The production process of a film is long and challenging
for everybody involved. Film makers and producers
struggle for developing, financing and realising their
vision whilst financiers and supporters take risks and have
to trust one another until the very end. To bring
the film to its audience, to find international distribution
and recognition is also

meeting the team behind
the films and hearing
a film’s heartbeat. To get to know each other is a key tool to
enter the Film Industry and succeed. To be here at
DOK Leipzig is a marketing tool which film professionals
should capitalize on and enjoy.
The DOK Market team is glad to welcome you to its 8th
edition. We showcase all documentary and animated
films from the official festival programme plus 175
further brand new documentaries recommended by the
selection committee or our partner organisations.
We are happy to continue our partnership with Switzerland (Vision du réel and Swiss Films), Czech Republic
(East Silver and Institute of Documentary Film), Chile
(Chile Doc) and Poland (Krakow Film Foundation).
This year we entered into new partnerships with Greece
(StoryDoc) and Canada (Hot Docs). Moreover we are
proud to present the first results of our new training
initiative, DOK.Incubator, which supports documentaries
in post-production.
All presented films have been produced within the last
year 2011 – 2012 and they reflect the philosophy of
DOK Leipzig: They have a unique access to their subject,
they prove the critical point of view of the director and
they stand out for their aesthetic quality. The DOK Market
is the place to discover new creative documentaries with
international appeal. Here you have the opportunity
to quickly get an overview of the festival’s programme
and the current developments in documentary and
animated film making – whenever your schedule in Leipzig
allows you to watch films. Our digital library is open for
accredited guests with a Market badge during the
whole week of the festival. Decision makers are welcome
to book one of the 30 viewing booths in advance.

the festival programme will be available to all web users
and documentary lovers after they have completed the
festival circuit.
The DOK Market in Leipzig is meant to be a personal
networking place in a friendly atmosphere where you go to
meet and discover films, talents, old and new partners

Nowadays, big film festivals like DOK Leipzig no longer
just function as a glittering platform for films to be
presented or as an important meeting point for film and
media professionals from all over the world. Their role
as creative hub for knowledge transfer and information as
well as for the sustainable support of film projects is
becoming more and more important. In times of continuous shifts film festivals serve as change indicators
and strengthen and support the development, production
and distribution of creative documentary films.
Therefore, DOK Leipzig has decided to extend its
activities out through the year and is launching, together
with us, the six-month training initiative DOK.Incubator.
As times are challenging for the documentary market

with projects in the rough
cut stage – a time when usually crucial decisions about
the future quality and success of the films are taken under
extreme time and money pressures. Three workshop
modules help them to fully discover the potential of their
films, to further develop and focus the storytelling and
dramaturgy and inspire them regarding creative ways for
marketing and distribution of their projects.
Our aim is to maximize the potential of the film by pro‑
viding creative input, plan a powerful film release and
a target distribution strategy as well as inspiring producers
and film makers to use new media tools, social networks
and alternative financing models.
On Wednesday morning, 31 October 2012, you are warmly
invited to experience the results of our training pro‑
gramme at the first DOK.Incubator Preview. Eight producers
and directors will present their brand new films in front
of industry professionals and potential partners and
will be looking forward to your inspiring feedback. Please
come, enjoy and support!
We are looking forward to welcoming you.

It is a great honour for us to continue our cooperation
with DOK Leipzig by presenting the East Silver selection
of documentary films from Central and Eastern Europe
in the DOK Market.
In 2012 East Silver is bringing three remarkable films to the
festival program. Private Universe by Helena Třeštíková and
Rudolf Šmíd’s docu-animation Chronicle of Oldřich S. are
both Czech representatives.
We are presenting

The third selected doc Mama Illegal is directed by Austrian
filmmaker Ed Moschitz. It shows sad stories of three
women from a small town in Moldavia, living now in Austria
as cleaning women. On top of their hard job they live
a life in illegality without documents, far away from their
children and families for years.
Another ten documentaries can be found at the DOK
Market. They are all part of the East Silver Market, which
serves as a meeting point for the key industry professionals
interested in exceptional, hand-picked creative East
European documentaries. The best East European films
of the East Silver Market are nominated in three
categories (short, mid-length, and feature) for the Silver
Eye Award which brings financial prizes and festival
services all year round.
The East Silver Caravan documentary showcase travels
with a selection of the best creative documentaries from
Central and Eastern Europe, in order to reach a wide
international audience. We cooperate with 90 of the most
prestigious film festivals and markets around the world.
East Silver is organized by The Institute of Documentary
Film. The main partner of the project is Jihlava Inter
national Documentary Film Festival.
We wish you an inspiring festival and a successful market
in Leipzig! Sincerely,

We are proud of our friends and thrilled to be members
of DOK Leipzig for the third, consecutive year. The history
of our documentary filmmakers’ relationship with the
festival is a long one, built over decades, where solidarity
and film have been our touchstones.
We believe that the alliance we have today is part of that
tradition, and the result of a relationship based on
trust, collaboration, affection and a common interest to
seek new alliances and expand documentary filmmaking
horizons.
Chiledoc is an organization whose objective is to inter
nationalize the documentary productions of our country.
In the last ten years, we have experienced constant

many festivals and other national and international
organizations, such as our partners in Germany, Dok
Leipzig. It’s because of them that we are able to continue
to project ourselves into the future. As a result of this
collective endeavor we are very happy to coordinate, along
with Cinemachile, this delegation of talented producers
and directors, so they can attend and share their best
projects. Our presence year after year has become stronger
and this union consolidates the associative work that
makes us a solid sector and boosts our films’ potential.
The selected films for the festival competition, the Latin
American section and those commercially available,
offer a diverse array and strong images of our documentary
cinema, which has been widely awarded and noted in
the last years, due to its cinematographic language and
subject matter. Our essence and idiosyncrasy can be clearly
seen, marked by earthquakes and tsunamis, where lives
and landscapes change constantly, where we fight our
villains constantly and where we try to pursue our ideals.
Today we can share with you this programming that
reflects part of our spirit. We greet our colleagues and
organizers of this version of Dok Leipzig, and we offer our
warmest wishes for this to be an unforgettable festival.
CinemaChile participation in this year’s DOK Leipzig is a
source of great satisfaction.
Firstly, to confirm that in Chile collective efforts outweigh
individual ones. This is reflected in the partnership work
that we are developing with our dear friends at Chiledoc.
With them we share the interest in supporting the
internationalization of Chilean documentary, making our
directors and producers known around the world
and encouraging co-production associations with foreign
partners. This common interest to both organizations
is complemented by the support provided by the Arts and
the Audiovisual Industry Council (CAIA) and ProChile,
both public entities that have consistently supported
the Chilean audiovisual sector in its efforts to develop
internationally.
Our presence at DOK Leipzig is also the result of the
systematic work between two of the most important
associations in the country: APCT and ADOC, of which we
are pleased and proud. The other major source of satis
faction is strengthening ties with DOK Leipzig, who by
now we also recognize as partners and friends. In this third
year of continuous participation in the festival, we are
pleased to have documentaries in the Latin American
section (Special Program), with projects in development
and a number of films on the market. To complement
this remarkable presence,

For several years, the international film festival Visions du

collaboration with DOK

in Switzerland, which
is a result of a long history of
support adopted by the state and the country’s regions,
as well as by the public television broadcasters.
Coming from all parts of Switzerland, the films share an
aesthetic and ethic commitment in all their exciting
diversity of genres, approaches, points of view and styles
of writing and all have an individual fingerprint. They
are made by experienced as well as new directors and
producers. They explore collective memories or individual
destinies, tell spectacular stories or impress by intimate
narrative. Many of them got great responses by press
and public in international film festivals and are going to
be distributed worldwide and released in cinemas.
Most of the films have been shown at the 2012 Visions du
Réel in Nyon. You may notice that we are convinced
that documentary filmmaking not only deals with subjects,
but also and above all, with form and aesthetics. We invite
you to join Visions du Réel’s next edition between
19 and 26 April 2013. You will discover outstanding world
and international premieres in the festival programme
and attend inspiring encounters with film makers from all
over the world. Within the large programme of the
Doc Outlook International Market, you will find around
350 selected films at the Media Library and may attend
the Pitching du Réel, Docs in Progress, Focus Talk and Rough
Cut Lab to discuss current subjects at the panels.

1712 Battle
of the Baltic
by Markku Lehmuskallio, Anastasia Lapsui
The film is examining a man through the figures he
has carved and painted on the rock. Cave paintings are
mirrors through which ancient people are watching
us as we are actually watching them. Do we understand
each other ? Do we see ourselves in the stone age paintings ? The film is a journey into the past and, at the same
time, a portrait of a man, right here and right now.

mighty army stationed on the German island of Ruegen.
But this army needed supplies, so Sweden sent over
100 supply ships, escorted by its mighty battle fleet. This
huge fleet was spotted along the way. Denmark sent
its own warships – and the two fleets clashed somewhere
north of the island of Ruegen. But where exactly this
battle took place, how many ships were sunk, and how
important it was has remained unknown for 300 years. In
2011, a team of archaeologists and historians scoured
the Baltic Sea’s murky waters and the naval archives of
Sweden and Denmark. Using state-of-the-art technology,
they uncovered several wrecks from the battle, as well
as previously-lost documents, describing what a
debacle for Sweden this battle turned out to be. The film
accompanies the ongoing excavation and the scientists
at work. Key moments are re-enacted, using the very few
authentic sailing vessels from the 18th century in exist
ence today. Combined with archaeological footage, both
above and underwater, and digital reconstructions of
the wrecks found, the film reveals the secrets of one of the
biggest navel battles of the Baltic.

300 Tons of Gold
by Marius Iacob
A unique way of life that repeats itself every day, slowly
transformed Imre and Piroska in some museum
exhibits. In a quiet and isolated world we meet a couple
whose existence begins to depend on the interaction
with a different world and the absurd within. Their line
of work turned them into a sort of local attraction,
and vacationing foreigners are brought to see ‘the bears’
and photograph themselves with them. Their life
stands still, like in a museum diorama, from which they
are trying to break through.
FILM ID
The film follows the fight of a farmer, Eugen David, for
the survival of his beautiful village and his happy
life in the mountains of Romania. A Canadian company
wants to open Europe’s largest opencast goldmine
here. They plan to relocate the people and destroy four
mountains along with part of Rosia Montana itself, a
2,000-year-old settlement, with its historical monuments
and unique, ancient galleries. The local population
is made up of unemployed miners who support the plan
while Eugen and his family are not willing to accept
the local landscape being turned into something more
similar to the surface of the moon. In their opinion,
the planned construction of a cyanide mine and tailing
pond will quite possibly create the biggest ecological
time bomb Europe has ever seen. The plan splits the
once peaceful community in two. Brothers and friends
become enemies. Politicians come and go, but no one
has passed a decision on the gigantic project so far.
Eugen, the most powerful landholder, refuses to leave his
home. He wants to protect his land, the churches and
the cemeteries. In a fight against the Gold Corporation,
our hero brings the battle from his farm all the way
to Brussels.
As this film is part of the DOK.Incubator workshop 2012 and
still in post-production, DOK Market presents only a trailer.

‘We are sometimes the people in the meadows, sometimes the people under the meadow …’ With this poem
by Ernst Jandl, the seniors of the ensemble 5th season
occupy every place in Stuttgart with their flashmob action.
‘Living offside ? Thanks ! No need !’ The players face
a parted response from the audience: in addition to
enthusiasm and encouragement – rejection and lack of
understanding. Moving beyond the offside age requires a lot: at her performances Marijke lays her shyness
aside. Joseph, who forgets his pain while playing, or
Manne who after his stroke, again finds the way back to
the theatre group. They all come together to use their
still remaining time.

Iselsa and Catty chose, along with 150 families, to
be part of a social experiment: to be inserted in a middle
class neighbourhood in Valparaiso. As community
leaders and friends they have worked together on the
project and to be integrated in a neighbourhood
that rejected them because they are considered potential delinquents. The documentary observes, over
seven years, the struggle to obtain their homes, the integration to the neighbourhood and the challenge to
overcome their deep inherited disagreements through
this process. If they don’t, the neighbourhood they

Addiction
by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders
Portrait photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders’s
lush new film is an intimate view of women whose
images have defined our sense of beauty over the past
five decades. An uncensored look at many of the
biggest names in modeling, About Face reveals the stories
behind the magazine covers displaying these multicultural pioneers. Each woman is candidly interviewed
in the studio and shares her experiences, ideas on
longevity, and philosophy of life in the fashion industry.
Archival footage and interviews with designer Calvin
Klein and agency head Eileen Ford round out this
chronicle. About Face is a step back in time to a glamorous,
yet complicated era when drugs were rampant and
women were routinely harassed and mistreated. The
divergent attitudes among the women about everything
from the business of modeling, to aging and plastic
surgery, are fascinating and priceless. About Face celebrates the raw intelligence and staying power of these
timeless icons.

‘All men seek happiness. This is the motive of every
action of every man, even of those who hang themselves.’
(Blaise Pascal) Four people in Berlin. Their life is
all about addiction. In Addiction we follow them around
in their daily lives. Through them we get to know
directly what it really means to be an addict. The film tells
their stories strictly from their point of view. We as the
viewers are present when their bodies ask for more, we
watch how the heroin is bought, we observe preparation,
consumption, having a high and suffering from the
withdrawal symptoms. We see what the addiction has
caused them to become and how they nevertheless
want to live their lives. Four people, four heavy addicts,
show their world to us and we are allowed to participate
in their activities, their thoughts and their feelings.
One would like to look the other way – and watch them
closely at the same time. The film is not simply a
document. Instead, it treats the topic in an essayistic
manner. Does ‘addiction’ only mean an ‘illness’ – or
doesn’t it also mean the quite general, human search for
happiness which makes ‘addicts’ out of some of us ?

All Happy
Mornings
by Carsten Gebhardt
Artist collective or avant-garde band – it is still uncertain
how to describe the group of four young people from
Karl-Marx-Stadt, who in the late 80s seized the unlikely
opportunity by the state-operated (and state-controlled) youth radio station DT64 not only to be noticed
favourably due to submitted cassettes featuring self-produced music, but also to be broadcasted. Just a short
time later the band was touring the country, their music
was produced professionally by this very radio station,
and only a couple of weeks before the German reunification, they surprisingly found themselves in the recording studios of the nation’s sole record combine. And
yet, all four of them weren’t even musicians, but autodidacts. Their gigs were rather performances than
concerts: the oddly artificial costuming, the use of selfproduced and over-painted films and videos, the lyrics,
from strangely absurd to poetic. And a music which under
the dictate of the omnipresent economic scarcity was
produced with the aid of tape recordings and randomly
gathered equipment and characterized by electronic
sounds and samples. The film shows live recordings, still
existing video material and tries to follow up the artistic
intention and the peculiarities of the period by interviewing and conversing with all the protagonists.

A personal journey into bisexual being, the film exposes
a piece of the passionate, wild world found by the
filmmaker in documenting his relationship with Chen,
a rising rock star. Facing the pressure all around him,
Yefman tries to find a way to feel complete without having to explain and without feeing guilty. Alongside
the personal dilemma is his singular family – his brother
Gil, who keeps pushing the limits of gender, his sister Rona, a photographer who lives in New York, and their
grand childless parents, who are longing for the continuity of their family tree. Like the men he talks to confidentially, they present him with the main conflicts in
his life. As the inevitable crisis looms, a new factor emerges
and illuminates things in a new light.

