Set in the late 60's, broken relationships and an astronomical event intertwine the various narrative threads - an abstract interpretation of the historical Christmas narrative.

You Will Not Have My Hatred

Salomon Ligthelm

How can a man, who had suffered so much, have a such a spirit of resilience and grace? This film is a contemplative meditation on the words of Antoine Leiris after the terror attacks in Paris. He shows a way that flows in the opposite direction of hate and retaliation.

Rocket Wars

Salomon Ligthelm

A war to keep the peace. In the small village of Vrontados on the Greek island of Chios, there is unrest. For over a century, parishioners of two Greek Orthodox churches have engaged in a battle on Holy Saturday, firing more than 100,000 homemade rockets at each other’s churches once the sun goes down. Its origin is unclear. One theory holds that churches on the island faked a civil war during the Turkish occupation so they could celebrate Easter without being plagued by war. Accordingly the ruse worked, as the Turks kept a safe distance, allowing the villagers to attend Easter Mass.
