Inner Woods

The wild forest has always played a significant part in art, mythology and our imaginations. So what is lost in us as humans when the wild nature is quickly diminishing, and the feeling of us being an integral part of a living environment is disintegrating? In Inner Woods we get to follow artists and activists that in various ways try to re-establish the relationship to the wild around us.

Taxi Sister

Taxi Sister is a documentary about Boury, a female taxi driver in Dakar, Senegal. As a woman behind the wheel she leads a busy life filled with everyday drama, and constantly grapples with society’s view and expectations on women. The film is based on the Taxi Sister project, which was started by the Senegalese state in 2007 with the aim of encouraging female entrepreneurs. Ten women were offered the opportunity to get a drivers license and buy a car on credit. Today there are fifteen women taxi drivers in Dakar, which is nothing compared to the fifteen thousand male taxi drivers.
