One hundred years ago, the Herero people of Namibia were nearly exterminated by German colonial soldiers in what has become known as the first genocide of the 20th century. Herero men, women and children were rounded up like cattle and put into Germany's first ever concentration camps. Four years later, three-quarters of the entire Herero nation had perished at the hands of German colonialists. The Nazis used the experiences from the German concentration camps in Namibia as well as their experiments in "racial science" when they formulated the Final Solution during World War II a few decades later. Today the Hereros claim billions of euros from the German government in repatriation for the genocide. The experience of one family is described by a descendant, a 23-year-old Herero woman named Georgina. She has a fair complexion and a green tinge to her eyes. Georgina is aware of the fact that her great-grandmother was raped by a German soldier and now wants to confront the demons of her own genetic past. High School College Adult

The film's title, 216 Beach Walk, Waikiki (2018, 30mins), refers to the former address of author Jack London during his period in Hawaii in 1915-16 when he was stimulating interest in the islands through his writings. By chance, the same location is now the back door of Trump Int’l Hotel Waikiki. In the film, high-rise developments serve as magnified totems for a heavily congested urban environment fueled by Waikiki’s fabled touristic appeal. The film questions this interpretation of a paradisiacal paradigm in what could otherwise be termed a post-traumatic site, drawing on the creation and toxicity of the Ala Wai Canal as a potent metaphorical comment. This research project received funding from the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland.

It is at the end of Marseille, there is the entrance to the Calanques National Park and the mythical wall of the Baumettes, Marseille’s Prison. A large, beautiful stone wall separates the prison from the world outside. On both sides, we observe each other, we look at each other, we guess, we fantasize. We live together, we know each other. And then there are those who every day there come to help. Teachers, artists, workshop leaders … Their mission is to reintroduce a work ethic, understanding of emotion, and some compassion in this kingdom of stone. This film immerses us in this Marseille institution nestled in the hollow of the pines. We meet the people for whom the prison is an everyday job. For whom it can be a human place, a place of exchange. A city place that belongs to its neighborhood with a wall that brings as close as it separates. A way of reminding that the prison belongs not only to its neighborhood and to society. No wall should cut off completely what’s inside from the rest of the world.
