Do You See Me?

Do You See Me?

2025 • 15 min • Palestine
👁️ 21
Do You See Me? is a short documentary photopoem confronting the calculated use of starvation as a weapon against Gaza. Through unfiltered frontline images and the voice of a child, the film bears witness to hunger, rubble, and absence—realities numbers cannot carry and headlines cannot hold. Every image is raw, drawn from civilians and photojournalists under siege. Every word is distilled into poetic lines that ache with testimony: what it feels like to hunger, to wait, to lose. Layered with oud, haunting music, silence, and rubble, the child’s voice pulls us into the unbearable—asking not for pity, but for witness. This film is not only about Palestine. These are children like any others on this planet—children with birthdays, futures, and dreams—all stolen. Do You See Me? is both art and testimony, an urgent call for audiences everywhere to look, to refuse silence, and to become advocates for lives deliberately stripped away. This is not a neutral documentary; it is an indictment. It names what is erased: that starvation is deliberate, systematic, and preventable. The film ends with a devastating twist—a plea that cannot be unheard. This is a film of still images and voices of children. No action. No special effects. No cinematography. No stunts. Still images for many reasons—enough to look.

PROMETHEUS AGAIN wants to counteract the hypothermia in many areas of our society with an image of warmth. It deals with the metaphor of fire as a motor, energy and incitement to one’s own creativity, to the conscious design of the future society we want to live in. Prometheus is considered an ‘avantgarde thinker,’ the bearer of fire, the archetype of the brave rebel who initiates the liberation from ignorance – but also as a dazzling symbol of scientific and technical progress. Perhaps we need to gradually learn to understand the real potential of fire and its value so that we do not burn it up in relentless belief in progress. What are we actually passionate about? What are we ‘burning for’?

The host of a late-night show randomly selects two contestants for a quick game. The rules are simple: they must sense the passage of time without using any clocks. Whoever comes closest to one hour wins $1,000 — and if they're accurate to the second, they advance to the super round. But one of the contestants turns out to be far from random, and the "quick" game spirals into a live broadcast that lasts over 24 hours. As tensions rise between the host and the contestant, it becomes clear that time is far more valuable than money.

Novelist Thomas Wolfe once said that you can never go back and find home again, but he was wrong, because we carry home within us, deep down inside, in our hearts and up in the stars. Back To Omaha is a nostalgic journey back to the joys and innocence of childhood. West takes us back to his childhood memories of endless sunflower fields, star filled skies, isolated railroad tracks and his journey back to finding home. Back To Omaha was mixed and mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios in London. Showell won the 2025 Grammy for Record of the Year (Now & Then By The Beatles.) West painted the portraits of Showell at Abbey Road Studios and the other drawings and paintings in this video.

Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are working on the world's deadliest migration route across the Mediterranean to rescue people whose lives are in danger. In recent years, the rescue of human lives has become increasingly difficult. Legal restrictions introduced by the maritime authorities to reduce migration flows increase the risks and dangers for people who risk fleeing across the sea. In fact, the number of shipwrecks and deaths has risen sharply since 2020. The rescue operations of NGO ships are becoming increasingly difficult as they have to navigate through a sea of laws and bureaucratic obstacles to avoid serious legal and economic consequences. These could put their simple principle and goal at risk: Saving lives. A short animation, created in collaboration with SOS Méditerranée Switzerland, introduces the public to a topic that is unknown to many. It encourages viewers to reflect on the fact that NGOs that are committed to saving human lives are always at risk of being penalised for their work.
