Women with a Mission - Sharita
In the documentary film Women with a Mission - Sharita boxing coach Sharita van der Hulst is followed during a course for boxing coaches that she provides in the South African prison Drakenstein Correctional Centre where heavy sentences are served. Sharita has a strong belief in the power of sports, in her case the sport of boxing, to give prisoners a challenge and a goal in their life. With her professional and enthusiastic commitment Sharita manages to gain the confidence of the prisoners who heap praise on what they learn and on how it helps them during their stay in prison and eventually beyond. The documentary film gives a unique look into the prison where Nelson Mandela, himself boxer, was serving the last 18 months of his captivity before he finally came on free foot and shows what it means to get a second chance.

Baletnyy sindrom

Baletnyy sindrom

Documentary drama about the backstage of Russian ballet. It is no secret for the creative community that ballet dancers more often than others face harassment and blackmail from teachers and theater managers. Despite this, all active dancers claim that theaters and ballet schools are "monasteries with their own charter," which the artist is obliged to accept, and for years they have tolerated the clause about sexual obedience to masters and mentors included in this charter. For what reason are ballet dancers silent about the dark side of the profession and what is their silence really hiding?
