One of the most memorable films I have seen this past year was the haunting and lyrical film WHITE AS SNOW (Turkey, 2010) by director Selim Gunes and producer Nur Gunes. This is an unforgettable experiment in storytelling, disrupting our linear-prone conception of time in order to think in fragments. The mind doesn’t look back in time sequentially so why should a film that is retrospective? In this film about a poor young boy, Hasan, from the 1970’s, the viewer is forced to struggle through...

even to Hodorovski. It is a film essay on war and survival; a film with
no dialogue, but not a silent movi...

Director: MILTOS POULOS.
“The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways. The point is to change it.” It is about Marx’s 11th point on Feuerbach as well as it defines the main sentence in a personal-poetic storyboard with sounds, music and pictures. Pictures that claim memories of the past. Pictures haunting the present, piercing and conjuring it. Pictures that could make the opening to the main Game of a millennium which has already started to dawn, the third one, one which looks like it has more things on its head.
