The pathos of universal unity against the backdrop of the overthrown imperial monuments triumphs on the Russian screen with the arrival of the cinema youth. But the closer we get to the "year of the great turning point", the more palpable this pathos is replaced by the pathos of the class struggle. New monuments appear in place of the dropped ones. And the "little man", not having had time to grow up, finds himself again at the foot of new pedestals. Monumental forms in cinema crowd the living human content of films.

It is not immediately that the cinematic space is filled with fresh shots. The orders of the new government are initially carried out by the filmmakers remaining in Soviet Russia with pre-revolutionary experience. The agitfilm of the Civil War is replaced by a "revolutionary melodrama" by the mid-20s. The expansion of film production requires new personnel: young people come from the "left" theater, who in the very near future will have to create a new revolutionary cinema.

A blind man has a dream in which a mystical voice directs him to the mountains. Various meetings and trials await the Blind Man along the way. Events are tied into a tragic knot, which can be cut by the mysterious owner of the voice.

In 1973, a group of grassroots activists launched an adult literacy project in the Villa Obrera neighborhood, on the outskirts of Centenario, Neuquén province, drawing on Cuban experiences and those developed by Paulo Freire in the 1960s. This initiative was filmed by professional photographer Raúl Rodríguez, with the goal of creating a film that would be useful for other neighborhoods and also provide a testament to the work accomplished. Thirty years later, "I Use My Hands, I Use My Ideas" rescues these images and the testimonies of those who participated in the project, a precursor to national literacy campaigns. It was an experience that drew on popular support and aimed to transform the traditional concept of education, fostering a critical reading of reality.

How well can movies reproduce the reality we see? Cinema used to record and reproduce the movements of the scene using a camera (photograph), a device that records the scene in terms of perspective. Is it true? Isn't it possible that our way of seeing things, on the contrary, was created by photographs and movies, or by paintings based on perspective that existed before then? This film provokes the way of viewing films cultivated in this way.

«Berlin, a city that was nearly levelled during World War II and divided between East and West for four decades, is the subject of André Lehmann’s impressive structural film ‘BER-LIN 99/00’. Tracing the former line of the wall, Lehmann’s rigorous study of the city’s neighbourhoods (architecture, bridges, billboards, graffiti, parks) is set to a fixed rhythm, suggesting the forward march of time.» —Susan Oxtoby (TIFF 2004, Wavelengths)