Ameer Got His Gun
by Naomi Levari
Ameer is about to enlist in the army. As opposed to the
majority of eighteen-year-old boys in Israel, for whom
army service is mandatory, Ameer is exempt from
military service under the assumption that his enlistment may endanger Israel’s security. That is because
Ameer is a Muslim Arab. And yet, Ameer has decided to
volunteer. All alone, he sets out on a journey to civic
and self-definition, while carefully navigating the thin
line between Jewish and Arab societies. Ameer, an
eternal optimist, wishes to be both a proud Arab and an
enthusiastic Israeli, while his only enemy is reality.

Homosexuality was not an issue in the Socialist system.
It was considered a ‘relic of decadent bourgeois morality’,
and it was thought that it would automatically take
care of itself. Section 175, the anti-homosexual provision
of the German Criminal Code, which had been tightened by the Nazis during the Second World War, was
retained in West Germany. In the East, it was returned
to its pre-Nazi version. Here one could initially live
more freely – just not talk about it. In this film, six men
tell their story about how gay men lived and loved in
the GDR – and by no means are they always in agreement.
Among Men tells the story of individuality in a uniform
system.

Anatomy
of a Departure
by Oliver Tataru
by Eric Baudelaire
Who are May and Fusako Shigenobu ? Fusako leader of a
small extreme left-wing group, the Japanese Red
Army– has been hiding in Beirut for nigh on 30 years.
May, her daughter, only discovered Japan at the age of
27. And Masao Adachi ? A screenwriter and radical,
activist filmmaker, committed to the armed struggle.
Amongst other things, he is also the instigator of a
‘theory of landscape’ fukeiron: through filming landscapes Adachi seeks to reveal the patterns of oppression.
Anabasis ? This, ever since Xenophon, has been the
name given to difficult or even circuitous homeward
journeys. It is this complex, dark story, always full of
tension that Eric Baudelaire has chosen to evoke using
the documentary format. Shot in Super 8, and in the
manner of fukeiron, contemporary views of Tokyo and
Beirut are blended in with archive footage, TV clips
and excerpts from films to spread out the backdrop for
May and Adachi’s voices and memories. They speak
of everyday life, of being a little girl in hiding, of exile,
politics and cinema and the fascinating relationships
between them. Jean-Pierre Rehm

Anatomy of a Departure presents the director’s family,

we go back to a haunting decision, which once taken,
successively destroyed the place they called home.

And Who Taught
You to Drive
by Stefano Tealdi
Mario Marangoni and Giancarlo Zanardo are making
a one hundred year-old dream come true. They have
re-constructed the first air machine designed by Gianni
Caproni and will make it fly. It is a massive vehicle
with hand sown wings and a unique (and unreliable)
4 piston engine. In 1910, it only flew 250 metres, but
this time it will fly for real and the builders will be in the
pilot’s seat. Following its reconstruction, the film
narrates the adventures of the Italian Gianni Caproni,
the man that gave birth to the most important air
industry in Europe, at least until the second world war.
FILM ID
Three expats learning to drive realize that the great
challenge is not the strange traffic rules (in their
new countries), but rather their ingrained behavioural
patterns. They all need a driving license somewhat
urgently. While taking lessons and trying to pass their
tests, they realize how their cultures are entirely in
their way. Their confusion over driving on the right
or left side of the road, waving hand-signals or clicking
are just the beginning of their ‘comedy of errors’.
The film follows three people who learn life lessons
much bigger than driving. Mirela, an impatient, decisive
German woman launches her international design
business in India – where buying a coffee can take 2
hours. Jake, a very relaxed citizen of the USA, seduced
by the glory and mystery of Tokyo, discovers that
his favourite word ‘whatever’ does not translate into
Japanese. HyeWon, meekly asking permission from her
husband before making any decision in Korea, learns
to live by herself alone in Germany ! This movie celebrates cultural diversity and questions our underlying
structures and values which shape and challenge us:
A fun, funny and dramatic story of people losing their
way, finding another way, and discovering who they
really are.

Are You Listening !
by Ulrike Franke, Michael Loeken
Arbeit Heimat Opel profiles six young people, aged
16 to 19, who began their apprenticeships as industrial
mechanics at the Opel plant in Bochum, Germany
in 2009. While they must learn to cope with a new phase
in their lives, the start of their professional careers and
approaching departure from the security of their
parental homes, Opel itself is being sucked deeper and
deeper into the maelstrom of the international financial
crisis and facing ever-increasing economic pressure.
We follow Jerome, André, Sinan, Tim, Marius and Marcel,
with all their hopes and fears, through this period
of radical change; we are introduced to their dreams for
the future as well as their worries. They stand at the
threshold of a professional life whose future is already
uncertain. At the same time, Arbeit Heimat Opel contrasts
the everyday lives of the Plant II apprentices with
GM and Opel’s fortunes on the world stage on two seemingly unrelated levels. Despite their distance both in
physical and in media terms, the two levels repeatedly
intersect and come into contact with one another,
connecting global strategies with local and personal life
plans – and vice versa.

If you could pick only one photograph of yourself for
the next generations to remember you, which one would
you choose ? The film brings together stories from
people facing their gravestone picture while still being
alive and focuses on the image of the self as a threshold of
the visible world they leave behind. As this is an eternal memory for the descendants, people seem to be very
keen on finding ‘the right’ portrait. How would you
recognize your 82-year-old grandparents if their gravestone portrait shows them as 16-year-old adolescents ?
The graveyard picture is also part of the collective
memory of the society we live in. That’s why Sabina, a
72-year-old widow, wants to replace her gravestone
picture because she is ‘too red’ and she will be misjudged
as an alcoholic. Making a gravestone picture is not an
easy task nowadays, as the photo ceramic companies offer
a variety of shapes and backgrounds, from colourful
curtains to natural landscapes or ‘heaven-like’ sceneries.
While the audience discovers the graveyard as a public
photo album and a living social document, the characters
fall into a psychological process of finding the perfect
image to-be-remembered.

Portrait
Battery Man
by Hart Snider
In 1983, nine-year-old Hart attends Jewish summer camp
for the first time. A haven for Hart and other Jewish
kids, camp is suddenly disrupted by the announcement
of a special visit: kids from a nearby town will be their
guests at a cultural mixer. But this is not just any group
of visitors – these kids have been taught anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial in school. The night before
they arrive, Hart and his friends speculate about what
tomorrow will bring. They fear the worst, imagining the
visitors might burn the camp down, or maybe even
try to kill them. Incorporating animation, documentary
and personal memoir, The Basketball Game unfolds
from filmmaker Hart Snider’s point of view. Snider uses
humour and suspense to tell a poignant tale of hope and
tolerance in the face of fear and stereotypes.

Beer Is Cheaper

Beautiful Faces
Beautiful Faces offers a compelling look at one of the
world’s most remarkable hospitals, the disfigured young
patients to whom it offers new lives, and the team
of surgeons, physicians, and medical professionals who
believe it’s the best place in the world to practice
their unique, life-transforming craft. Beautiful Faces
interweaves the stories of patients and their families who
come to the reconstructive plastic surgery unit at
Hospital Gea Gonzalez seeking physical transformations
that will renew their own and their loved ones lives
with the personal stories of the enormously talented medical professionals whose work is both their passion and
their gift to humankind. Beautiful Faces ultimately
demonstrates that, in many ways, the distinction between
patients and caregivers is only an illusory one, and that
much more than cutting, sawing and sewing, the essential task of the hospital is the freeing of the human
spirit. It is work that allows doctors and patients alike to
look comfortably in the mirror and understand that
they are vitally important members of the human family.

‘I’m 22 years old and I must have killed 30 people. The

That’s a very weird thought to have running around

There is no place for doubt, sadness and fear in the

Portrait
The Bella Vista
by Matt Sweetwood
Matt Sweetwood – a Midwestern American in Germany
– takes a humorous outside look at his complex
new neighbours from a perspective he loves most but
he knows the least about: beer. He believes that solving
the mystery of the German beer culture may be the
key to understanding German contradictions, misleading stereotypes, and insider drinking knowledge that
Germans seem to share only among themselves. Germany
is overrun with more beer styles, beer breweries, beers
festivals, and beer history than Americans ever knew
possible. Matt must learn to embrace people whose thick
dialects he can hardly understand, and travel to parts
of Germany far off the tourist path, light years from the
famous Oktoberfest. Paving his own personal beer trail,
he soon discovers a new side of Germany that is equally
puzzling. This small country, divided by thousands
of different traditions, rules and emotions, is seemingly
tied together by beer. Finally, he finds his Germany,
a place he called Beerland. It is a country filled with hundred heart-felt traditions and countless ways to enjoy
beer. A home to German cosiness and cheesy folk songs,
where friends are waiting to be discovered and world’s
problems are easily solved.

Benghazi:
Beyond
The Front Line
Bells of Happiness
Mariena and Roman are cousins. They share one passion
which has little to do with their everyday life – admiration of singer stars Karel Gott and Dara Rolins.
They collect and exchange newspaper clips from
tabloids, they rehearse together songs from the repertoire of their idols and borrow their identities under
which they are known by their relatives and neighbours.
In spite of all expectations, Mariena is Karel and Roman
is Darinka (i.e. the girl is the male singer and the boy
is the female singer). One day, they decide that they will
sing their favourite hit ‘Zvonky šťastia’ and they will
send it to Karel and Dara with their own video-clip on
the DVD. For this project, they are accompanied by
documentarists Marek Šulík and Jana Bučka. Thus, there
arises a mutual play in which roles of protagonists and
film-makers are exchanged, but also those of media stars
and simple people from socially weaker classes.

On February 17th of 2011, the first images of the Libyan
civil upheaval travelled across the world. After 42
years under Gaddafi’s rule, the international community
stood in awe at a country profoundly divided. On the
one hand there were those loyal to the Regime and on the
other an improvised and inexperienced opposition.
The conflict escalated as protesters turned into armed
rebels, confronting the Dictator’s army. But beyond
the front line laid the most fascinating face of the Arab
awakening. During an entire year the filmmakers
portrayed the struggle of five civilian leaders that headed a different resistance: one of ideas. Among them are
Libyan journalists whose colleagues were killed during
the early days of the revolution; long-time political
prisoners that saw freedom within their grasp. Courageous women that took to the streets in support for
the rebels also became characters in our journey. Artists
that challenged censorship and became the voice of
the revolution. Through intimate portraits the film explores the contradictions that coexist in the Libyans longing for justice and freedom. The moving stories allow
us to travel across a society where uncertainty governs the
future and hope promises peace.

Between Two-Spirit
Better This World
by Kelly Duane de la Vega, Katie Galloway
The story of Bradley Crowder and David McKay, who
were accused of intending to firebomb the 2008
Republican National Convention, is a dramatic tale of
idealism, loyalty, crime and betrayal. Better This World
follows the radicalization of these boyhood friends from
Midland, Texas, under the tutelage of revolutionary
activist Brandon Darby. The results: eight homemade
bombs, multiple domestic terrorism charges and a
high-stakes entrapment defence hinging on the actions
of a controversial FBI informant. Better This World goes
to the heart of the war on terror and its impact on civil
liberties and political dissent in post-9 / 11 America.

Big Boys Gone

by Daniel Abma
A movie about life after serving time in jail. This documentary tells the story about three delinquent
adolescents Imo (22), Jano (17) and Marcel (25) three
years after the day of their release from prison in
Wriezen (Brandenburg, Germany). We see children
being born, furniture torn to pieces, driving lessons
on a pig-farm and drug deals on Berlin-Alexanderplatz.
Beyond Wriezen (AT) observes life through the perspective of the adolescents, and shows their hopes, pride,
thoughts and fears.

What is a big corporation capable of in order to protect
its brand ? Swedish filmmaker Fredrik Gertten’s
experienced this recently. His previous film Bananas !*
(2009) recounts the lawsuit that 12 Nicaraguan
plantation workers brought against the fruit giant Dole
Food Company. The film was selected for competition
by the Los Angeles Film Festival. Nothing wrong so
far, right ? But then Gertten gets a strange message: the
festival removes Bananas !* from competition. Then,
a scathing article appears in the Los Angeles Business
Journal about the film, and Gertten subsequently
receives a letter from Dole’s attorney threatening him
with legal action. What follows is an unparalleled
thriller that has Gertten capturing the entire process –
from DOLE attacking the producers with a defamation
lawsuit, bullying scare tactics, to media-control
and PR-spin. This personal film reveals precisely how
a multinational will stop at nothing to get its way – freedom of speech is at stake. As Dole’s PR company puts
it, ‘It is easier to cope with a bad conscience than a bad
reputation.’

Bitter Seeds

New York’s Central Park acts as a beacon to travel weary
feathered fliers throughout the year. Dozens of different
birds, and their calls, make an appearance here as
the seasons cycle through. Bird numbers everywhere may
be declining, but to anyone with binoculars, in Central
Park the little fliers are still the best thing going. ‘Birders’,
a colourful documentary about birds and birders
in New York’s Central Park is a delight for everyone. Bird
watchers will find affirmation and even explanation for
their vocation. People who can’t tell a sparrow from a lark
will just wonder at the sheer beauty of it all.

Every 30 minutes, a farmer in India kills himself in
despair because he can no longer provide for his family.
How is it that a hardworking farmer and father arrives
at a point in life where the most sensible course of
action is to kill himself by drinking a bottle of pesticide ?
It all makes horrible sense once you understand the
forces at work: the tragic intersection of genetically
modified agriculture, the global economy and a traditional
culture. Micha Peled’s vivid, rich and deep new documentary Bitter Seeds takes us to an Indian village at the
centre of the suicide crisis region. It follows Ram Krishna,
a cotton farmer and his family over a season as they
struggle to hold on to their land. It’s also the story of the
neighbours’ daughter, Manjusha, who is determined
to overcome village traditions and become a journalist.
Ram Krishna’s plight becomes her first assignment.
Bitter Seeds raises critical questions about the human cost
of genetically modified agriculture and the future of
how we grow things. This is the third film in Micha
Peled’s globalization trilogy, following the award-winning
Store Wars: When Wal Mart Comes to Town and ‘China Blue’.

The Blockade
by Susann Reck
Blender is an autobiographical, inspired documentary
film. In the 70s, my parents founded a mental hospital
on top of a mountain in the German alps called
Blender. Until today my siblings are working there and
I´m the only one who left the place. The film Blender
is about six inhabitants of the hospital, Friedlieb, Julius,
Marie, Lars, Herr Kraus and Herr Stuhler. Four of
them had to leave the place during the film. The reasons
are typical for patients in mental hospitals: it´s about
alcohol, death, multiple personalities and violence. The
film tells the stories of my protagonists in a light way
showing an apparently idyllic place, that changes more
and more into sadness and drama. Their leaving is
also the main connection to my childhood, where people
were coming and going all the time and I didn´t know
at all what was going on. The protagonists of my film are
appealingly direct and undisguised, though they never
lose dignity. All of them are fully aware of their situations and act with their own internal logic. For the main
part Blender is not about being foolish or different. The
film unfolds multifaceted forms of human existences, all
condemned to be lonely in life.

The Blockade is a unique view from within on the most
massive, longest and politically most significant student
protest in the country, since 1971, that started in April
of 2009 at the Faculty of humanities and Social Sciences
in Zagreb. The struggle against the commercialization
of education and the blockade of teaching classes lasted
for 34 days. The rebellion spread onto more than 20
faculties across the country and the students became an
active and relevant political subject. The director
followed everything: from the exhilarating preparation
meetings and blocking of classes to the first signs of
exhaustion, through personal situations and discussions
late at night, from the initial support of most faculty
members to the moment they turned their back to
the movement and the attempt to reach the missing minister of education. This film shows that the blockade was
not just physical and that it has a much broader meaning.

