But Martina is only the second case of a woman in the Czech Republic who has survived a brutal acid attack as an act of revenge by an ex-boyfriend. The documentary Is There Any Place For Me, Please? charts Martina’s steps from the moment the world as she knew it collapsed in an instant. Suddenly, no familiar patterns could be applied to the life she had lived until then, and Martina had to learn to live anew and differently, all while being blind. In very intimate accounts, supplemented by situations describing her admirable struggle, we follow Martina step by step from her lowest lows to her highest highs. The filmmakers chose the topic of physical beauty to be the main theme,exploring how irrelevant it becomes when one must discover and learn to rely on what lies hidden beneath the surface.
An authorial documentary film directed by Daniela Meressa Rusnoková brings a sensitive perspective on the little-discussed topic of premature births and saving highly immature infants born in the so-called “grey zone”. Through a testimony of a mother who represents the voice of many others, it raises fundamental questions of neonatology and depicts the journey of maternal care for children with special needs. What dilemmas and ethical issues must doctors and parents face? Where do we stand in supporting children with disabilities and their families and how can we improve?
In the years 1885 to 1963 the British ruled Kenya and inflicted a regime of violence that saw Kenyans kicked off their land and enslaved. As resistance grew in the 1950ʼs, the British threw about a million Kenyans into concentration camps, starving, torturing and killing thousands. In 1963, Kenya won its independence, but the majority of the population, including freedom fighters, did not see their land returned. They were left destitute – a situation that persists today. Now, people want justice. Not just for past colonial atrocities. They want to reclaim their history. And their land. One woman, Wanjugu Kimathi, is leading this fight. Our Land, Our Freedom tells her story.

Maria and Nik, together with their four children Ulv, Falk, Freja, and Ronja, embrace self-sufficiency, practicing homeschooling and striving for a closely knit family dynamic in harmony with nature. To sustain this type of lifestyle Maria works as a photographer, and her true passion lies in capturing intimate moments of her family’s life.

What makes a male, and what makes a female? Where do we draw the line, and does it really matter? – Sharon-Rose Khumalo, a South African beauty queen, plunges into an identity crisis after finding out she is intersex. In her quest to deal with gender dysphoria, she needs the guidance of somebody just like her. The only person who will help is Dimakatso Sebidi, a masculine presenting intersex activist who turns out to be her complete opposite. The two parallel but divergent stories offer an intimate look at the struggle of living in a male-female world, when you are born in-between. For the first time in a creative documentary, Who I Am Not gives a voice to the long ignored and mostly silent two percent of the world’s population: the intersex community.
