Synopsis :
A short handcrafted 16mm documentary about the fights against one of Colombia’s biggest open-sky goldmine projects.
A black and white ballad through Tolima’s green mountains, in Colombian Andes, talking to Cajamarca’s valley inhabitants. On the surface, green fertile lands and peaceful agriculture. But hidden under the ground, invisible fields of gold coveted by a multinational company could reshape this whole world.
Sometimes with just their voices, sometimes accepting to show their faces, Cajamarca’s workers depict different aspects of their lives and the threat of the open-sky goldmine project they face, while their images slightly tend to disappear.

Synopsis :
In 2000, the United Nations published the so-called Millennium Goals. They should give member states a direction for the new millennium and cover a wide range of political issues: from social inequality, health and education to economic growth and climate change. Today they are called Sustainable Goals to be achieved by 2030, but their content has not changed. The 16th Goal concerns the respect of the rule of law through accountable institutions at all levels and the fight against corruption – one of the main responsibilities of Transparency International.
At the beginning of July 2019, at the Sustainable Goals Summit in New York, Transparency International gave a presentation on the subject for which purpose this film was produced.

VAKA is a short documentary about the energy and resilience of the Tokelauan people as they weave their customary-wisdom regarding the environment with modern eco-technologies to respond to climate change. Tokelau was the first nation to aim for 100% of its electricity to be generated from solar as a result of the New Zealand funded Tokelau Renewable Energy Project in 2012. Their coral island atolls contribute a minimal amount of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet they are the first to be impacted by climate change. Tokelau’s resilience in their daily response to the climate crisis exemplifies how they are leading by example.