They encounter fishermen, farmers, military personnel,

that reveals how its almost scary obsession with security

A Catholic cemetery in Dresden, Germany. In the
middle of a meadow, a small grave. And at the foot of the
grey and weathered gravestone, waving in the wind,
a small American flag. The inscription chiselled into the
old stone reveals who was laid to his final rest here
in 1914: the Native American Edward Two-Two, a Sioux
chief. How did a Sioux Indian end up in a place like
Dresden so long ago ? And why was he buried there at
his own request, so far from his native lands and contrary
to all Indian traditions ? The film tries to find answers
by tracing the extraordinary life story of the Indian chief
Edward Two-Two at Pine Ridge Reservation in South
Dakota.

From the shadows of the majestic Pamir Mountains of
Tajikistan comes a story of Azam, a shepherd and
Buzkashi champion, who faces the pressures of modernization in the sport and in his own personal life.
Azam plays as an individual for honor and integrity, but
his success is increasingly thwarted by organized
alliances, or ‘mafias’, encouraged by his rival Khurshed,
a member of Tajikistan’s nouveau riche. Khurshed believes that team play is the future of the sport. Between
challenges on the field and within his own family, Azam
tries to find a place for himself in the new Tajikistan.

Shin Dong-Huyk was born November 19th 1983 as
a political prisoner in a North Korean re-education camp.
He was a child of two prisoners who have been married
by order of the wardens. He spent his entire childhood and youth in camp 14, in truth a death camp. Forced
labour since he was six years old, hunger, beatings
and torture. Always at the mercy of the wardens. He knew
nothing of the world outside the barbed-wire fences.
He thinks everybody is living that way. At the age of 23,
with the help of an older prisoner, he succeeds in
escaping. For months he journeys through North Korea
and China and finally to South Korea, where he encounters a world completely strange to him.

Captain
Thomas Sankara
by Andy Wolff
Imagine you are the captain of a container ship: You
get hijacked by Somali pirates. After three weeks,
suddenly, the pirates gather the hostages and say: ‘There
is no ransom offer from your shipping company. We
will execute you.’ The pirates drag you onto the deck;
push you on your knees. One of them aims his gun
at your head and shoots. The bullet hits the wall behind
you. Drenched in cold sweat you fall unconscious and
lie on the ship’s deck. Only a few weeks after his liberation
this very captain tells me: ‘The pirates’ boss was human.
There were times on board when he was the only
one to back me up. There were even moments when I
felt safe with him.’ The seizure of the Hansa Stavanger
is one of the most notorious cases in modern piracy
and the longest hostage taking at sea known in German
history. My documentary is about the complex relationship arising between culprit and victim under a death
threatening hostage situation. The film tells the intimate
story of the friendship between Captain Kotiuk and
the pirates Ahado in a drama lasting over four months.

On 4 August 1983, Thomas Sankara becomes the
president of Upper Volta after a coup d’état. A year later,
he definitively creates a turning point in the history
and identity of his country, renaming it Burkina Faso,
literally ‘Land of Upright Men’. He brings enormous
hope to a great portion of African youth far beyond the
boundaries of his country. By conducting a ‘democratic
and popular’ revolution, he brings more progress to
the people during the four years of his presidency than
during half a century of French colonial rule. Blending
together rare and meticulously assembled archives,
director Christophe Cupelin offers a panoramic vision
of the intellectual and political inheritance of this
atypical head of state. Giving his documentary the energy of a punk manifesto, between idealism and irony, he
faithfully restitutes the originality of a president as
striking in his action as in his words. In 2012, twenty five
years after his tragic and still not officially elucidated
death, the film offers an opportunity to see and listen to
the voice of one of the most important African leaders
of the 20th century.

The Carbon Rush
by Amy Miller
Who has not seen a recent request to offset carbon
pollution but who knows what this all means …
An up-close look at the insidious tango between government and big polluters and investigates whether or
not carbon offsets are distracting us from what’s really
required to tackle the climate crisis. We learn that
the carbon market does little if anything to reduce
greenhouse gases and that these offset projects are
nothing more than schemes that provide false solutions.
To date, there has been over three hundred billion
dollars of carbon transactions worldwide. Instead of
focusing resources to move away from a fossil fuel
economy, massive international trading ventures have
been established as the solution.

No other part of the world boasts as many castles and
palaces as Europe. Kings and Princes built their palaces
and summer residences in the most beautiful and
strategically located spots. In the miniseries Castles and
Palaces of Europe. Following in the footsteps of Kings we
introduce individuals who walk the tightrope between
tradition and modern-day reality by living and working in castles, châteaux and palaces or in their immediate
vicinity. They will open doors that are normally closed
to the outside world and reveal captivating stories.
European history, regional traditions and ancient legends will come alive as we meet people who spend much
of their time within the ancient walls of these ‘stone
giants’ or have fallen under their spell at some point in
their lives.‘Castles and Palaces of Europe’ is a miniseries
of 5 films. Each episode present three castles or other
royal residences of a specific European region along with
special features of their surroundings. A breath-taking
aerial view leads us through the Loire Valley in
France, to southern Germany, the southeast of England,
the Piedmont in Italy and along Portugal’s coast.

by Ellie Land
Over the past decade, female genital cosmetic surgery
has increased by a staggering 500%. Centrefold is a
unique animated documentary that takes an innovative
and balanced approach to this controversial topic.
Created by award winning filmmaker Ellie Land and
funded by the Wellcome Trust, the film follows three
women, aged 24–41 through their different experiences
of labiaplasty (surgery to trim or remove the labia).
‘My labia was long, dark, stretchy, shriveled up and I was
quite embarrassed about it. I’ve never thought that
my genital area and labia was normal’ (Anonymous – explaining her reasons for having a labiaplasty). By documenting what is involved in the procedure and its
varying outcomes, the film seeks to offer a non-judgemental view of labia surgery and to encourage informed
discussion: Is labiaplasty anti-female ‘pornification’,
or an empowering personal choice ? Centrefold provides
the facts. You decide.

This documentary deals with faith, human aging,
a struggle to fulfil your vision and above all – one
particular building. In its poetical minimalism the film
observes the construction of the new Latvian National
Library, which has become a metaphor for a temple,
a boiling-point for an entire nation. From an empty
construction pit to the accomplished edifice, this visual
symphony of cinematic images captures the whole
process of creation. Besides two human characters, the
chief architect and a jib crane operator are chosen
to reveal the eternal conflict between the greatness of
a conception and the inevitable sacrifice to realize it.

Chronicles
of the Last Temple
by Pierre Morath
Over the course of two and a half years, the man did not
move from the couch of his Geneva apartment. For
two and a half years, his neighbours and friends thought
he was gone or in convalescence. His letterbox was
full, his post returned. Electricity had eventually been
cut off and the real estate agency was about to evict.
When, finally, the police forced the door, they discovered
a flat infested by vermin and in the middle, the decomposed body of Michel Christen, a 53 years-old Swiss
man, well known in the neighbourhood. Of him only
remained bones, hair and teeth. The investigation held
in the film shows that his death dates back 28 months.
But the date on the death certificate is the one of the day
the body was found. This is the regulation … How
could this man, who had a family and who was followedup by medical and social services, fall into oblivion in
such a way ?

This documentary-film aims to tell the unknown
side of the story about the migrations of who escaped
from Libya during the war in 2011. Many of these
migrants in fact, had been previously pushed back by
Italy as a result of an agreement signed by Berlusconi
and Gaddafi in 2009. We met them in Shousha refugee
camp at the border between Libya and Tunisia, and
in two reception camps for asylum seekers (C.A.R.A.) in
southern Italy. They described what actually happened
on the boats and what happened after their deportation
to Libya. Their interviews constitute the main part
of the documentary, along with a session of the European
Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, where one of
our witnesses sued Italy.

The southern foot of the mountains in Lop Nur in
western China is rich in asbestos. The workers
are making dusts while exploiting the asbestos. From
far away, it looks like a cloud-making machine, puffing clouds into the air. The usage of big machines
increased the asbestos mining capacity but the lack of
relevant environmental protection facilities leads to
a large amount of dust blotting out the sun. No matter
inside or outside, workers only use scarves or masks
to protect themselves. But actually, these textile
products are easily susceptible to dust. The workers are
suffering from the environmental pollution. Though
people working in such a harsh environment live a
hard and isolated life, they do not lose their joy of living,
because they have found a way to make money, which
gives them hope. However, they don’t really know
or care about what consequences the environment here
can bring to them. The movie describes the living
state of a 17-year-old guy, who is stubborn, diligent, and
naughty, his father, who experiences various hardships but is happy and likes kidding and various workers
around them.

The short documentary Now ! (1965) of Santiago Alvarez
on the struggle for civil rights of black people in the
U. S. is a document of a revolutionary movement, which
began with one specific desire: equality of human
beings. It grew, inspirited people and finally took over.
It was an essential initiating part of the ’68 revolt. Today,
the rate of pictures in which you can see the ultimate
ratio of governmental power is increasing once again. For
this reason, the remake shows nearly equal pictures of
the latest liberation movements and inhumanity worldwide. It is trying to translate the original message into
current times. Where are the similarities, where are the
differences ? Are we in a revolutionary situation today ?

An African Bayreuth ? An Opera in Africa ? Christoph
Schlingensief, the German film, theatre and opera
director had a vision for an opera village in Africa.
Despite cancer, he made regular trips to Burkina Faso,
such was his devotion and conviction. Crackle of Time
tells the story of an impossible project: To build an opera
village in Burkina Faso, a space combining art and life,
with a school, theatre, hospital and living quarters. From
the initial location search in May 2009, to the official
opening of the school in October 2011, the documentary
takes us up close to the man and his architect Francis
Kéré. We get behind their vision and witness the
struggles and hurdles to get the ‘opera village’ off the
ground. Christoph Schlingensief died in August 2010.
But his dream lives on. Last year Christoph Schlingensief
was posthumously awarded the Golden Lion at
the Venice Biennale for his stage installation, ‘fluxus
oratorium – church of fear’ in the German pavilion.

Crimson Mask is a feature length documentary that
follows German ‘Ultra Violence Wrestler’ Thumbtack
Jack a.k.a. Alexander Bedranowsky in and outside
of the wrestling ring. It is more than just a review of this
unique athlete’s career but an honest and surprising
portrait of this seemingly insane and brutal character
that is Thumbtack Jack, who mutilates himself and his
opponents with barbed wire, thumbtacks, glass, syringes
and even fire. Crimson Mask shows the man on the
other side. From his career high touring the United States
of America, over the feud with his arch enemy, Drake
Younger to his very last ‘Death Match’ against his long
time friend and mentor ‘Hate’, the filmmaker Marco
Eisenbarth never leaves Thumbtack Jack’s side.
But then an incident occurs that will change Alexander
Bedranowsky’s life forever …

In Havana, illegal dealings with gambling, prostitution,
drug dealing, protection racketeering and moneylaundering flourish whilst the Cuban people are increasingly exploited and sinking into poverty. The Mafia
is also supported by its numerous contacts to corrupt
U. S.-American politicians, intelligence services
and industrialists. While these groups are working
on Havana to become the Mafia’s capital city in the
world, the rebels around Fidel Castro and Che Guevara
land on the island’s east coast in December 1956.
The poverty stricken people start to support them in
short order and thus the rebels soon manage to gain
victories against Batista’s army. And despite the Mafia,
the U. S. intelligence services, the industrialists,
bankers and their supporters continue their doings in
Havana throughout 1958 as the revolutionists come
into power in early 1959 and put an end to the criminal
dealings.

Cult Witness
At the age of 19 Samuel Stefan, consumed by crisis, was
drawn into a cult. It would be 10 years before he was
able to escape. Using a technique called ‘love-bombing’,
cults prey on the vulnerable, recruiting new members
with love and warmth. After a period of brain-washing,
members are forbidden to leave, enslaved through
psychological control, and in Samuel’s case, even violence. He was finally able to escape in the dead of night,
pursued by other members and seeking help. Cult
Witness is an intelligent exploration of how cults attract
and manipulate their followers, sharing the disturbing firsthand experiences of Cult Witness director
Samuel Stefan and six others who have freed themselves
from cults. Analytical insights into the cult experience
are provided by leadership expert Betty Sue Flowers;
Benjamin Zablocki, chair of the Department of Sociology
at Rutgers University; UCLA Professor Emeritus
Bertram Raven, an expert on interpersonal influence
and social power relationships; psychotherapist Miguel
Perlado, who specializes in cult-related problems;
and Urs Eschmann, a specialist in legal issues involving

Asmaa’ Kaftaro, the granddaughter of a former Mufti
of Syria, says ‘I wasn’t aware what marriage is when I got
married at the age of 16. When one of my girls menstruates, I celebrate the event … a full-blown celebration,
and I think that would alleviate her anxiety’. Lina
Chachati, a Christian 48 year-old lady and a daughter
of a well-known liberal family that owns one of the
biggest libraries in Syria, says ‘I still don’t know my body
that well’. Questions and answers take us into the
close and personal details of how two outstanding women
and the filmmaker understand their relationship with
their bodies and the society. Thoughts and feelings – what
it means to be a woman in Syria.

Dancing Alone
by Katrine Philp
In Denmark, the dance halls are bursting with dancers
of high international standards. It is all about getting
the right partner, when you want to go to the top. But in
a small country like Denmark, this is not always as
easy as it sounds. Mie (14) is an elite dancer. When her
partner stops, the family decides to search for a new
one abroad. Russian Egor (15) finds out that his mother
has set up a tryout for him, and if it turns out well,
Egor will stay with Mie in Denmark. Since May 2011 he
has lived with Mie and her parents in Denmark. All
eyes are on the young couple, the pressure is on and they
are expected to make it to the top. Dance for Me is a
film about a vulnerable young male dancer that has left
everything behind for a new life in a totally strange
family and completely different culture. With sensitivity
and insight director Katrine Philp unravels the story
with poetry and aesthetics. Dance for Me is a modern tale
of migration and pursuit of success and it questions
what you are willing to sacrifice to create the life you want.
As this film is part of the DOK.Incubator workshop 2012
and still in post-production, DOK Market presents only a trailer.

Mother and daughter cross Chile in search of a relative
they both don’t know. The mother hopes to find her
sister while the daughter expects to find her real father.
Along a 2,000 km road, they will be forced to confront
their childhood expectations with a present which may
prove to be even more uncertain and hostile than the
fantasies involved in building their identities. Daughter
is a journey where lies become reality and where the
reality takes the shape of a film: that of a documentary

Karadzic
by Jeanie Dizon
Manila North Cemetery in the Philippines is a place of
rest for 3,000 people, all of whom are alive. When
rich families first erected mausoleums for their dead in
the 1800s, they needed caretakers to maintain them
and guard any valuables buried within. In exchange for
their work, the caretakers were allowed to live inside the
mausoleums, and a cemetery community was born.
Grave keepers grow gardens around tombs; chefs cook
up hearty fare in pop-up restaurants alongside crypts;
and children play basketball in between school and
funerals. Manila North Cemetery has become a home to
those without a home. But the graveyard is not always
peaceful. One caretaker must face the task of burying
his own relative in the cemetery, and another – only
13 years old – must undergo an exorcism lest forever be
possessed by the spirits he disturbed. Yet in a place
where exhumations, ghosts, and witch doctors are part
of daily routine, the biggest dangers residents face are
universal to the human experience.

