In the summer of 1977, NASA sent Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 on an epic journey into interstellar space. Each spacecraft carries a golden record album, a massive compilation of images and sounds embodying the best of Planet Earth. According to Carl Sagan, “[t]he spacecraft will be encountered and the record played only if there are advanced space-faring civilizations in interstellar space. But the launching of this bottle into the cosmic ocean says something very hopeful about life on this planet.” While working on the golden record, Sagan met and fell madly in love with his future wife Annie Druyan. The golden record became their love letter to humankind and to each other. In the summer of 2010, I began my own hopeful voyage into the unknown. This film is a love letter to my fellow traveler.

Tables screwed to the floor. One hour that must suffice for two weeks, sometimes even a month: the visiting room of a Polish jail. On one side: husbands, sons, fathers; on the opposite: children, wives, mothers. The film depicts the world of a mother who comes to visit her son: her devotion, her solitude, and her constant waiting.

Le réalisateur Marc Isaacs a passé 6 mois sur le parvis du tribunal de Highbury à Londres, pour poser un regard sur la vie intime de ceux qui traversent le système judiciaire. Sur le trottoir, en dehors du tribunal, il parle avec des braqueurs, des voleurs récidivistes, des drogués, leurs proches anxieux, tous dans l'attente d'un jugement. En attendant que leur sort soit décidé, ils révèlent leurs histoires.

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.
