Changing the Things One Cannot AcceptOriginal title: Todo documento de civilización
Argentina, 90 minutes, 2024, experimental documentary
Director: Tatiana Mazú González
Trailer
A crossroads of avenues that is, at the same time, the border between the city of Buenos Aires and its suburbs. Every night, thousands of people cross it on their way home from work. Buses, traffic lights, asphalt, concrete, a rusty sign. Someone going to school, someone selling bread. Street lights and electoral propaganda. Cell phone and hamburger advertising. Garbage and a lady selling flowers. The story of a mother who lost her son in the hands of the police confronts the image of normality. Her struggle and her voice draw the imaginary worlds of Jules Verne, which they fantasized about together. This film is a process of excavation. Or the dissection of the landscape where, fifteen years ago, the State disappeared Luciano Arruga.

Tatiana Mazú González
Buenos Aires, 1989. She lives on the outskirts of the city among cats and plants. She’s a documentary-experimental filmmaker and teacher who works with image and sound in a broad sense.
A feminist and leftist activist, who once wanted to be a biologist or a geographer: today her imaginary explores the links between people and spaces, the microscopic and the immense, the personal and the political, the infantile and the obscure. She films, photographs, draws, designs, and sews.
She’s part of the collective Antes Muerto Cine and R.A.T.A – Anarchist Audiovisual Workers’ Network.
Her films El estado de las cosas (2012, together with Joaquín Maito), La Internacional (2015), Caperucita roja (2019), Río Turbio (Prix Georges de Beauregard FID Marseille 2020) and Todo Documento de Civilización (Prix Georges de Beauregard FID Marseille 2024) have been screened and awarded at Festival Internacional de Cine de Mar del Plata, FICValdivia, FICUNAM, DocLisboa, Festifreak, Cinélatino.

The Repressed
Ukraine, 26 minutes, 2025, documentary essay
Directors: Maryna Ya, Kostiantyn Maleonyuk
For homeless people, urban space becomes a place to live. They live in parks, squares, manholes, and abandoned buildings. The city becomes a home. A bench becomes a bed, a dumpster a source of food, and fountains a shower. “The Repressed” is a compilation of stories from homeless people in Odesa about their dreams, fears, hopes, and anxieties.