How can you defend someone like Radovan Karadzic ?
As one of the key members of his defence team, Marko is
very much used to that question, but for him, each
accused is innocent until proven guilty and the defence
is an integral part of the judicial process. As a Serb
who spent his youth protesting against the nationalist
politics of his leaders, Marko knows that these trials
can help his people come to terms with what was done
in their name, but he also knows they can only do that if
they are impeccably fair. Following Marko over the
length of the trial, the film is detailing his struggles both
externally and internally. How do you fight against
the financial and political pressures on The Court ?
How do you go against the media’s one-sided view of the
conflict ? Is it possible to establish a truth that everybody agrees on ? Are you really helping with the reconciliation or are you making things worse ? Are you
getting too close to the accused ? What is your job doing
to your relationships with friends and family ? Ultimately,
the film asks the question: ‘What does it do to a man
to defend evil ?’

Disease of the
Third Power
by Marco Gastine
The 6th of May parliamentary election in Greece, held
in the context of an unprecedented economic, social
and moral crisis was an historical moment for Greece, a
challenge for democracy. The campaign was a great
opportunity to look very closely at Greek politics, largely
responsible for the current situation of the country.
Following the steps of candidates that tried to re-establish
their contact with their voters was a unique opportunity to explore the current situation of a society deeply
touched by the crisis. Through this everyday portrait
of the practice of ‘public affairs’, we tried to raise the question of ‘living together’, so crucial today in the country
that invented democracy. We followed the campaign of
four candidates to parliament; belonging to four
different parties that played a leading role in the election;
having four different answers to the crucial dilemma
that divides the country; being at four different steps
in their political career; representing four different ways
to do politics and, last but not least, being four very
different persons, interesting enough to be the heroes of
a character-driven documentary film.

Inta is a bruesque, crusty woman who lives alone on the
edge of a picturesque marsh. One day her solitude
is intruded upon by the arrival of a documentary filmmaker. In his eyes Inta is an outstanding would-be
film protagonist but the wild woman would rather put a
curse on the importunate intruder than let herself
be filmed. But the filmmaker’s persistance finally succeeds
in melting the ice of Inta’s heart … just in order to break
it soon afterwards.

In 2010, the last sardine-canning factory in the United
States – the Stinson / Bumble Bee Seafood cannery
in Prospect Harbor, Maine – closed its doors, devastating
the already economically depressed area and laying
off 130 workers, some of whom had worked at the facility
for 40 years or more. Enter Antonio Bussone, an Italian
immigrant and owner of a Boston-based seafood
company, who decides to buy the factory and convert it
into a lobster-processing facility. Where others see
the end of an era, Antonio sees opportunity: not only to
build a new business, but also to bring exported jobs
back to New England and revitalize a region. In a time
when most U. S. industries have moved offshore,
Antonio’s idea seems almost foolhardy, but it galvanizes
the community and makes him into a local hero to
some and a nemesis to others. Still, Antonio will have
to overcome small-town politics, bank hurdles, and
overwhelming financial odds to see his dream to fruition.

Drawing for
Memory
by Andy Glynne
by Dragan von Petrovic, Lena Müller
In this tragicomical documentary set between WestBerlin and former Yugoslavia, the young cameraman
Vuk from Belgrade embarks on the trail of his eccentric
uncle Dragan Wende who, 30 years earlier became
the street king of West-Berlin’s 1970s hedonistic disco
scene. Thanks to his Yugoslav passport, he could
easily pass from West- to East-Berlin and profited from
the Wall like few others. But in 1989, the Wall fell.
Suddenly it was open to everyone and everything
changed. 20 years later, Vuk’s uncle is an aged alcoholic
who lives off social welfare and memories of his youth.
He has not set foot in East Berlin ever since and seldom
leaves his surreal West-Berlin. Vuk and his camera
discover and confront his uncle’s bizarre and tragicomic
world of veteran Yugo-immigrants, fallen millionaires
and post-Wall-losers. We observe the survival strategies
of a group of immigrants who once had it easy and
who cannot help but wish for a return of The Wall – the
Fall of which is held responsible for their financial
hardship. Seen through his nephew’s eyes, a microcosm
of underdogs and their survival strategies unfolds in
this family tale about the ‘Losers of Change’ in a stilldivided city.

Drivers Wanted
by Falk Schuster
A hedgehog and a bird run into each other, become
friends and help each other with their problems.
FILM ID
Drivers Wanted reveals the impossibly eclectic community inhabiting NYC’s most famous taxi garage. Located
directly across from the UN, the garage is a refugee
camp in the heart of NY, where drivers come for protection from human rights abuses, racism and economic
instability. The film follows Eric, a new immigrant from
China who left because of his country’s one child policy.
With dreams of his own business, and a wife and two
young sons to support, he turns to a simple job: driving
a taxicab. But the easy route proves to be a Herculean
struggle for Eric, who can neither speak the language of
his customers nor navigate the city’s 6,174 miles of
streets. Along for Eric’s ride, we meet classic New York
personalities, including the city’s oldest taxi driver, the
rumoured inspiration behind Danny DeVito’s Louie
DePalma, and a melting pot of immigrants with dreams
of making it in America. Each day, a million New Yorkers
depend on the anonymous faces behind the wheels,
the men who tirelessly drive the city that doesn’t sleep.
Drivers Wanted takes the viewer into the taxi seat to
experience accidents, blizzards, and the late night streets
of New York.

Through the story of an Afghan asylum seeker who won
a historic victory at the European Court of Human
Rights, this film shines a new light on the consequences
of migration policies in the crisis-affected country of
Greece. Dublin’s Trap gives an equal voice to politicians,
intellectuals, activists, immigrants and extremists.
This approach highlights how austerity measures, combined with an unprecedented influx of immigrants,
foster racial tensions, increased nationalism, and a humanitarian crisis at Europe’s external borders. Further
aggravating the situation is an uneven EU repatriation
mechanism known as Dublin II.

Duck Beach To
Eternity
Every Memorial Day weekend, nearly a thousand
Mormon singles flock to Duck Beach, N. C., for a spring
break gathering. They assemble in rental houses
and host parties (without alcohol), hook up (without
sex), and strut their stuff for three days on the beach.
The weekend has been referred to in the media
as, variously, the ‘Mormon Jersey Shore’ and ‘Mormon
Singles Gone Mild.’ Duck Beach To Eternity follows
four singles in their 20s and 30s who are all feeling the
pressure of finding the right person. After all, at
their age, according to Mormon culture, they should
have been married years ago. The film explores the
many distinctive aspects of Mormon single life – primarily the paramount pursuit of an eternal companion
to fulfill their purpose on earth. The filmmakers handle
the topic gracefully and treat their subjects respectfully, with compelling and entertaining results. Duck
Beach To Eternity deals with the complexities, contradictions, struggles, and confusion that are a part of being
a single person of faith in modern America.

for their plywood and fibreglass furniture, they also created a bewildering variety of other products, from
splints for wounded military, to photography, interiors,

The ultimate documentary about Eames, it draws from

Emperor’s Toys
Earth
There are places where the Second World War has not
been finished yet. On the former battlefields, which
are now covered with woods, thousands of soviet soldiers
lie unburied. Every year some volunteers come here
to search for these human remains. They do that so that
they can bury them properly. To dig out bones just
in order to bury them again, this apparently absurd cycle
opens a new sense. The earth not only reveals the past
as the forest ghosts are rising from archive footage like
spirits of those soldiers killed seventy years ago; it
is transforming it to the future as teenagers, who have
been brought here by their parents, face death for
the first time in their lives and yet they start playing war
on the spot. The film is an elegy which one more time
reminds us about the frailty of human existence.

A man performs his usual trip to work, immersed in a
world where the use of people is an everyday thing.
FILM ID
In 2008 the world experienced financial turmoil.
Markets around the world crashed, stock prices plummeted, and major financial institutions, once thought to
be invincible, collapsed. Governments responded
quickly, issuing massive bailouts and stimulus packages
in an effort to keep the world economy afloat. Although
we’ve been told that these drastic measures prevented a total collapse of our system, a growing sense of
unease still pervades. What lies ahead as a result of
these bold money printing measures ? Was the financial
crisis solved or were the problems merely kicked
down the road ? End of The Road asks eleven influential
commentators within the finance and investment communities to share their knowledge regarding where
we are. Through each of their narratives, a story is built
which chronicles the current economic dilemma
and paints a gloomy picture of our likely financial future.

Entangled
by Peter Mettler
Working at the limits of what can easily be expressed,
filmmaker Peter Mettler takes on the elusive subject
of time, and once again turns his camera to filming the
unfilmable. From the particle accelerator in Switzerland, where scientists seek to probe regions of time we
cannot see, to lava flows in Hawaii which have overwhelmed all but one home on the south side of Big Island;
from the disintegration of inner city Detroit, to a
Hindu funeral rite near the place of Buddha’s enlightenment, Mettler explores our perception of time.
He dares to dream the movie of the future while also
immersing us in the wonder of the everyday. The
End of Time, at once personal, rigorous and visionary,
Peter Mettler has crafted a film as compelling and
magnificent as its subject.

The definition of the perpetrator and the victim is
crystal clear in paedophilia cases. This unambiguous
relationship may, however, become upset after
some time. As a child, the film character was abused by
his neighbour. Later, as a teenager, he tried to take
revenge on him twice. The roles are now reversed: the
paedophile is afraid of his victim. This mutual
dependence, which lasted ten years, is presented from
the perspective of the closest persons to both men.
The story based on hatred and fear seems to have no end.

An account on how the ideal country for a family life
and a peaceful existence might turn into a nightmare
one day due to overprotective social policies. It is a
hidden-camera investigation report on how desperate
parents attempt to get back their beloved 9-year-old
daughter. 9-year-old Nikola and her parents arrived to
Norway five years ago. On 18th June, the girl has
been unexpectedly taken away from her parents by the
Norwegian authorities on grounds of realization that
Nikola ‘has been in a sad mood at school.’ The Norwegian
officials did not investigate the reasons of sadness nor
talked to parents, before placing the child in a Norwegian
foster family, where the girl had been supposed to
await a future adoption. Desperate father hired Krzysztof
Rutkowski – the Polish private detective, to help him
to regain the girl. The film shows an attempt to rescue the
child, through planning stages to the action of taking
away Nikola back to her parents.

During the Algerian revolution, my great-uncle joined
his sister in France and integrated a secret NLF (National Liberation Front) armed group. Settling of scores,
attempted murder, hiding, imprisonment and finally
expulsion in 1962, his personal journey tells the story
of countless ex-fighters for Algerian independence, and
echoes the current effervescence of the Arab World.
Today, at the age of seventy, El Hadi reveals this dark
part of his life. We are following the itinerary of El Hadi
during the Algerian Revolution. By his words and the
discussions with people he meets, we discover his story
on the different given localities of his acts, in Algeria
and France. A dialogue between his personal story and
the official history is being created.

Fists Of Pride
by Dylan Mohan Gray
An intricate tale of ‘monopoly, medicine and mass
murder’, Fire in the Blood is the story of how Western
pharmaceutical companies and governments
blocked access to low-cost AIDS drugs for the countries
of the global south during the 2000’s – causing ten
million or more unnecessary deaths – and the
improbable group of people who decided to fight back.
Shot on four continents and including contributions
from global figures such as Bill Clinton, Desmond Tutu
and Joseph Stiglitz, here is the important, neverbefore-told story of the unlikely alliance which came
together to stop ‘the crime of the century’ and
save millions of lives in the process.

‘Thai children have more money. Burmese children have
no money. They are rich. We are poor. That’s all.’
This is how 13-year-old Pho Kyaw ‘Panda’ sees the world
while training to challenge a Thai boxer at the annual
Water Festival along the Burmese-Thai border. If he
wins, his family receives prize money from bets placed
by his coaches. Losing isn’t an option. For sons of
migrant workers, the Thai boxing camp is their best
hope to escape the dangerous and impoverished life that
otherwise awaits them. The boys’ militaristic training
regime and their daily routines reveal their courage and
fear as they face the ring. The coaches provide another
fascinating layer, as their gambling success determines
the boys’ well-being. The film is a powerful allegory
for a cultural and political battle that continues to be
waged, through the eyes of children who inherited
a bruised and battered history.

An intimate and beautifully told love story between
one of Scandinavia’s most highly regarded modern
painters, Lars Lerin and a young Brazilian dancer,
Manoel Marques (Junior). Two men with a dark past and
from two completely different worlds, desperately
searching for true love. They get in touch on Skype and
can’t communicate in any language, yet they decide
to meet and find out if they can fall in love. This is the
beginning of an unpredictable love story, humorous and
warm but with dark undertones of domination and
control. About how hard it can be to fall in love again
after years of alcoholism, drug abuse and a broken heart.
And to show even your most dark sides and sometimes
be brutally honest about your doubts and fear. We closely
follow their struggle for a happy existence and their
search for a life where someone loves you – regardless of
how vastly difficult it can be to love one self. The film
received a Dragon Award at Gothenburg International
Film Festival 2012 for Best Swedish Documentary.

Forget me not
by Barbara Miller
Their voices are suppressed, prohibited and censored.
But Yoani Sánchez, Zeng Jinyan and Farnaz Seifi are
not frightened of their dictatorial regimes. These fearless
women stand for a new, networked generation of
modern rebels. In Cuba, China and Iran their blogs
shake the foundations of the state information
monopoly – thereby putting their lives at risk. Barbara
Miller’s film Forbidden Voices accompanies these
modern young rebels on their dangerous journey and
traces their use of social medias like Facebook, Youtube
and Twitter to denounce and combat the maladministration in their countries – thereby triggering international resonance by building up enormous political
pressure. ‘TIME’ counts them among the world’s most
influential voices. Based on their moving eyewitness
reports and clandestine photography, Forbidden Voices
pays homage to their courageous battle.

Filmmaker David Sieveking introduces us with
astonishing candour to the life of his mother Gretel, an
Alzheimer’s patient. His father Malte has been taking
care of Gretel ever since he retired. The still youthful
mathematics professor had imagined life after university
a little differently, because it takes a lot of strength
and time to care constantly for a person who forgets
everything. She wants to go home even though she
is at home. She refuses to co-operate and prefers to stay
in bed. The son moves back home for a few weeks
with a small film crew to relieve his father and document
daily life with a dementia patient from up close.
Sieveking uses the chance to get closer to his mother
again. The more Gretel takes her leave from this
world, the more Sieveking finds out about her and her
past. Leftist revolutionary circles, an ‘open relationship’,
women’s circles. Malte decides to read his wife’s
diaries. The son talks to his father, his mother’s lover and
her female friends. A biography gradually takes shape.
This quiet, touching film is a declaration of love for
a mother and a family, but also a gradual farewell from
a woman who may still be physically present but has long
since become a different person.

The Four Year Plan
by Martin Duckworth, Ian McLaren
Fouad Sahyoun was born to an Arab-Christian family
in Haifa in 1943. His family was forced to leave in 1948,
when he was four years old. Fouad has ‘made it’ in his
adopted country: Canada. But Fouad wants to go back to
Haifa and re-establish himself in the city of his birth.
He remembers the city as a jewel of Muslim-JewishChristian multi-faith and multi-ethnic harmony, before
1948. However, his dream to establish business and
cultural links between his world and Haifa, is fraught
with difficulties – familial as well as political. But
he believes that entrepreneurship can succeed where
diplomacy and war have failed.

The Gang
by Susanne Brandstätter
Using the Khmer Rouge Tribunal as a starting point,
award-winning filmmaker Susanne Brandstätter
takes a deeper look into the lives of young people on the
brink of adulthood. As the trial accusing a perpetrat
or of the Pol Pot regime progresses, it becomes a catalyst
for a new generation of Cambodians questioning their
parents, families and neighbours about the inhumanities their nation has suffered. Brandstätter accompanies
three families on two different continents – two
Cambodian families and an immigrated Cambodian
family in Paris, France – recognizing that the truth
is only to be found among those who survived and that
the past can best be questioned by those who are
about to build a future.

army, picked up his sax and exiled himself to London,
declaring himself an enemy of the Israeli state.
Since then he has produced some of the modern era’s
greatest Jazz albums. The film follows Gilad in the most
flourishing time of his career as he records with the
Blockheads, gigs with Nigel Kennedy, and appears on
TV programs and panel events all over the globe.
At the same time he antagonises his critics to the point
of receiving death threats. Gilad and All That Jazz
offers insight into the life, ideas, music and motivations
driving the great Saxophonist.

