In a British-ruled India, a subedar, an officer of the Indian Army, is sent to collect taxes in a village. Riding into the village, the subedar chances upon Sonbai, a beautiful, married woman. Abusing his power as an officer, he demands that Sonbai sleeps with him while her husband is away. To his surprise, Sonbai slaps him in full view of his soldiers before running off. Enraged and embarrassed, the subedar orders his soldiers to capture Sonbai. However, Sonbai escapes to the spice factory, where the elderly watchman locks the soldiers out to protect her. The town leader is then commanded to deliver Sonbai to the subedar and after some deliberation, the patriarchal village decides to sacrifice Sonbai. As the spice factory comes under attack, Sonbai and the female factory workers finally decide to stand up for themselves. Awards/Festivals: Best Feature Film, Hawaii International Film Festival; Moscow International Film Festival.

Julian, an 8 year-old Raramuri boy, starts to glimpse the construction of strange tourist attractions in the Sierra Tarahumara mountain range. For Nazareno and other community elders these events confirm the threat of displacement that, for decades, has been hanging over their town, the most remote one, where, ignored by government officials, children grow up to live and the elders die to stay.

Beyond sprawling highways and off the electrical grid, a remote fishing village in southeastern Brazil lives according to the rhythms of the sea. This community descended from Indigenous peoples, Europeans, and escaped African slaves, is one of the last of its kind. It’s a unique culture, whose sustainable practices and alternative forms of kinship are threatened by deforestation and unbridled government-led development. No Kings is a lovingly crafted ode to nature and the resistance of contemporary Indigenous life.

A poetic time travel fantasy through the imagined history of the United States as a modern fairyland, along the traces of our desire for illusion and escapism – fatally bound between fact and fiction, anticipating the current reality shifts in the US.
PLAYLAND USA questions the possibilities and limits of the representation of history and is a self-reflection regarding film as a medium. The film asks essential questions: What is seeing? How do we see the world? And: What is invisible, for us, for others?
The film draws a line in cinematic images from Noah’s Ark to the colonization of Mars, including dinosaurs, Indians, and superheroes, of course. It becomes increasingly clear that Benjamin Schindler has made many „American Dreams“ into an „American Nightmare“, inscribing quotes of pop culture and Hollywood into a biblical history. When the film recounts the shooting at the Batman premiere in Aurora, reality and fiction have finally merged.
