EVERYDAY REBELLION by The Riahi Brothers
What does the Occupy movement have in common with the Spanish Indignados or the Arab Spring? Is there a connection between
the Iranian democracy movement and the Syrian struggle and what is the link between the Ukrainian topless activists of Femen
and Egypt? The reasons for the various uprisings in these countries may be diverse, but their creative nonviolent tactics
they are strongly connected. Everyday Rebellion is a documentary & cross-media project celebrating the power and richness
of creative nonviolent protest and civil disobedience worldwide.

THE 727 DAYS WITHOUT KARAMO by Anja Salomonowitz

experiment where 21 couples were filmed while sharing personal moments of their journey. In this mosaic of portraits, each
couple is on camera for just a few minutes, but together they form one story: of how love can rise above the law.
Directed and written by Anja Salomonowitz
Produced by AMOUR FOU Vienna
