Hey! Teachers!
LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE?
Two young intellectuals, Katya and Vassya, come to a small industrial town to work as teachers. They want to change the system of scholastic education and the social situation in difficult regions. The school is a closed conservative world, where obedience and discipline are of the highest value. Young teachers discover that nationalism, sexism and homophobia are typical for their new environment. Children see the school as a prison and are completely indifferent to any new ideas. During one school year we observe attempts of our protagonists to bring new practices into the system. Young teachers try to speak with children about feminism, human rights and Russian politics, but the system pushes them out, and a comedy turns into a drama

In The Green Room
Kasiel Noah Asher, Krasimira Kuzmanova, Lilia Maraviglia and Stefka Yanorova are all talented female actors with different creative and personal biographies. The things they share are the education in the Sofia Theatre Academy and the reputation as established performers in plays, films and TV. The trade has its own rules and their interactions are not an exception – they are riddled with competition, putting their friendship under a continuous strain.
But a fatal attraction commands them to work together one more time. The reason is their love for the legendary Valeri Petrov play “Theatre, My Love”. Playing the roles of actors in it, they play themselves, building together the complicated character of “the Actress” by pieces of their own lives. Emotions flow from the green room to the stage and back. Old wounds open, new fires ignite. The theatre life and the theatre of life become one. The metaphorical world of the play becomes home for the everyday lives of the women, a place where their triumphs and miseries become real.

Terra Yanomami
The Yanomami have not been properly consulted about their views and have little access to independent information about the impacts of mining.
Davi Kopenawa, a leading Yanomami spokesman and President of Hutukara
Yanomami Association, warns of the dangers.
‘The Yanomami people do not want the national congress to approve the law or the president to sign it. We do not want to accept this law.
‘Our land has to be respected. Our land is our heritage, a heritage which protects us.’
‘Mining will only destroy nature. It will only destroy the streams and the rivers and kill the fish and kill the environment – and kill us. And bring in diseases which never existed in our land.’
