High in the mountains of Lesotho, Mosaku is anxiously awaiting the return of his older brother from an initiation ceremony. The initiates spend 5 months in a remote secrete location. What rituals are performed is known only to those who have taken part. But when the boys return, they are grown men. Initiation is a video work in which I take a scene of an existing film of mine, re-work it with unused footage and shift perspective to that of the younger brother, whereby it becomes an autonomous work. My voice and an old photograph of me as a white child growing up in Lesotho intervene as disturbing elements, simultaneously creating intimacy and distance. Contradictions, notions of identity and fantasy come to the surface.

At the height of the Peruvian gold rush, Nelida, an Andean woman able to communicate with water spirits, uses her powers to prevent a mining corporation from destroying the body of water she considers her mother. A gold deposit valued at billions of dollars lies just beneath Nelida’s lakes and leads farmers and Latin America’s biggest gold producer into conflict.

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
