this human world: REQUIEM IN WEISS – Das würdelose Sterben unserer Gletscher

Harry Putz, AT, 2025
60 min., OmeU

The glaciers of the Eastern Alps are dying—irreversibly, as scientists agree. While the “eternal ice” melts and permafrost thaws, tourism continues to boom. Visitors crowd into glacier cable cars to touch the vanishing ice one last time. Meanwhile, drastic interventions reshape the landscape: slope reinforcements, snow depots, artificial snow systems, and massive terrain modifications—a race against time to keep glacier skiing alive. Harry Putz creates a haunting cinematic homage to the dying glaciers of the Alps. Through in-depth interviews, he weaves science and emotion into a powerful documentary, filmed across 14 glaciers in Austria, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. In the end, one unavoidable question remains: How do we say goodbye to our glaciers?

A documentary portrait of Erich Richard Finsches: a Viennese contemporary witness, Holocaust survivor, and person of public interest. The portrait will first shed light on Erich Finsches' youth, which was marked by persecution by the Nazis. It will explore his character and examine how his experiences shaped him. His later life in post-war Vienna will also be discussed, and the film will explore how the then 18-year-old Erich, alone, without parents, but with firm determination and a zest for life, built a new existence for himself. We gain insight into the everyday life of Erich Finsches, now 94 years old, who, despite his history marked by the past, is still tireless in his efforts to convey his story to younger generations. His walking disability hardly prevents him from tirelessly attending commemorative ceremonies and schools at home and abroad to tell his story and convey his message of “never again” to students and interested parties.

this human world: OCEANIA: JOURNEY TO THE CENTER

Natalie Zimmerman, US OmeU

Oceania is an elegy, an investigation, and a call to action. The film challenges us to reconsider which connections are most important for the survival of humanity and ecosystems, and why we must restore them if we want to survive as a species. The story begins on a coral atoll that is expected to be uninhabitable by 2030 due to rising sea levels and temperatures caused by climate change. We follow a mother and her adult son as they struggle to preserve their culture, freedom, and independence after decades of colonization.

"Based on my own experience, which I extend through that of other infertile people, I show how Medically Assisted Reproduction changes our relationship with the body and the imaginary. We need to put mystery back where science gives us everything (too much) to see." Director Elodie Lélu

this human world: WHEN THE PHONE RANG

Iva Radivojević, RS, 2024
73 min., OmeU

An extremely original film revolving around a series of fateful phone calls. The phone rings for the first time in 1992. We are in the Serbian city of Novi Sad, where someone calls 11-year-old Lana to tell her that her grandfather has died. For Lana, this sad news is the first step towards the collapse of Yugoslavia, which is on the brink of civil war. Shot on analog 16mm film in Novi Sad in locations that still look like they did in the 1990s, the film dissolves the clear boundaries between past and present—much like Radivojević's 11-year-old alter ego, who is in transition between childhood and early adolescence.