As soon as filmmaker Eva Stotz found out about the
Couchsurfing network, she had to know more. What was
this online community providing; a free place to sleep
anywhere in the world, a chance look in on the lives of
complete strangers and an opportunity to reach out
beyond the internet after only a few emails ? Eva packed
her camera and set off on her travels. How does a
Tuareg man in Mali use new media ? What took a British
environmental activist to the West Bank and what is a
Brazilian dancer doing out in provincial Turkey ? How is
a Japanese teacher helping kids in Tokyo to discover
their natural surroundings ? And who is this person in
San Francisco who started up Couchsurfing ?
Global Home tells the fascinating stories of those who
see globalization and the internet as an opportunity
to meaningfully connect and interact more with others.
Eva Stotz takes us along on her journey and shows us
that the rest of the world is not as different as we imagine.

The Great
Book Robbery
Going Up The Stairs
by Rokhsareh Ghaemmmaghami
A warm, revealing and often surprisingly funny portrait
of an unlikely artist shows us that true talent will
refuse to be stifled and you don’t need an education to
channel your emotions into art. Akram is an illiterate,
50-year-old Iranian woman who became a painter
unexpectedly and created an explosion of powerful,
primitive and colourful paintings, which she hid
under a carpet from possibly disapproving eyes. When
she tells her Western educated children about her
work, they arrange for her to have an exhibition in far-off
Paris. The only hitch in this plan is that Akram must
obtain permission from her husband – who she married
when she was 8 and he was in his 30s – in order to
attend. Their comfortable bickering covers up Akram’s
frustrations and fears that her chance for recognition
of her magical talent lays completely in the hands of this
conservative and traditional Iranian man.

Chronicles of a cultural destruction: the story of
70,000 Palestinian books that were looted by the newly
created State of Israel in 1948. The film interweaves
various story lines in a structure that is dramatically
compelling and emotionally unsettling. The film’s
interviews center on eyewitness accounts and cultural
critiques that place the book plunder affair in a larger
historical-cultural context. The Great Book Robbery
sheds new light on the Palestinian tragedy of 1948, also
known as the Nakba (or ‘catastrophe’), when some
725,000 Palestinians were dispossessed to make way for
a Jewish-majority Israeli state. In the intervening years,
Israel has constructed a moralistic and heroic narrative
of the 1948 war. The film aims to deconstruct this
imperial history and to prevent this story from fading
into oblivion by passing it on to future generations.

The Gypsy Vote
by Dirk Heth, Olaf Winkler
A cameraman confesses: ‘I never doubted that I was
doing the right thing. After all, I loved what I did.
But now everything has changed and I wonder: How can
one be happy if your market value is zero ?’ Suddenly
confronted with the reality of his own vanishing market
value, the cameraman stumbles upon an extraordinary
vision which could transform society as we know
it today. A cinematic travelogue through five years in
Germany – a time capsule addressed to the cameraman’s
children to open one day as adults.

Vlado Sendrei and his team to win elections in
‘white’ Slovakia. What are the chances that Roma activist
Vlado Sendrei and his election team can succeed

American foundation, one experiences an
unbelievably lively campaign, tragicomical moments,
and a glimpse into Roma ghettoes at the edge of

activities are harmful to his family and Roma values,
increasing tensions between them. The Big Day – election day – turns original emotions on their head.
The new film by Jaro Vojtek renders a world of

Happy Serious Sad
by Marcelo Kiwi
Elisa and Benjamin have been married for over
50 years. Now retired and with their children living
outside of Chile, they have devoted all their love to
Emily, a sausage dog. The affection and love for this pet
has led them to do crazy and unbelievable things,
one of those is to celebrate the ‘Birthday of Emily’ in a
particular party where other pets (and owners) have
also been invited. Like in all children’s birthday parties
we can find a Piñata, a birthday cake, gifts, and
fights among the guests for who will receive the most
attention. This short film is a thesis about the times
of loneliness in today’s society, where it becomes very
much alive the celebrated Mark Twain phrase:
‘The more I know people, the more I love my dog.’

Follow the infectious party song on its fascinating

deep film. Featuring interviews with Harry Belafonte,
Connie Francis, Glen Campbell, Leonard Nimoy,
Regina Spektor and more, Hava Nagila (The Movie)

Herman’s House
by Gerd Kroske
The German painter and cabaret artist Heino Jaeger
was once a celebrated radio star. Nevertheless, this
popularity seemed to ‘hurt’ Jaeger as a painter. After ten
years, he abruptly discontinued his broadcasting
work and began to drink. Weighed down by trauma from
World War II and characterized by anarchic madness,
but far from being an eccentric, arrogant artist,
Heino Jaeger died in a psychiatric ward in 1997 at the
early age of 59. He spent his last twelve years there
as an alcoholic schizophrenic. The documentary shows
the pictures, drawings, photographs, film footage,
friends and colleagues of Heino Jaeger, reporting on his
life in a wealthy West Germany which left him behind.
A film about an artist, through whom one can focus
on German history like with a magnifying glass. Wars
may end, but they cannot be overcome.

Scenes from the 20th century, mostly shot between
1909 and 1976 by world-wide operating newsreel
cameramen, present a new, glimpse-like view on the
past. Whether of big historic events or unknown
moments in every-day life, in colour or black & white,
these images take effect on all viewers, no matter
where they are from. Selected for their visual criteria,
the films stand alone without much further explanation
needed. Country, place and date along with small,
mostly surprising details being shown on a designed
stripe at the side of the screen help classify the
images. But the focus remains on the ‘film document’
itself and the message it conveys. Two clips are always
combined – either about the same subject but at
different locations or moments in time, or about diverse
events happening at the same place or date. Thus,
each pair opens a new perspective and transports
variable emotions – on a story or an epoch. Suitable for
multi-platform use, the series’ aim is to amaze its
viewers, make them think, laugh and cry.

El Huaso
by Ed Mabe
How Ping-Pong Saved the World recounts the events of
April 1971 when a U. S. Table Tennis team became
the first Americans allowed to enter communist China
in decades. Their invitation paved the way for
President Nixon’s landmark visit just eight months later.
For eight days, 15 unlikely American Ping-Pong
playing diplomats discovered the little known world
behind the Bamboo Curtain. These unlikely diplomats
were about to reshape history and in the process
make a breakthrough of historic proportions and in doing
so, foster the beginning of the end of the cold war.
Ping-Pong soon became a metaphor for the on-going
difficult relations between the United States and
China – two ideological opposites on the brink of
detente. ‘Ping-Pong Diplomacy’ marked the beginning
of a new relationship between the United States
and the People’s Republic of China; one that over the
next 40 years would evolve into the world’s most
important bilateral alliance.

Gustavo Proto moved his family from Chile to Toronto
to provide them with a better life. His father
committed suicide when Gustavo was just 16. Now 58,
he ponders his life and the possibility of ending it
himself before he becomes a burden to those he loves.
Before he makes this final decision, he wants to
live out his childhood dream of returning to Chile and
becoming a huaso, a Chilean cowboy. Carlo Guillermo
Proto moves brilliantly between the complex roles
of director and son, dissolving unspoken barriers to
reveal an emotional and heart-wrenching portrait
of a family torn between respecting Gustavo’s choices
and confronting him with the burden he places on
those left behind. As the film travels between continents,
tensions rise. Carlo allows himself to become a

At the end of the XIX century, four groups of
indigenous people (a total of 25 people, from infants to
the elderly) were taken from Chile by a German
businessman and were shown as animals in different
fairs and public exhibitions in several Europeans cities,
including Berlin, Leipzig, and symbolic places such
as the area surrounding the Eiffel Tower. The Human Zoo
retraces the disturbing and moving journey of the
abducted natives and surprises with every new discovery
– including the remains of five members of the
Kawésqar culture found at the Anthropological
Department of the University of Zurich. The repatriation
of the remains reveals how racism and the lack

I Am Louisa Jules
by Beatrix Schwehm
‘Words and literature are like ants or water, they spread
everywhere, permeating even the tiniest cracks and
crevices.’ As this sentence from Orhan Pamuk is written
out, at reading speed, on a black background, you hear
the creaking of a ship, the splashing water and voices
from a distant land. Thus begins the new film from the
Grimme-Prize winning director Beatrix Schwehm.
The film tells of books and people, from the love of
literature, and how the written word makes its way into
the most remote corners of this world. The 90-minute
documentary follows 3 mobile libraries: in Kenya,
Mongolia and Bangladesh.The Bengalese architect
Mohammed Rezwan builds library boats that can bring
books to people even during the monsoon season.
The Mongolian author of children’s books Jambyn
Dashdondog packs two boxes full of books each
summer to provide reading material to children in
remote areas. The Kenyan librarian Abdullah Osman
leads caravans of camels loaded with boxes of
books to the nomadic tribes bordering Somalia. Despite
the heat, wind, rain or snow, they still manage their
long journeys with their mobile libraries. A film about
the love of literature and the respect for knowledge
that accepts no boundaries.

Louisa is 19 years old and looking for something.
As a small child, Louisa was adopted and grew up with
three brothers in a family in Berlin. While she was
growing up, she noticed similarities in her brothers and
parents which she did not share with them. Louisa
asks herself what she has inherited from her physical
parents. Louisa’s physical parents are of Madagascan
origin, more she doesn’t know. Through her own efforts
and after searching for a long time, she actually found
her father and her mother. The father, whom she thought
had died, is a geology professor. Her mother works
as a high school teacher. While studying in Kiev in the
Soviet era, her mother had given her up for adoption.
19 years old, Louisa is looking forward, together with
her ‘Berlin family’, to visiting the country of her African
parents and grandparents. How will her parents – who have since separated – react to seeing their long
lost daughter again ? Will Louisa at last find the similarity to her mother ? Will she feel like a Madagascan in
the foreign country or more like a black German ? What
stories does Louisa carry with her without knowing ?

as a basic requirement for any fair and socially
responsible society. Who are the people behind these
groups that are protesting so vehemently and
loudly ? What pushes a U.S.-citizen towards the
right of the Republican Party ?

Two sisters, Josna and Hasina run away from poverty,
marriage and the impending kitchen-centric life in their
conservative village, to the city, Delhi, for a new life.
After six years in the city, the sisters are hounded by
insecurity. Ironically, they find marriage to be their only
path to a secure life. They get desperate as they find
it difficult to get married. Their desperation calls for
desperate choices. The film follows the sisters for five
years and documents their changing priorities over
the period of time; the choices they make and the impact
of the same on their lives.

Iceland Year Zero
by Daniel Anker
On January 28, 1925, newspapers and radio stations
headlined a terrifying story: Diphtheria had broken out
among the children of Nome, Alaska, separated from
the rest of the world for seven months by a frozen ocean.
With barely enough antitoxin on hand to treat half a
dozen people, the death toll for Nome and surroundings
could potentially reach into the thousands. With
aviation still in its infancy, and one of the harshest winters
on record in Interior Alaska, only ancient means – dogsled – could save the town. In temperatures as low
as minus 60, more than twenty men, and at least 150 dogs,
set out via dogsled to relay the antitoxin across
674 miles of Alaskan wilderness to save the town from
the lethal epidemic. Icebound is a riveting journey back
in time, an ageless adventure that has captured the
imagination of children and adults throughout the world
for almost a century: The Greatest Dog Story Ever Told.

In October 2008, the three main banks in Iceland
collapsed, driving a nation into bankruptcy;
causing thousands of people to lose their jobs, their
personal savings − and hope. How does a nation,
once one of the richest and most developed countries
in the capitalist world, react to a total economic
collapse ? In a landscape where ‘to be rich’ used to be a
virtue, who is really to blame for the collapse of a
far-too-fast-and-greedy banking system ? Or rather, is
the decline of the capitalist values maybe the best
thing that could have happened to Iceland ?

In Between
– The British Artist
Richard Deacon
Impenetrable
This is a genuine Western in one of the world’s last
virgin territories: the Paraguayan Chaco. The director
wants to establish a 12,355-acre national park
with the land left to him by his father, but his neighbours, petrol companies and transgenic soybean
growers, who destroy the forest, do not seem too keen
on the idea …
FILM ID
British-born artist Richard Deacon ranks as one
of the most important sculptors in contemporary art.
His profound interest in the nature of materials
and the ways in which they can be manipulated, and
his innovative approach to form, make him one of
the most inventive artists working today. With his
essential contemplation of space and form, Deacon has
paved the way for a whole new perspective. More
than any other sculptor, he draws out all possibilities of
expression, creating a complex spatial dynamic
from an organic and industrial language of form. The
physical approach taken with the different materials
is a key element in this regard. His sweeping, wave-like
sculptures, with their rhythmic interweaving and
biomorphic-looking structures are among the most
complex works in modern sculpture. The multi-layered
nature of the works reflects the innate complexity of
life and stirs the beholder to intensive reflection. Filmmaker Claudia Schmid has been observing Richard
Deacon’s work for two years. Mutual understanding and
trust grew during this intense time, making it possible to portray this shy artist, even in quiet moments away
from the public eye. All of which results in a unique
insight into the personality of the artist and his work.

The Incredibles
The story of three everyday heroes: Broken Wing, The
Iron Lady and Radioactive Woman. Three people
who suffer the adversities that life throws up and fight
the most terrifying villains: death, lack of affection
and loneliness. We accompany them in their daily lives
of suffering and rejection. But they never give up – they continue their struggle to find happiness, because
they are heroes … Ninety-four year old María (aka ‘The
Iron Lady’) survived cancer twice at a younger age. Now
she finds herself outliving friends and relatives. But
strong-minded María has lost none of her zest for life …
Juan (52), ‘Broken Wing’, struggles with depression and
is desperate to find a love to free him from his loneliness. After a motorcycle accident years ago, his right
arm is paralysed – a turning point in his life, which also
cost him his marriage. Joana (‘Radioactive Woman’)
receives a cancer diagnosis shortly before her 31st birthday. Her fight for survival begins. A battle that will
leave its mark on Joana’s relationships and whose outcome
remains uncertain … The Incredibles is the featurelength début of director David Valero. Between boundless sadness and heart-warming tenderness, sometimes wonderfully bizarre or painful but always full
of humanity.

Infiltrados takes an in-depth look at FARC, one of
the world’s oldest and deadliest terrorist organisations,
examining the Colombian National Police and the
involvement of its intelligence division in the recent
lethal strikes against the FARC. Featuring firsthand
accounts from spies who infiltrated FARC, living
for many years among them before relaying intelligence
back to the Colombian military, these brave people
undertook what were to be the most dangerous missions
ever conceived of. Those who were discovered were
tortured and murdered as a warning to other undercover
agents, and the threat of exposure lingered throughout their missions. Added to this is the threat of ambush
from their own employers – the Colombian military –
as well as the difficulty in returning with intelligence
as deserters are executed. The chances of survival are
slim. For the first time the terrifying experiences of
these people who left their lives in the cities of Colombia
to live for years in the jungle as FARC members, are
captured on film, and their stories recreated through
animations to protect their identities.

