Recommend this film

The documentary Aliens and Herons portraits the fate of the sculptures from the Communist so called normalization era in the Czech public space. During the Communist regime there was a law ordering 4 per cent of building budget to be used for fine art and decoration in architecture.
The film describes the atmosphere of the time and the relationship of the artists to the "official art" and it's topics, but, mainly, it addresses the decay of the public space today and the devastation of often valuable artworks. There is no official protection of these "normalization" sculptures in the public space.
Today's officials or developers often demolish the sculpture, viewing it as an unwanted heritage of Communism, and renovating the blocks of houses with new pistachio green façade and a saddle roof instead.
Pavel Karous, a graduate of the Academy of Arts Architecture and Design started to map the disappearing statues, and to loose weight, he rides along the paths of these statues on his bike showing that the artwork made under the order of the Communist regime doesn't have to be shoddy. In terms of what order is the art being made today?
Why does it always have to be innocent sculptures who suffer from political change?

Single Shot Indonesia

Single Shot Indonesia

I mere end ti år, vender den hollandske filminstruktør Leonard Retel Helmrich tilbage til sine bedsteforældres hjemland, for at iagttage og filme de tumultagtige hastige ændringer i de år, af den økonomiske og kulturelle globalisering i Indonesien. Dafilms portalen viser nu alle tre film fra hans berømte dokumentarfilm trilogi (herunder den sidste del – Position among the Stars). På baggrund af spændinger i det indonesiske samfund, udfolder der sig, foran Helmrichs kamera, livet af Shamsudinns familien, der i slumkvartererne i Jakarta oplever sin hverdagshistorie om deres daglige arbejde og bekymringer, kærlighed og gensidig fjendtlighed. I ugen fra 21. maj kan I se de første to film fra trilogien -The Eye of the Day og Shape of the Moon gratis.

Østlige forjættelse

Østlige forjættelse

I denne uge tilbydes Dafilms portalens tilskuere en god portion europæisk eksotisme. Rundvisningen på det karakteristiske landskab i Østeuropa bliver formidlet til tilskuere i tre bemærkelsesværdige dokumentarfilm. Selv om filmene „Shutka Book of Records“, „The Mosquito Problem“, „Bahrtalo“ fortæller historier om mennesker, der for det meste er temmelige fattige, skal man ikke forvente tunge sociale dramaer. Man kan nemlig have et lykkeligt liv også uden penge!
