moldova in the 1990's left Sophia unstable and yearning for more. Her well educated parents are unable to control their only daughter as she rapidly descends from singer in a rock-band to drug addict and to prostitute. Sophia is strong and weak, vulnerable and impervious. Her wrenching journey into darkness is strikingly documented by filmmaker Ohad Itach whose chance meeting with Sophia leads not only to a powerful film, but to the possibility of moving forward.Loving Sophia: From promising singer in a rock-band to drug addict and prostitute: how long is the road back?

A Maelstrom: Családi összejövetelek, születésnapok, kirándulások, esküvők egy gazdag családi filmarchívumban. Egy holland zsidó család a holokauszt árnyékában. - DirectorGemma AtwalGemma Atwal's dynamic epic follows four-year-old Budhia, rescued from poverty by Biranchi Das, a larger-than-life judo coach and operator of an orphanage for slum children in the eastern Indian state of Orissa. When Budhia displays an uncommon talent for long-distance running, Biranchi nurtures his gift, heralding him as a folk hero for the impoverished masses, and maybe even for India itself. But after golden child Budhia breaks down during a world-record 65 kilometer run at the age of four, public opinion begins to turn on the guru and his disciple, and soon the two are swept up in a maelstrom of media controversy and political scandal. Following Budhia's roller-coaster journey over five years, Marathon Boy is a Dickensian tale of greed, corruption, and broken dreams set between the heart-racing world of marathon running, the poverty-stricken slums, and the political intrigue of a modernizing India. Nothing is what it seems in Budhia and Biranchi's story, and Atwal continually shifts viewer identification to tell both a shocking story of opportunism and exploitation, but also a touching portrait of an authentic bond between a parent and child.Marathon Boy: A four-year-old boy is plucked from the slums of India to become the country’s greatest runner. A tale of greed, aspiration, and broken dreams.