‘Intimatta is not a film about Matta, It’s an object-Matta,
belonging to his world and nothing else, take it or
leave it. Of course, I take it but I can understand some
people can feel disoriented. It’s a risk one has to take,
but it is really worth it.’ (Chris Marker) Intimatta is not a
documentary but an artist film about Matta, based
on video recordings made by his son Ramuntcho, director
of this project, and about interviews to contemporaries
who knew Matta very well. Thanks to dozens of tapes
with Roberto Matta painting, talking, walking and even
sleeping; recorded between 1986 and 2000, through
his working notebooks, his letters, Intimatta shows us
a way of thinking. It also reveals to us some crucial biographical milestones of Matta, when he first arrives
in Europe, his life in Spain and France, the constant link
with the architecture, his relationships with personalities of the 20th century’s art (Le Corbusier, Duchamp,
Breton, etc.), the surrealist movement, evolution of
his painting, the birth of Abstract Expressionism, his
political commitment, etc. With this unpublished
material, Intimatta immerses us into the artist’s creative
and intimate world, stating some universal questions
about transmission, fatherhood and how to share intimacy.

'The Invisible String' is a feature-length documentary
on the ever evolving history of the flying disc movement.
The film takes the audience on a trip from the very
beginning of pie pin tossing at the Frisbie’s Pie Bakery
in Connecticut back at the turn of the century to the
Rose Bowl World Championships in the late 1970s up to
the greatest international tournaments and the hottest
spots of today. It’s a journey into the heart and mind of
the people that started it all by inventing games, skills,
and creating a global family. The most influential people
give their personal accounts as remarkable stories are
told revolving around living with flying discs. In the
1970s and 1980s playing Frisbee grew to become even
more popular than skateboarding. Rare archive footage
interwoven with Monthy Pythonesque animations
depict playfully the history of the joy of throwing flying
objects. The hottest moves and throws the most
eccentric protagonists are able to perform allow an
intimate insight on some of the different disciplines like
Ultimate, Disc Golf or Freestyle. The Invisible String aims
at reminding every single person of the importance of
doing one thing: to keep playing !

In Ireland, old hand painted furniture is often associated
with hard times, with poverty and with a time many
would rather forget. Because of this association much of
the country’s furniture lies abandoned in barns and
sheds. In the making of this film, 16 pieces of abandoned
folk furniture were restored and returned back into
daily use. An animated documentary about repair and
recycling in rural Ireland. This film was shot in a green
and environmentally friendly way using local craftspeople, local narrators and inexpensive second-hand
equipment. Only natural light was used to shoot this film.

Italy Love
it or Leave it
by Antonio Martino
It’s not easy to forecast what’s going to happen in Syria.
The hope of many is that the Assad family will democratically step down, after 40 years of dictatorship
but many people fear that they will drag the population
to hell before disappearing from the scene. Most
of the Syrian population wishes that the revolution will
remain in the hands of young people and continue
peacefully as a symbol of Hope, although some can’t help
firing back when the regime brings blood to the population. Some hope for an intervention from a foreign
country, but are also afraid that this would bring a civil
war. Isqat al Nizam is a crude and touching story that
sheds some light on the ‘Syrian Spring’: from the initial
violent reactions of the regime, to the heartbreaking
escape of more than 20,000 refugees to Turkey; from the
constant activity of the rebels through social networks to the ongoing defection of soldiers and former
officials. The collection of exclusive interviews with
locals and stolen footage of the events make this film a
unique account.

Tuscan fields, bel canto arias, slow food and movie
stars are some of the images synonymous with one of
the world’s most adored cultures. Yet many of filmmakers Luca Ragazzi and Gustav Hofer’s disenchanted
friends have recently emigrated from Italy. Before
following suit, the Italian couple decides to take a sixmonth road trip across the country to investigate
the extent to which current realities outweigh the icons
of la dolce vita. Throughout their exploration they
witness multiple examples of staggering corruption, an
increasingly lower standard of living, environmental
hazards and intransigent fanaticism. Simultaneously,
however, they encounter loyal crusaders who feel
unequivocally compelled to make their homeland a better
place. In an astute manner and with quirky Fellini-esque
animation, the film further tantalizes us with Italy’s
glorious past and future potential. Will the pair decide
to leave or stay ? Their journey tells it all.

It is only the second time that Indonesians can vote
for their own president. Two charismatic women,
however, are not satisfied with mere elections. Grandma
Dela, who lives in a slum of the tropical megacity,
and the intellectual Wardah Hafidz are setting out to
collect 1.5 million signatures of the poorest, who
are constantly threatened by local arbitrary justice and
the desires of global capitalism. Can the power of a
small elite really be overthrown by the power of many,
or is ‘real democracy’ just an ideal ? With this political
road-documentary the director portrays social changes
and improvements in his mother’s old homeland.

The Kid
and The Clown
by Bernard Mangiante
A brand-new courthouse in the still devastated land
of Cambodia. Before the judges, one of the 20th centuries
worst criminals: Douch, a Khmer Rouge leader
and head of the S 21 torture centre. 16,000 prisoners,
7 survivors. At his side, two court-appointed attorneys
faced with the challenge of defending him. ‘Every
sick person has a right to a doctor,’ says Kar Savuth, the
Cambodian who survived Pol Pot’s jails. ‘I always
try to seek out the man in the torturer,’ says François
Roux, a disciple of Gandhi and defender of the supporters of civil disobedience and non-violence for the
last thirty years.

The Land
Beneath the Fog
Kiran
The film tells the story of Kiran, who lives with his
mother in a yurt in the Pyrenees. Kiran is eight
year-old and knows how to plant salad, which meadowplants taste good and which you should not eat. But
he has no idea what’s going on in the evening on TV and
cannot deal with the computer. His greatest wish is
to go to a public school to learn to read and write at last …
FILM ID
In Genikan – a remote mountain village on the slope of
Merbabu (Central Java), a quiet community is facing
change without understanding why it is happening. As a
community of farmers who relies on the traditional
Javanese calendar system to read the seasons, they become
puzzled by the dramatic change of seasons. Muryati
(30 years old) and Sudardi (32 years old), a farmer
family, try to understand why it rains more than in the
previous years. Failed harvests and cheap sale prices
become a threat. Meanwhile, Arifin (12 years old)
is facing a different question: what does the future offer
him ? At a very young age, he has to deal with the
complicated public school system. In the rhythm of a slow
visual journey The Land Beneath the Fog takes an intimate
look at family relations in Genikan. Describing a
life on the brink of vanishing, this documentary offers
deep insights into an invisible and disenfranchised
society which is struggling hard to maintain its existence.

The Last Catch
by Svetoslav Stoyanov
The last Black Sea pirates get by on questionable
means, swimming in alcohol fumes, testosterone, and
rugged tenderness on a pristine beach far from civilization. For the last 20 years, Captain Jack and his crew
have been looking for a legendary treasure hidden
in the gully. If they could have it their way, the Pirates
would die where they live today. But in city halls and
corporate high rises across Europe, the powers
that be have other plans for the pirates' paradise. When
news of the imminent change begins to find its way
to this remote oasis, the pirates' world begins to unravel.
Doubts erode the foundations of trust, conflicts
brew and tensions are on the rise. In this crisis emerges
a contemporary real-life story about the treasure we
hunt and the treasures we find.

The European blue fin tuna measures up to 5 metres
long and weighs as much as 600 kg. Every year,
it travels across the Atlantic Ocean, returning to the
Mediterranean to spawn. Although it has long
been established that overfishing has left the tuna
stocks close to collapse, these days the whole swarm
is captured while spawning, thus preventing the
replenishing of resources. No other fish in the world
fetches such high prices. In Japan, it feeds a profitdriven machinery of gigantic proportions. The fishermen, too, are facing imminent extinction. The less
tuna remaining, the more ruthless the fight for the last
of this valuable resource becomes: Raphaël stretches
every legal loophole to the limit; his boats have repeatedly
been impounded. Roger is one of the few who has
stuck to the EU quotas and is now forced to sell his boat.
Roberto got out of the business years ago and is now
fighting desperately for a fishing moratorium in a last
ditch effort to save the remaining spawning grounds.

A documentary film about old age that takes place in
nursing homes. Under the contemplative look of a
camera, the life and moments some old people face in
their last stage are portrayed in an atmosphere of
solitude and abandonment. These homes, and their long
lasting passage of time, are the last station in life
before setting out on the inevitable journey to death.

At present, insiders of the German track and field
athletics scene watch attentively an outsider phenomenon
in the youth area of the pole vault event. Almost from
nowhere, two teenage girls take up a position on top of
the world rankings of pole vault. The father of this
success is Olaf Hilker, an independent, self taught coach
without a coaching license, widely regarded as an
awkward customer. According to his own point of view,
a person who handles things differently, at his own
risk, without support, but with perspective and success.
Why is he and his rare outsider team so extraordinarily successful ? The first doping samples of the two
exceptional, teenage vaulters didn’t yield any further
notes to this.

Letter Tape
by Boris Peters
For 82 years, Leontina Miranda Sandoval has lived in the
isolated lands of southern Chile. Alone, separated
from an absent family and to modern developments, she
seeks refuge in her own world. We will know her
memories and her intimacy, her everyday rituals and her
worldview. We discover a secret that takes her to the
past and we join her back on the sea after 50 years. This
documentary is a grandson’s tribute to his grandmother.
FILM ID
Letter tape is an animated documentary film about
two engaged lovers separated by time zones and several
oceans. The soundtrack is an actual tape recording
Cathy (the director’s mother) made on a hired audio
machine in London in 1957 to communicate intimately
with her fiancé after frustrated broken telephone
conversations. This old tape recorded message has been
lovingly animated to provide a glimpse back in time.
Cathy describes a wintry London, heaving under a cloud
of smog and fantasizes about when they can be together again. It is a letter that is excitedly looking forward
to the possibilities of a relationship in its heady early
days of romance and desire. Imbued with an infectious
sense of hope, this fascinating time capsule suffuses with
the atmosphere of a time and place now passed.

The Lifeguard
by Alexandre Philippe
The Life and Times of Paul the Psychic Octopus tells the
official and exclusive story of the world’s most
beloved and scorned cephalopod, whose remarkable
string of eight correct ‘predictions’ during the
2010 Soccer World Cup made him a worldwide superstar. Whether Paul is an honest-to-goodness 21st
century oracle, or a tentacled sham, remains a hotly
debated topic. What is certain, though, is that
Paul’s unmatched string of correct predictions has
affected us, made us dream, and impacted popular culture. The Life and Times of Paul the Psychic Octopus
is a biopic of tentacular proportions – one that
explores celebrity mania at its most outrageous, the
science of probabilities, and the possibility of
higher powers.

Mauricio is a scrupulous lifeguard, punctual and
meticulous almost to the point of obsession, in running
his tower and making the rules respected on the
largest and most famous beach in Chile. The Sunday
trippers often cannot stand his attitude, like his
colleague/rival, but the small aspiring lifeguard has
chosen him to learn the job. Many wonder why Mauricio
never goes into the water. Until there is a drama.
Oscillating between the pure observation of reality and
the suspense of fiction, the documentary by the young
director Maite Alberdi cleverly questions the theme of
responsibility.

Lisa, Go Home !
by Olivier Zuchuat
Between 1947 and 1950, more than 80,000 Greek
citizens were imprisoned on the isle of Makronisos
(Greece) in re-education camps created to ‘fight
the spread of communism’. Among these exiles were
a number of writers and poets, including Yannis
Ritsos and Tassos Livaditis. Despite the deprivation
and torture, these prisoners succeeded in composing
poems, which describe their struggle for survival
in this world of internment. These texts, some of them
buried in the camps, were later found. Like Lions
of Stone at the Gateway of Night blends these poetic
writings with the re-education propaganda constantly
piped through the camps’ loudspeakers. Long tracking shots take us on a trance-like journey through the
camp ruins, interrupted along the way by segments
from photographic archives. A cinematic essay, which
revives the memory of forgotten ruins and a battle lost.

The soul of the child does not want to reconcile
with her surroundings. The film-makers made the effort
to record what reflects the generation gap between
the little girl Lisa and the world of adults in her family.
Parts of the continuing conflicts that were recorded
occur because of Lisa’s running away from home. ‘Why
are you always running away ? What are you missing ?’
The little girl hears these questions relentlessly. However,
how is it possible to explain, what is only clear to
her own soul – what is within the indescribably fragile
existence of a child ? This is a world that is surrounded
by coarse and brutal realities … How long will the
child be able to resist this environment and safeguard
her own dream ?

When she was a teenager, Katarina lost her parents,
her flat, and her documents … Three stories of young
people who the state of Slovenia erased from all records
in February 1992, just over half a year after it gained

Losing Sonia shows how a seemingly rigid monastery
can be a place full of life, beauty and artistic expression.
Sonia, a young nun, paints icons at night and then
sleeps until noon. She has a dog, cats, exotic birds, and
a body that rebelled against the strict rigour of the
monks. Trying to understand her and the meaning of
her life choices, we come to Sonia’s family, marked
with the history of Russia. At the same time, the film is
a journey inside the Orthodox church, showing that
the deep spirituality of the nation is being reborn. Losing
Sonia tells the story of an unusual woman who, within
the walls of the monastery, is trying to rebuild the values
that Russian society has lost under successive political regimes.

Mad. A World
of Fashion
by Tinatin Gurchiani
A film director returns to her home country after a long
break. She wants to shoot a film and is in search of
a main character – a modern day hero. She announces a
casting for 15–23 year old youths in order to find him.
This search brings her to different locations: villages and
cities, mountains and plains, fields and upscale clubs.
There are a lot of people who come to the casting
on their own and they all have different motivations: some
are interested in becoming part of a film, some want
to be like Jean-Claude Van Damme, others are ready to
share their sentimental stories or seek for strength
to carry out their major resolutions … Those who prove to
be interested enough are followed through various
dramatic situations. One more chance to think about
the meaning of life and destiny, about wars, dreams
and happiness. Intense and authentic.

Magic Words
(to Break a Spell)
by Henrike Sandner
Fireworks enchant our senses – for a short but wonderful moment. Old family businesses have saved the
tradition of fireworks to the present day. The film shows
how this art form has developed over the centuries:
Starting in China over a thousand years ago, we journey
through the opulent Baroque era in Italy, Germany
and France, experience Japanese hanabi artists in action
and are also on hand to experience Guy Fawkes’
Night in the UK. We see how fireworks were democratised,
becoming something that everyone could enjoy and
have access to – before arriving in the present where the
art of fireworks is again what it was in its heyday, a
celebration of money, power and beauty. Each era is
interwoven with contemporary stories and artists from
Asia to the United States, because anyone in the
21st century who has dedicated himself to pyrotechnics
is working in many similar ways to the artists of several
hundred years ago. The film combines gorgeous
firework displays of today with the past explaining how
the makers are aiming to reconnect with the traditions of their art. Fireworks are and have always been a
passion and a lifestyle.

Magic Skies – A History
of Fireworks
This story starts from a child’s imagination where death
is romantic and heroic, then grows with the deepest
love and beauty, the pain of loss and through betrayal and
finally up into space. Magic Words (to break a spell) is
my emotional perspective of the revolution in Nicaragua.

