TRAINS by Maciel J. Drygas
A train compartment is a place where, for a while, people are taken out of their everyday context. For a few hours or days, they inhabit a temporary community, and their lives unfold according to a timetable. A train journey is something beautiful, magical, but also often very dramatic. Sometimes, the journey is accompanied by the hope that something will change in our lives upon reaching the destination, or conversely, by a stark absence of hope.  A documentary crafted in the found footage genre, using archival film materials from 46 archives around the world, Trains harnesses the vast potential of cinematic language to forge an emotional connection between the viewer and the archival reality.  Winner - Best Documentary Feature & Best Editing - International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam.

“Trains is not just a technical achievement – a skillful and patient result of working with archives – but also a meditation on the moral weight and responsibility of images.” — Cineuropa

“Like Koyaanisqatsi with an Interrail pass… this magnetic cine-essay is also a hidden tribute to that second voyager in space and time: the train’s contemporary, the movie camera.” — The Guardian
