- My Imaginary Country. by Guzmán, Patricio,film director.; Icarus Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Icarus Films in 2022.One day, without warning, a revolution exploded. It was the event that master documentarian Patricio Guzmán had been waiting for all his life: a million and a half people in the streets of Santiago, Chile, demanding justice, education, health care, and a new constitution to replace the strident rules imposed on the country during the Pinochet military dictatorship. Urgent and inspired, MY IMAGINARY COUNTRY features harrowing front-line protest footage and interviews with dynamic activist leaders and powerfully connects Chile's complex, bloody history to contemporary revolutionary social movements and the election of a new president.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Political science.; Social sciences.; History, Modern.; Latin America.; Foreign study.; Sociology.; Documentary films.; Current affairs.; History.;

- Lyd. by Younis, Rami,film director.; Ema Friedland, Sarah,film director.; Icarus Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Icarus Films in 2024.LYD (the Arabic name of Lod, a city now in Israel) is about a 5,000-year-old bustling Palestinian town that was taken over when Israel was established in 1948. An exploration of what it once was, and what it is now, in the context of the continuing conflicts and the war in Gaza, LYD’s excavation of one community’s complex history offers us not only lessons, but possible futures.As the film unfolds, a chorus of characters creates a tapestry of the Palestinian experience of this city and the trauma left by the massacre and expulsion, while vivid animations envision an alternate reality where the same characters live free from the trauma of the past and the violence of the present. Using never-before-seen archival footage of the Israeli soldiers who carried out the massacre and expulsion, the personified city explains that these events were so devastating that they fractured reality, and now there are two Lyds — one occupied and one free. As the film cuts between fantastical and documentary realities, it ultimately leaves the viewer questioning what future should prevail.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Social sciences.; History, Modern.; Human rights.; Foreign study.; Documentary films.; Middle East.; Current affairs.; History.; War.; Israel.; Palestine.; Psychic trauma.;