Mandala
by Ed Moschitz
They gave the smugglers all their money and risked
their lives on their journey across borders: Three women
from a small town in Moldavia, living now in Austria
as cleaning women. On top of their hard job they live a life
in illegality without documents, far away from their
children and family for years.
FILM ID
Six monks from Bhutan. For most of them it is their first
trip abroad. The monks have come to Germany to
create something extraordinary in the ‘Jahrhunderthalle’
in Bochum: a traditional sand mandala measuring
five by five meters. It is thought to be the largest sandmandala ever created so far. It will take the monks
ten days to strew the Chakrasamvara-Mandala, working
from morning until dawn in extreme concentration.
Images from divinities, palaces, walls, spirits and many
symbols of astonishing subtilety, diversity and color
will arise. They make us be astonished at the diversity of
the representation and its numerous colours. And
then, almost like a shock, as soon as the Mandala is
created it will be dismanteled in a ritual ceremony. The
sand is swept up to a grey mass and then it is poured
into a river near by so that it can return to the cycle of
nature. We watch and and try to give our images the
concentration, calm and precision of the monks' work.
Ist strangeness as well. Now and again one of the monks
explains what we are seeing, what is happening, and
how it relates to the sand and the motifs of the mandala.
The film dispenses with any other explanations or
commentaries by third parties. As a result the film itself
is a kind of visual meditation, not esoteric or superficial
but rather calm, quiet, concentrated.

Matthew’s Laws
by Mario Schneider
A magical film about the mysteries of childhood and
a thousand-year-old custom. Tom, Sebastian and Paul are
three children from very different families. They
live in a small village in Mansfelder Land, an area where
the demise of mining has left its scars. Despite the
changing times, the villagers have retained an archaic
custom over the centuries. Just once a year, the younger
ones are able to triumph over their elders, and this
is the first hint at the changing of generations: springtime
drives out winter, and thus the young drive out the
old. That’s the way it’s always been, and how it will always
be – and once a year, this old magic returns to hearts
of the villagers. The Man’s field is a film that takes us back
to our own childhoods. All of a sudden we find ourselves
back sitting on the school bench, wandering through
the woods, or being afraid of the dark.

based on decades of lies. He leaks 7,000 pages of
top-secret documents to The New York Times, a daring
act of conscience that leads directly to Watergate,
President Nixon’s resignation and the end of the
Vietnam War. Ellsberg and a who’s-who of Vietnam-era

Love Story
Mother’s Day
by Bin Chuen Choi
At 11, I met my mother for the first time; then she
vanished again. Later, I recognized her in a magazine
article. I wasn’t sure if she was really my mother, so
I looked up her birth certificate to compare my mother’s
name with the person’s in the magazine. Only then I
learned that my mother was Yeh Su Nee, one of the most
popular Hong Kong writers whose novels fill entire
shelves in any bookstore. So far, I have successfully repressed my mother from my life: wouldn’t it be better to
continue like that ? Is it not too late for a 44-year-old
who has a child of his own to search for his 65-year-old
mother whom he doesn’t even know and flood her
with questions ? I am sure to find her and try to imagine
her voice. How nervous will I be calling her ? I’ll
probably say something like, ‘Hello, it’s me, Bin Chuen
Choi, your son. Long time no see. Shall we meet ?’
But how will she react ? Perhaps she’ll refuse to see me
or say, ‘It did take you very long to call. Let’s go eat
Dim Sum. I know a good spot downtown.’

Before there was Johnny and June, there was Johnny and
Saul. In a secret storage locker a son searches for
clues to his father’s suicide – and discovers his father’s
audio diaries. Imagine finding 60 hours of audio
diaries and telephone calls between your father and
Johnny Cash recorded when you were a child: during the
1960s and 1970s – the singer’s most talked about
but least examined years. That’s exactly what happened to
Jonathan Holiff after his father, Cash’s former manager,
Saul Holiff, committed suicide – without leaving a
note. This is no ordinary music documentary. What if the
father you rejected was not the man you thought
he was ? An explosive new talent meets the man who will
take him to the top, in a story about a cold and distant
father whose suicide brings about reconciliation in a
most unexpected and remarkable way. My Father and The
Man In Black tells the inside story of ‘bad boy’ Johnny
Cash, his talented and troubled manager, Saul Holiff, and
a son searching for his father in the shadow of a legend.

My House
Without Me
by Erich Langjahr
‘Of all the mountain films I have made, the film My First
Mountain marks the conclusion of my cinematic
reflections on rural and Alpine Switzerland. I grew up at
the gateway to Central Switzerland with a view of
Mt. Rigi. Since my childhood, the sweeping backdrop of
this mountain has never ceased to impress me.
Mt. Rigi is also the first mountain for the Alpine herdsman
Märtel Schindler. Just like his ancestors, he grew up on
it and lives and works on this mountain, a popular
tourist and recreation destination. In this film I attempt
to probe the heart – the heart of a magnificent landscape and the heart of a personal account, to capture an
image of time from the heart of Switzerland.’

Two women, one house. An intimate story about a Pole
and a German placed by war on enemy sides and
their parallel lives accidentally brought together. The
film reflects on the concepts of invader, victim,
guilt and forgiveness. It confronts different experiences
and their paradoxical similarities. It deals with the
controversial subject of the post-war accounts. The visual
narration is flowing, guided by memories and archives.
Traditional documentation confronts experimental
use of archival footage in this cinematic impression about
displacement.

What are the things we really need in life – and what

man makes himself the subject of a one year human
experiment. The concept: Put all of your stuff

The result ? An everyday adventure driving him
deeper and deeper into the empty spot in his heart.
You’re right: this would be borderline insane
even without his decision of constantly filming himself. Meet Petri, 26. Amidst an existential crisis, he
arrives at the idea that his happiness might be found
by rebuilding his everyday existence. Buck naked

turned on its head. Their CDs are storming the hit
parades and they are overwhelmed by concert requests –
show business is calling them. Now they are about to

My rebelliousness grows trough my family history, it is
not trivial to be a daughter of Communists, I feel a

my films only spoke of it: ‘The Freedom’. During the

the corridors of the Tenon Hospital in November, in
Paris. I must therefore face a second enemy: my Cancer.
Why should I have made a film ? I wanted to explain
the ‘repercussions of my previous movie’ ? It allows me to
continue the fight and saying, once again, that ‘those
who live are those who fight’. (Victor Hugo)

The Oath
by Liran Kapel, Yael Dekel
A true story based on a testimony of Holocaust survivor,
the late Nomi Kapel. Nyosha is a ten year old girl
that lives with her mother in a small village in Poland.
Nyosha has a seemingly naive and simple dream, to
buy herself a pair of shoes. But a ruthless war is arriving,
and her dream is put aside. In the midst of a terrible
action, when she stands face to face with death and the
fatal moment she is torn from her mother and taken
to the truck, Nyosha believes that her shoes are the ones
that convinced the Nazi soldier who held her to spare
her life. A range of animation techniques brings together the dream and the reality and tells Nyosha’s story.

The Other Day
by Tomasz Wiszniewski
Sergey, who is Ukrainian, was a soldier of the Soviet fleet
until both his feet and his fingers were amputated
due to frostbite. Over 10 years, he underwent 29 operations and lived with severe disability. Suffering deprived
him of his will to live. One day, thanks to a spiritual
transformation, Sergey completely changed his attitude.
Today, he is dreaming of building a house for those
who suffered a similar fate. He sees the world from the
perspective of one meter above the ground and thinks
it is more beautiful than ever.

The filmmaker’s house in Santiago has a door that leads
to the sidewalk, which separates two spaces: the inner
space, the house itself and the outer space; the city.
There is a corridor in the inner space which has a large
window that leads to a small patio. The wisteria,
the bougainvillea and the old vine trunk struggle among
them, co-existing with a variety of birds that drink
water from a fountain and bathe in it, plus one cat that
belongs to the adjacent houses. Sunlight comes through
the window as it moves during the changing seasons.
Inside the house, there are many objects from which the
director takes stories that he tells with his own voice.
These stories are interrupted when acquaintances and
strangers ring the bell. The director opens the door. He
asks about their address and goes to their houses to
knock on their doors, creating a net of links between his
house and the strangers’ houses. This net is drawn on
a large map of the city found inside the house. This way, a
braid of characters, spaces, time and stories is built.

Dancer and choreographer Dave St-Pierre is adored
by critics and audiences alike. His subversive, innovative
works are taking Europe by storm. But his own
body is failing him. Dave is 34 and has cystic fibrosis.
The average life expectancy for sufferers is 37. His
doctors have given him two years to live unless he has a
lung transplant. With the sense of urgency growing,
his best friend and creative partner, director and actress
Brigitte Poupart, turns her camera on the daily life
of a man who is waiting for a life-or-death call from the
doctor. A call that could come at any moment. United by
art and friendship, the two create a space in which
creativity emerges as a vital act. Over My Dead Body
is an engrossing private diary that accepts neither taboos
nor fate. It features testimonials from Dave’s friends,
loved ones and collaborators, as well as excerpts from
his works.

Pablo needs to stop smoking. Why ? Because his wife,
family and doctor say he should. But Pablo is a stubborn man. He’s worked in the mercury mines of Almaden,
Spain, risking his life daily. He’s had five severe heart
attacks and smoked 20 Fortuna’s a day since he was 12.
Surely this simple divine pleasure can’t be killing
him, but could his wife’s firm, persistent words be the
key to finally quitting ? Pablo’s Winter captures the
comical essence of everyday life in a small town that
strives to survive after the closure of the most productive

Istanbul, the present. The city is one big machine
where we listen to the voices of young male and female
workers. A Kurdish girl rebels against the family
tradition. The last young member of a diminished clan
remembers the past. A child worker turns into his
family’s leader. A young male sells himself in front of
The Blue Mosque. Shot entirely on Super 8, Fazlamesai
chronicles the desperation and hope in the economically / culturally marginalized Muslim working class.

Zbigniew Czapla found a box of old photographs in
his family house also ravaged by the elements. The unique
family mementoes left were destroyed by water, mud
and mould. This film is a desperate attempt to keep
memories, reconstruct people and events of the past. An

The Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw was a
despised gift from Stalin. After the system transformation
in Poland some suggested pulling it down. But the
palace is still standing and doing fine, pulsating with the
life of hundreds of offices, hosting a theatre, concert
hall, cinema and even a swimming pool as well as a city
council room. Having already visited a clinic, hospital and
registry office, this time Wolski, with his camera,
enters the building that is a reflection of Poland’s everyday life and history. The nooks and crannies of the
building make a backdrop for apt and witty observations
as well as an inspiration to more general diagnoses.

Peace Out asks and answers the question: are we ripping up our back yard for energy – or not ? The film seeks
to engage those of us who do not connect our daily
decisions with global land use issues. It focuses on the
North Western Canadian wilderness, however the
issues are universal. The film pits energy executives,
Tar Sands reps, nuclear spokesmen against academics

Best of TV – POV
A Perfect Candidate
by Aaron Yeger
The Roma, commonly referred to as Gypsies, are
outsiders who have been both romanticised and vilified
in popular culture. Lacking the kind of social hierarchy and political power that could otherwise advocate
collectively for their rights and tell their history, the
Roma struggle with chronic poverty and disenfranchisement. They have endured centuries of intolerance
and persecution in Europe – an estimated 500,000 were
murdered during World War II. Shot in 11 countries
and featuring dozens of Roma – including Holocaust
survivors, historians, activists and musicians. A People
Uncounted documents their culturally rich yet
often difficult lives and demonstrates how their present
state has been shaped by the tragedies of the past.
As ethnic intolerance flares across Europe again, the film
sheds light on this unique culture, placing the Romani
story within a larger context of racism and genocide.

Disproving the adage that there are no second acts in

re-emerged to challenge incumbent Charles Robb in

R. J. Cutler and David Van Taylor weave a modern-day
parable about leadership in America and campaign
culture in a cynical age. The result is a clear-eyed examination of the electoral process, where issues take a
back seat to the machinations of spin doctors, and voter
interests are lost in a media hall of mirrors.

Petra’s Poem
In this visually compelling, colourful short, Toronto
artist Petra Tolley performs a candid soliloquy
about what it feels like to be ‘in the middle.’ Petra has
Down syndrome, and draws from her emotional
experiences of living and working in the flux between
societal order and personal chaos to produce a distinctive take on the social self. Award-winning director
Shira Avni (Tying Your Own Shoes, John and Michael)
employs rotoscopy and hand-drawn animation
techniques to enhance and interact with Petra’s performance. But Petra is not alone – a troupe of adults
with Down syndrome rallies around Petra in a theatrical
movement that explores the dynamics of seclusion,
societal expectations and social support. In subtle
stereoscopic 3D, Petra engages the camera with unflinching and tender directness, heightening our sense
of intimacy, alienation, bonding and innately, dignity.

Places Other People Have Lived is a mixed media exploration
of the relationship between memory and place, as
examined through the sale of a childhood home. Using
old photographs, recorded interviews with family
members, and multiple animation techniques, the film
deconstructs room-by-room a house that was a family
home for more than 25 years. What begins as a biography
of a house, told through bittersweet and sometimes
humorous personal anecdotes, ultimately raises larger
questions about the emotional content of physical
spaces, and what happens to our histories when we leave
those places behind.

brothers, Trudno Byt’ Bogom (It’s Difficult to
Be God). The film tells the story of a man who is sent
to a planet which bears a strong resemblance to
Earth during the Middle Ages. There he must monitor
events. Meanwhile, the film crew has also been
monitored during their epic film project – by a director
from Switzerland. For him, Russia is another planet.
In his eyes, life on the great director’s film set is a mirror

To leave or to stay ? Citizens from Ouagadougou express
themselves. Between those who dream of leaving for
the West and those who want to stay, a pattern emerges:
a strong will to leave poverty behind, but also a fear
of failing to find a job ‘over there’, or of being made to feel
unwelcome. Beyond the image of the West as an El
Dorado, their thoughts reflect one common aspiration:
to find a better life.

Jana’s divorced mother and her widowed grandmother.
A few years later, the family moved from Prague to

Private Universe
by Yashaswini Raghunandan, Ekta Mittal
Presence is a film that explores haunting phenomenon
through the nightmares and ghostly encounters
of migrant workers in a city that is transforming rapidly.
The ghost is not simply a dead or a missing person,
but a social figure, and investigating lead[s] to that dense
site where history and subjectivity make social life.
The way of the ghost is haunting and haunting is a very
particular way of knowing what has happened or is
happening. The workers’ presence in the city is a ghostly
matter as he enters and leaves the city invisibly. As
they carry these stories in and out of many cities, the cities
bear witness to these fragments positing an unsettling
feeling between what we see and what we know. The film
navigates through the here and now, with a quaint
reference to the past and an uncertainty of the future. In
the midst of this transformation is where our film is
located to delve into the subconscious of the city and
the worker who’s seething presence continues to linger
in the air.

