The phenomenon that the documentary film deals with is on one hand unification of Europe and on the other the implementation of the Schengen regime on borders. In other words, the Schengen borders regime closes borders to the rest of the non-European Union countries, with the help of bureaucratic borders such as visa applications. The film tends to show the frustrations of the past and the fears of the future regarding a safer and better guarded Europe.

How to create an urban living space? How to change the world/your neighborhood? How to make the revolution? This film is about the New World Society, a citizens’ initiative in Tallinn, Estonia. The New World is an observational documentary. It follows the main characters and the dynamics of their revolution from the very beginning of it - four years ago. We see euphoria, passion, compromises, frustration, hurt feelings and broken hearts. It is the anatomy of one revolution.

The film is a 26-minute animated documentary about what the people of Dracula’s homeland know about this Hollywood created myth which became global and in which they don’t even believe? We also want to show how the Transylvanian people feel about exploring Dracula’s myth by the Dracula tourist tours. This inevitably leads to a mix of historical truths and imaginary facts which also gives us the opportunity to reflect in an ironic way on the present transition of the eastern European nations into the economic market society.

During the night of August 30, 1946, the village of Slemence on the eastern European border, was divided by the Red Army into two parts. One part, Veľké Slemence, remained in Slovakia [former Czechoslovakia]; the other part was renamed Malé Slemence and became a part of Ukraine [in the former Soviet Union]. The absurdly demarked border, similar to the famed Berlin Wall, divides estates, the cemetery, and closest families up to this day. This documentary pictures the bitter experience of people from Slemence, who dream of the opening of the most closely-watched border of the European Union.
