INCENDIOS
Bolivia, Chiquitania - 2019 (completed 2021)
Chaqueo is a Bolivian method of burning the forest to obtain arable land. In 2019, this activity was legalized by recognizing fire as a legal tool in tillage. Soon after, the fires in the country got out of control. The film explains the issue of Chaque and shows the efforts of volunteer fire brigades to save at least the most vulnerable places such as human settlements and nature reserves. The film invites the viewer to think about the topic and ask himself the question to what extent he himself is part of the problem.

BEYOND CATALONIA
Europe – 2018
Although it may not be a matter of the immediate future, the situation in Catalonia raises an urgent question: Is it an isolated case or the first of the fissures eroding the Union? The reality is that most European countries are dealing with self-determination in one or more of their regions. The economic crisis, the rise of immigration and media coverage have all contributed to growing support for nationalist parties. Old enmities are rekindled. Every few months we hear of a new request for a referendum aimed at greater autonomy, as happened recently in northern Italy. The aim of the series is to document these tendencies and their possible implications for the future of Europe.
ROHINGYA EXODUS
Bangladesh – 2017
“The sun finally set and darkness covered the coast. All the hustle and bustle of the day stopped. It's quiet. And yet some ship is still looking for a way to the shore. However, it sails without lights to show its way or reveal its location. It is full of people who immediately start collecting their luggage. Their movements are hurried and economical. The men jump from the boat directly into the water and then help their wives. An old woman is unable to walk, and her son takes her in his arms and walks with her through the waves to the shore..."

FROZEN DONETSK
Ukraine, Donetsk People's Republic - 2017
Secession from Ukraine and the creation of the Donetsk People's Republic was not a step that the world would welcome with approval. For this mining region, which before the war was one of the most developed places in Ukraine, this meant virtual isolation from the world, although in Donetsk it is presented as having finally taken matters into their own hands, the present already shows the result of such a decision. Many international companies have withdrawn from the region since the start of the war, as shown by the local DonMac, which replaces the original MacDonald's in the central square. The popular football club Shakhtar, which celebrated success around the world, now plays in exile and its stadium is empty. A look inside the separatist republic. The report was pulled from the channel so as not to justify the current Russian aggression.
VŠICHNI JSME VOJÁCI
Nagorno-Karabakh - 2016
"War is expensive." Sara casually drops the conversation on the way through Stepanakert. As a former soldier of the Soviet army, a refugee from Baku and a veteran of the Nagorno-Karabakh war, he knows what he is talking about. He offered to show us the towns and villages of this self-proclaimed country, which has not achieved official recognition, although it has been trying for a long time. During the drive through the city, Saro pays the most attention to familiar places and buildings, and says words about war as if by accident, and yet they stay with me the longest. Yes, war is expensive. And in this small country of roughly 150,000 people, you can see it at every turn.
In 1988, the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan broke out in Karabakh. Although they are not currently at open war, the conflict has never completely ceased and both countries are suffering because of it.
LOST IN IDOMENI
Greece - Idomeni Refugee Camp - 2016
"I still remember a good life when I had my own shop and people around me knew me far and wide. I had respect and my family lived well. Now nobody knows about me, I am one of many, one of thousands sitting here in the mud, and my children have not been in school for two years. I try to explain it to them, to the people who come to the camp, to all the journalists and volunteers who are constantly running around. I try to explain to them what my situation is, but they just tell me that everyone is in a bad situation and move on. I stop them every day and explain to them every day that I have a leaky tent, it's leaking, and my kids are sleeping in wet blankets, but they just say that someone doesn't have a tent at all and that they'll get back to me later. I'm afraid that if we go to the army camps, everyone will forget about us. There will be no one, no media, no volunteers, and no one will care what happens to us. At least we're in plain sight here. The world has to do something about it, right?'
A six-month photo report from the largest refugee camp in Europe at the time.
