Lysistrata: Attack from Acropolis, Fjorida Cenaj, Poland, 2020

The film Lysistrata: Attack from Acropolis, is a comedy/drama, that takes place in Athens in the 5th century B.C. , during the Peloponnesian War. It is based on Aristophanes’ comedic play Lysistrata. Fed up with the long war between Athens and Sparta, the women of ancient Greece, led by Lysistrata, decide to go on a sex strike and lock themselves up in the Acropolis. With a mixture of ancient and modern elements, a fusion of Greek and Polish culture, it was created in the style of the cult genre and gives a experimental feeling. This film was originally adapted for the stage and work began to create a performance with a group of local seniors from the University of the Third Age. A team of European Solidarity Corps volunteers (living and working with the socially engaged art association: Teatr Brama) selected this piece to work with this group to embrace female sexuality, body positivity and to combat age related stereotypes.

Let us dream not of death,
but take joy in life’s richness.

Summer Daydream 2020, Lisa Kimura, 1:29, Japan, 2020

“As a filmmaker, I was interested in the fact that people have different memories and images of music. This is my first attempt at creating a music piece.
I wanted to express "remembrance" in a way other than flashbacks, through visual effects.I hadn't had many experiences of enthusiastically discussing a film with my friends. Maybe it was because I was afraid that I could see the difference between myself and the other person, for example, if they didn't like something I thought was good, or if they liked something I didn't like.
For that reason, I would often say, "That was interesting," even if it was something I didn't like.In the meantime, I thought it would be interesting to watch an image and talk about old memories and get to know each other, rather than just like or dislike it. I began to wonder.This is the film I shot with that question in mind.”
