DOC ALLIANCE SELECTION // 2010
DOC ALLIANCE SELECTION represents five high-quality films, one selected by each of the Doc Alliance festival partners. The films tour at the five Festivals starting at VISIONS DU REEL Nyon. At the end of the year an international jury decides about the “Doc Alliance Award”. In 2010 the Award was handed over during the IDFF Jihlava to "The Arrivals". The five national markets support the films at their festivals and in their theatrical, TV and DVD distribution.
Into Eternity
Into Eternity follows the digging and pre-implementation of the Onkalo nuclear waste repository in Olkiluoto, Finland, while examining the principles at the core of nuclear waste management.
The Arrivals
Centered on the CAFDA, a municipal reception centre for asylum seeking families, The Arrivals is sympathetic portrayal of transition that delicately reveals the nuances of contemporary Europe, in contrast to the persecution and political oppression found beyond its borders.
Metrobranding
In communist Romania, each and every consumer product could be found only in one brand. These six brands appeared approximately at the same time, along with the socialist industrialization, becoming objects of desire in the daily lives and dreams of the Romanian people.
Steam of Life
In the warmth of rusty stoves, naked men ritualistically cleanse themselves, both physically and mentally. With the utmost simplicity and exceptional intimacy, Steam of Life captures the naked souls of these vulnerable storytellers, creating a poetic portrayal of Finnish men.
Aisheen / Still Alive in Gaza
Aisheen is a situation report from the Gaza Strip in February 2009, just one month after Israel’s military offensive. Aisheen shows what it means to rebuild one’s life and common existence in a destroyed region severed by an ongoing blockade.
