EXMYSTIKA: The first temple of Solomon

EXMYSTIKA: The first temple of Solomon

2025 • 16 min • Germany
Set against the backdrop of the little-explored Third Intermediate Period, this documentary uncovers a forgotten chapter of ancient history. Contrary to popular belief, the Exodus did not occur under Ramses the Second, but during a time of internal power struggles in Egypt. A lost secret triggers the departure of the Jews, and a new interpretation of the “Sea of Reeds” reveals where the Pharaoh met his fate. Groundbreaking geological findings redraw the escape route and point to a second Canaan far from the Levant. Solomon’s First Temple, it turns out, stood not in today’s Jerusalem, and its master builder, Akif Hiram, was no Phoenician. His name hints at an entirely different cultural origin. A stunning architectural discovery – long misunderstood as a cult site – comes to life through a 3D model, revealing the Temple’s true function. Babylonian conquest left behind ruins that later scholars misattributed, distorting history for centuries. Historian Pierre Dietz presents a bold new vision of the Exodus and the location of Solomon’s First Temple – a film that challenges historical dogma and reshapes our understanding of biblical events.

"Mothers in Shadow"

"Mothers in Shadow"

2025 • 40 min • Italy
"Mothers in Shadow" chronicles the history of female psychiatric internment in Sardinia, from the "stufa de li pazzi" (madmen's stove) of Sant'Antonio Abate, displaying the "Book where women who come with madness are noted" (1803), through San Giovanni di Dio, up to Villa Clara through the free interpretation of data drawn from clinical records, reaching the threshold of the Basaglia reform (1978). The docufilm interweaves testimonies from witnesses with dramatic reconstructions that embody three emblematic stories: Maria, confined for an unaccepted love and deported to Volterra; Anna, deprived of her illegitimate child; Giovanna, a rebellious artist against conventions. Through the exploration of Villa Clara's spaces, now Cittadella della Salute, and the alternation between Sardinian and Italian, the film reveals how internment was an instrument of social control rather than medical care. The voices in Sardinian language - an act of resistance - emerge in contrast with the coldness of clinical documents. A document that gathers testimonies before memory is definitively lost.

Divine Savage Love

Divine Savage Love

2024 • 4 min • Estonia, Indonesia
This film is born out of a poem that came to me watching sunrise on a secluded beach in Thailand. "I am the mother of your savage daughter," it started. I knew right there - this wants to become an art beyond words. So I followed the call, invited a friend, found film-makers and, in a sacred site and wild nature in Bali, we recorded the film. This poetry-film blends together movement, voice, nature, poetry and storytelling, awakening that deep longing and desire of our bodies and hearts hushed down by mind-centered society - to love and be loved in our divinity and humanity, heavenly and raw, to be chosen with all that we are by that divine counterpart crazy enough to embark on that journey we call love together. This is a radical YES to Love and being human.

A man with a severe addiction to reading—or in other words, to inhabiting realities different from his own—suddenly runs out of stories to consume and collapses within himself when forced to face his own reality. He ends up trapped in a space ruled by two sides of his subconscious: his addiction (disguised as an immaculate version of himself) and his creativity (a simple, surly typewriter). Guided involuntarily by his creativity, he confronts himself, journeying through the darkest corners of his being, his trauma, and the source of his addiction. Until, at last, he destroys everything—including the supposed typewriter that controls him—and emerges back into his reality, deciding for the first time to live his own story instead of reading others.

2025 • 57 min • Italy
Southern Italy - Salento. Romolo Crudo has a passion: dancing the pizzica pizzica. It is the traditional dance of his homeland, the cultural foundation of his childhood, and since he was a child, he has never stopped dancing. He has a mission, and now that he has discovered social media, he feels he can truly become someone. His wife and daughter follow his obsession through the squares of Salento, until a phone call seems to finally open the doors to fame. But something goes wrong. So Romolo is forced to choose between saving his family and continuing to chase his dream of fame. Romolo Crudo's pizzica is a dance that moves through town squares, enters the walls of homes, and shapes the life of a humble Salentinian family. A dance in which body language is intrinsically linked to the dancer’s inner world, their social and family context, and their relationship with the world around them. This dance is not just a moment of physical release but an unconscious expression of one’s being and personal history.
