Synopsis

In the summer of 2004, on a car journey in Eastern Europe, Pavla Fleischer met and fell in love with Eugene Hutz, lead singer of New York's Gypsy Punk  band Gogol Bordello. Captivated by his energy and his musical verve, and desperate to get to know him better, she decided to make a film about him. The Pied Piper of Hutzovina follows Eugene and Pavla on their subsequent  road trip through Eugene's home country, Ukraine. It is the story of two people traveling together on two very different courses. Her aim is to rediscover a forgotten romance; his is to rediscover his roots. She hopes to find love on the road; he hopes to find musical inspiration from the gypsy culture he is determined to preserve. This is an intimate portrait of a filmmaker with a passion for her subject, and a punk musician with a longing to revisit his past. Theirs is a journey which tests their relationship and challenges their perceptions of the music they both love.

Synopsis

Harmony and chaos meet in a mechanism of rythms and lights. The birth and death of a surreal environment in which familiar game-like rules drive the action's tightly synchronised evolution. A single oscillating dot becomes an abstract musical machine which plays itself using glowing orbs before exploding into particles which collapse together as the cycle completes.

Synopsis

As the world sleeps, a man dreams and his dream-spirit explores the winding streets of a slumbering watery town. He travels as a ball of light and sees hints and suggestions of a woman who evades him. She appears variously as a shadow, a footprint or the reflection of a face just turning away. Whether she is living or dead is unclear. As night slowly recedes and nature covers the traces of past loves, they come together in a final meeting and fade away forever.
