Handmade. by Catlow, Nikalas,film director.; Java Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Java Films in 2023.HANDMADE tells the inspiring story of Nukufilm, the oldest surviving stop-motion animation studio in the world, founded in 1957. During the Soviet era, Nukufilm was both financed and censored by the USSR government. In the 1980s, a new generation of animators took over. They had a more adventurous approach to stop-motion animation and were given the freedom to experiment with any style they wanted. Despite strict censorship regulations, they were able to conceal messages and layers in their animations without being detected. When Estonia regained independence in 1991, Nukufilm lost its distribution through Moscow, and the studio struggled to survive in a global market. However, they managed to learn the new market and become businessmen, surviving in the new free market economy. This debut film offers a glimpse into stop-motion animation production today, as well as rare archive material from stop-motion animation history, and is an ode to the perseverance and creativity of the Nukufilm studio.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

The Forbidden Call. by Mandy, Marie,film director.; Java Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Java Films in 2024.Since their clandestine ordinations on a boat on the Danube in 2002, Catholic women priests have been challenging the Vatican to denounce its misogyny. For the first time, women priests have succeeded in obtaining a dialogue with the Vatican, prompting cardinals and the Pope to take a stand on the forbidden subject of women's ordination.We follow three committed women in their quest to change doctrine. Jacqueline Straub, a Swiss theologian who feels a real vocation to be a priest, has been writing relentlessly to successive popes for fifteen years, pleading for gender equality in the Church and for permission to be ordained. Christina Moreira, a French-Spanish rebel, was ordained in catacomb, following in the footsteps of the Danube “clandestine ordinations” which, since 2002, have seen the emergence of over 300 women priests worldwide. Despite being excommunicated, she continues to exercise her priesthood in her Spanish community. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Myra Brown, an African-American priest, heads a parish of 1,500 faithful, defying prohibitions with unshakeable faith. Together, these women propose an investigation into the heart of the Vatican, the last bastion of institutional misogyny, defying centuries of tradition, revisiting sacred texts and dismantling the theological, political and cultural arguments behind this unjust ban. For them, the issue of female ordination is the first step towards wider change within the Church: opening priests up to marriage, combating gender discrimination and accepting homosexual unions.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

The Social Trap. by Jadot, Elisa,film director.; Java Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Java Films in 2024.Adolescents who are connected to their smartphone for more than five hours a day are 66% more likely to suffer suicidal symptoms than those who use it for one hour a day. 44 US states are currently suing Meta, blaming it for the malaise of an entire generation. Faced with powerful tech giants like Meta, Tiktok, Snapchat, X and Discord, how can we protect children and their childhood?For the first time in history, state legislators and parents in the US and Europe are joining forces to fight these digital giants. Among them are five women who have chosen to turn their daily lives upside down to fight back against the Big 5: Alexis, Elisabet, Sofia, Laure and Socheata.They are victims, mothers, doctors and lawyers. They’re all behind a movement to change the destiny of future generations. Alexis, a victim of screen addiction, was among the first to take Meta to court, accusing it of “inciting suicide.” Elisabet is a mother of three. In just a few days, over 10,000 parents joined her WhatsApp group to fight for a "phone-free youth." As a result, the state has banned smartphones in schools. Sofia is a psychiatrist and pioneer in the treatment of screen addiction in children, some as young as seven. Socheata has been involved in the fight ever since her son was manipulated by an internet predator. She has joined an organisation that works alongside cybercrime police officers to track down paedophiles. Laure is a lawyer determined to change the laws that protect the Big 5.Through the struggles of these women, we will discover that digital control is a major public health and safety issue that goes well beyond what we imagine.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