Pushwagner is a personal portrait of a small man with a
great personality. Pop agitator, whip smart renegade
and celebrated graphic artist Hariton Pushwagner lives
life on the edge. ‘There’s a difference in living like
life was real and deep like a thousand kisses.’ Pushwagner
grabs you and doesn’t let go, his puzzling and profound statements keep you glued, hanging on his every
word. Meaningful or meaningless, maybe there’s
no difference, especially since he thinks ‘words are like
viruses.’ The man infects the screen with his paranoia
and need for control until you realize that it’s not all
inside his head. As Pushwagner faces a former assistant
in court, fighting for legal control of his career, image
and art work, it all begins to make sense.

decade and long forgotten by the rest of society. Dream of
Wischershausen is a trip to the periphery of society.
How do people like Maxe the farmer, mother-of-five Gabi

Norway’s North Cape in his camper van and experiencing
one white night there, actually live ? Wealth and jobs
are scarce around here, but people want to stay regardless.
With stubbornness and a sense of humour, they make
the best of their situation. Dream of Wischershausen is a

Red Hair
and Black Coffee
by Alexander Schwarz
Soviet film avant-garde flourished in the West while the
Russians rushed to watch German films. East and West
joined forces in the unique German-Russian film
studio Meshrabpom-Film, under the roof of the workers’
relief organisation IAH (Internationale Arbeiterhilfe).
The vision of its founders, the red media tsar Willi
Muenzenberg and Moisei Aleinikov, the last independent
Russian entrepreneur: To establish a new way of filmmaking. Entertainment, political enlightenment and
social consciousness, presented with a new film language
and with international distribution. Among the masters
of the studios were Yakov Protasanov, Vsevolod
Pudovkin, Boris Barnet, Dziga Vertow and Joris Ivens. The
ZDF/ARTE & MDR documentary includes statements
by film historians and critics Naum Kleiman, Yekaterina
Khokhlova and Andrei Plakhov, as well as prominent
filmmakers and contemporary film entrepreneurs from
Russia like Aleksei Popogrebsky, Andrei Sviagintsev,
Igor Tolstunov and Ilya Bachurin. The film connects
fascinating film history of the 1920s and 30s and contemporary Russian film. Many film excerpts and photos
are shown for the first time. Just like many of the historical
films portrayed, this documentary is a joint GermanRussian effort: cinematography by Andrei Pitinov, original musical composition by Bernd Schultheis, graphics/
CGI by Fabian Harmanus.

suspense of a fiction film. The strange characters
that live in the town introduce us to the crimes committed

the problem. However, while the documentary makers
are shooting the movie, new strange events occur. What
is really happening in Ernestina ? The film invites us
to approach, with humour, the bizarre world of this town,
the particular life of its inhabitants and the mystery

Luxembourg. One of the world’s smallest countries,
a green and peaceful place bordered by Belgium, France
and Germany. The birthplace of two brothers, Andy
and Fränk Schleck, two of the world’s best professional
cyclists. Following Team Leopard Trek and the
Schleck Brothers, this film focuses upon the team’s participation in the prestigious 2011 Tour de France. It
is an intimate cinematic portrait of two brothers and a
team under pressure to live up to the expectations
of their country. The Road Uphill documents the relationships, motivations and belief systems integral to
Leopard Trek – core aspects of the team which are not
usually exposed by television reportage. This documentary investigates the day-to-day life of a professional
cycling team and the physical, mental and emotional
thresholds that they need to overcome to win the greatest
race on earth.

How can I ‘hunt down’ the man of my dreams ? Or

how should I bend down and obey – to attract male

courses and exercises available in post-communist
Moscow. In a country where there are 5 millions more
women than men, the ‘battle’ to find a man can sometimes assume existential proportions. They all have one

The focus lies on the key events that defined the various
epochs of this huge realm and which still resonate
to this very day. The story is told through the history of
three major Russian cities: St. Petersburg, Volgograd,
formerly Stalingrad and Moscow. This is where everything comes together: key turning points in politics
and war, tales of heroes, world-changing inventions and
discoveries. In short these are snapshots of human
happiness and boundless energy as well as huge tragedies
affecting entire peoples and dramas on a historic scale.
Russia’s History Revealed is a docudrama set against the
backdrop of impressive landscapes and historic locations,
combined with a wealth of fascinating and previously
unseen archive material and exciting, emotive re-enactments, which bring to life the various Russian eras in
opulent detail.

by Alexander Hick, Gudrun Gruber, Michael Schmitt
In the midst of the world’s biggest fruit and vegetable
garden, the so called‚ ‘Mar del plástico’, lies the Andalusian
village of San Agustín. For the local planters this
season’s atmosphere is prophesying crisis: A mysterious
virus threatens the harvest, bacteria attack the plants
and the authorities are after the illegal workforce in the
greenhouses. Planter José Maria would rather choose
to live among vegetables than people anyway, while the
Crespo family, who seems to belong to a different
era, tries to get by with vegetables, breeding goats and a
giant compost pile. This is all part of the daily routine
for Paco, the village tavern’s barman, who knows all of his
customers’ problems. San Agustín takes an out of the
ordinary look at the ‘Mar del plástico’ – Europe’s most
important producer and vendor of fruit and vegetables –
as it fights with its own existence once more during the
cucumber crisis of 2011. Two families, a village tavern
and a lot of vegetables. One harvest season in nine chapters.

An epic feature documentary about a coal mining town
with a proud immigrant heritage, once pivotal in fueling
America’s industrial revolution and today in decline
and struggling to survive and retain its identity, soul and
values – all of which were dramatically challenged
when four of the town’s white, star football players were
charged in the beating death of an undocumented
Mexican immigrant named Luis Ramirez. Pulitzer Prizewinning photographer David Turnley’s most personal
work, Shenandoah creates a deeply felt portrait of a working class community, and the American Dream on trial.

I remember the night when the history of my family
changed. We received a phone call from Peru saying that
my aunt Sibila was in prison accused of forming part
of the Shining Path. I was seven years old and my parent’s
protective silence made me transform her image into
a great mystery. She was kept in prison for 15 years. Today
she is free and I want to get close to her, to listen and
to understand. Sibila is a journey that builds the present by
looking at the past. It is also an encounter between two
generations looking for dialogue.

Last Ambulance
The Sky over here
by Selim Harbi
After 25 years of career in Syrian civil aviation, Habib
loses inequitably his pilot’s job. This professional crash is
followed by a family explosion and by social decay.
His German wife quits him and his children too, except
Maher, his eldest son. Today, 56-year-old Habib has
lost everything, or almost everything. He lives in Berlin
and earns his living by collecting empty bottles. The
street is his universe and at night his refuge. He survives
thanks to the poetry which allows him to take up with
the sky while protecting his identity and his pride.
Habib is the living memory of a period to which he clings
stubbornly so as not to lose his ultimate marks. In a
dedication to Hafiz al Assad that he frequented in the
past lies an admiration and an unlimited respect he
puts above the importance of his own life. Habib: still
faithful to the political model which caused his setbacks.

In a city where 13 ambulances struggle to serve 2 million
people, Krassi, Mila and Plamen are our unlikely
heroes: chain-smoking, filled with humour, relentlessly
saving lives against all odds. Yet, the strain of a broken
system is taking a human toll: how long can they keep fixing society’s injured until they loose their empathy ?
The film uses an unorthodox creative form which dodges
sensationalism. We are captivated by the faces of our
protagonists and the sounds surrounding one of Sofia’s

A Sort Of Love
For a year filmmaker Dirk Schäfer accompanied thirty
year old Nevzat through his disordered life. Nevzat,
who grew up in the bosom of a Kurdish tribe at Turkey’s
border to Iran, had been forced into a marriage at
the age of fifteen in order to pacify a smoldering blood
feud with another clan. Yet the marriage was never
consummated and again and again Nevzat chose to stay
away from village life by hiring himself out as a construction worker in the mega metropolis Istanbul, a job
that almost claimed his life. Caught between the
traditional codes of honour in his community, and his
status as a member of the Kurdish minority in Turkey,
Nevzat has been forced to use his wits to forge his
way and has had a hard time planning a future. An observational documentary, A Sort of Love is also both the
source and reflection of an unusual friendship.

‘Active forgetting’ is a common process of coping with
history in Germany. In a radical personal approach,
the film follows the complex turns and twists of feelings,
when they try to deal with threatening knowledge.
My cheerful uncle lived with my family unless he was
touring as an entertainment musician across Germany.
Only at his age of 90, I detected what my whole
family had hidden: that he had spent 8 years in Nazi
camps and that he was gay. During the following
research I found out that my hometown, which presented
itself as a liberal town, had been a major stronghold of
the early Nazi-Party. I found out that even in
brutal concentration camps turbulent festivities took
place where my uncle was part of; that my mother
enjoyed her career in the Hitler-Youth although knowing about her brothers captivity. Because of several
taboos, the story of my beloved uncle was hardly
accessible. By means of animation and image compositing, we revitalized the available photos. My surprising encounters in several countries and my reflections
lead the audience through the burdened social history
of Germany – with a humorous undertone.

Speed – In Search

‘My experience with time by now is limited to the one
feeling – I don’t have enough.’ It’s a paradox. Never
before in history we have worked more efficiently. Never
before we have saved time with more sophisticated
technologies. Anyway, nearly all of us are feeling an increasing pressure of time. It seems that the same
technology that has been invented to make our life better
and easier, is now enslaving us. Florian Opitz tries
to track down the reasons of our shortage of time and for
the constant acceleration of our lives. In his search
of lost time he not only questions his own hectic lifestile,
but also visits several people, to find out how they deal
with time. The pacemakers of the constant acceleration
of society as well as dropouts. In Speed. In search of
lost time step by step he reveals the disturbing picture of
a civilisation, that has disposed of all brake systems
and, run by autopilot, goes blindly for unlimited and
eternal growth, no matter what the consequences are. But
Opitz also tries to find the good life. In the nishes of
the global capitalism he discovers alternatives to the
rat race.

Scientology is one of the world’s most controversial
sects. Yet even though we are aware that international
stars such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta are
among the followers of the sect founded by Ron Hubbard.
What is less known is that Scientology has its own
secret service: the ‘Office of Special Affairs’ – O.S.A. for
short – which is run by Scientology boss David Miscavige
in Los Angeles. It is the oldest private secret service
in the world, and bigger and more influential than the
secret service agencies of many countries. But why
does a religious community need a secret service ? What
methods are used by this mysterious organization
and to what ends ? Who are the people who work for this
‘service’ ? In order to find answers to these questions,
Frank Nordhausen and Markus Thöss spent more than a
year researching with their camera in Europe and the
U. S. The O.S.A. zeroes in on rebels and critics. Scientology agents have already been accused of espionage,
breaking and entering, coercion and other criminal acts.
In their research, the filmmakers uncovered trails
leading to the top ranks of political life – including the
State Department in Washington.

Steve Jobs:
The Lost Interview
by Scott Christianson, Egmont R. Koch
On the 3rd of September, 1941 the SS carried out a
top-secret experiment in the Auschwitz concentration
camp, which marked the beginning of the Holocaust:
several hundred war prisoners were murdered
with Zyklon B, a granulate that releases extremely toxic
hydrogen cyanide. A few weeks later, the representative of Germany’s IG Farben corporation received
American couriers in his villa on the banks of Lake
Lucerne in Switzerland, gave them top-secret documents
about Hitler’s toxic gas production as well as about
Zyklon B, produced by IG Farben. Did information about
the planned ‘final solution’ reach the U. S. at an early
stage through these channels ? This documentary by the
American journalist Scott Christianson and his German
colleague Egmont R. Koch makes use of recent
archival findings to explore this matter in depth. The
film tells the amazing story of the German economic
consultant Erwin Respondek, who was initially a participant in the cartel agreements between IG Farben
and the American chemical corporation Du Pont before
mutating into a spy and providing the Americans
with secrets on Hitler’s toxic-gas production. Respondek
worked in an office on the Pariser Platz in Berlin …

In 1995, during the making of his TV series Triumph of
the Nerds about the birth of the PC, Bob Cringely did
a memorable, long interview with Steve Jobs. At the time
of the interview he was running Next, the niche
computer company he had founded after leaving Apple.
During the interview, Jobs was witty, outspoken and
visionary – a pioneer at the peak of his powers, already
anticipating the digital future that one day he would
do so much to make possible. Only a part of the interview
was used in the series and the rest was thought lost.
But recently a copy was found in the director’s garage.
There are surprising few filmed interviews with
Steve Jobs, and even fewer good ones. So the producers
decided to clean this one up to give today’s audiences
a chance to see Jobs at his charismatic best looking into
the future then. A future which is now !

In 1989, in Romania, the anti-communist revolution was
taking place on the streets of the big cities. But all
around the country, people were waiting, in fear, in doubt,
with contained excitement, in their trained paranoia,
for something to change. In the small hunters’ village of
Stremt, news travelled slowly. So slow in fact, that only
after they saw Ceausescu flee on television, did they decide
to start their own revolution. Each man had a rifle
and a theory, but most importantly, a cellar stacked with
homemade alcohol. So it was no surprise that soon
enough, every neighbour behind a fence was a terrorist.
22 years later, the documentary follows what people
thought they did, what they think they should have done,
and how they would have been better off if they had
done it differently.

film not only holds firm to the basic principle of ‘direct
cinema’ but has a view of sincerity and completion.
The production crew shot Cuban natives and Mejengue’s
personal problems in their lives along with an anthropological view of an existence in a community around a
mountainous region. They made a film of two episodes
(The Breaking Down of the Bus, Parihuela) on mise en scene
with an almost perfect level of shooting skill.

They were forced to live in a house of evicted Hungarians.
How can the result of a chess game of a few politicians

Tea or Electricity
by Patricia Bustos
They are four Chileans under thirty years of age who
have known each other since childhood. They grew
up in the same poor neighbourhood and formed part of
a children’s news programme called Chinoticias.
They acted as journalists, asking their neighbours about
the problems in the local area. Although many of
those problems still exist, those times seem like long ago.
Now adults, today they are building their lives and
forming families in a country that does little to make
things easy for them. A lack of opportunities is a part
of their landscape, and the passing of their days is a
genuine portrait of Chile in 2010. Tales about the future
is an observational documentary about their lives
over the course of a year. It is a film about the dreams
and dignity of four young people who, like many in
Chile, were born and grew up on the edge of the city.

Tomorrow

In the late 1940s, the modern town of Glenrothes in
Scotland was built from scratch on empty farmland
to house workers for a nearby coal mine. With the pit long
closed, the original residents reflect on their memories
of the community that emerged. Mixing archive footage
charting the construction of the first buildings with
evocative present-day images of the town, A Thousand Trees
contrasts the bright promise of those early days with
the lived-in reality of today.

Tour Du Faso
by Martin Nguyen
In the 80s in a small Austrian village an old man, Mr.
Karlhofer, saw a TV report about the struggle of
Vietnamese Boat People. He decided to do something.
He brought a young Vietnamese couple with a baby
to his village, organised a home and work. This family
were my parents and I. In the past there was another helper: Ali, a former Malaysian police officer. Ali
supported them with food and stuff my father could
sell. When they left the refugee camp Pulau Bidong, my
parents promised Ali to write, but my father lost the
address. He was never able to say ‘Thank you’, never able
to say that all went fine. ‘Let’s go back to Malaysia and
look for him’, my father suggests to me. The film tells the
story of my family who fled Vietnam in the 1980s and
settled down in a small Austrian village to build up a new
life. After all, they return for the first time to Malaysia
to find Ali and the former refugee camp Pulau Bidong
where I was born. The past meets the present.

The ‘Tour du Faso’: Africa’s biggest cycling race – An
event attracting fortune seekers and dreamers of
great variety. The film puts its focus on those who are
standing outside the spotlight, always revealing
their admirable energy. Amid this clash of European
perfectionism and African realities we follow hobby
adventurers, ex-pros and local heroes in their passionate fight for making their dreams come true. The
quest of our protagonists goes far beyond the question of who will win – instead, our attention is also drawn
towards their experiences and inner journey. Just like
the German Benjamin Hoeber, who is fighting for more
than this year’s overall victory. He has reached a
point in his life where he has to make a final decision:
finally taking a regular job and living a normal life or
keeping to a struggle for a dream that might never come
true – Tour du Faso is his last chance to become a real
cycling pro.

Trains of Thoughts
by Anonymous
With a Syrian lens, and in one of the few films released
in Syria during the revolution, we visit Al-Rastan, a
town in the city of Homs that witnessed military clashes
before other cities, and which after the huge brave
uprising of its people by the beginning of the Syrian
spring, Al-Rastan has been and still is facing a brutal war
against its civilians day and night. The martyr’s funeral
is not only songs and cheering for freedom, there are faces
hiding behind the crowds, eyes filled with tears and
agony, crying the last good-bye to the son or brother.
The storyteller is anonymous, so is the filmmaker; while
the dissident soldier reveals his identity, speaks with
his face uncovered after seeing death, seeing himself a
criminal against his family and deciding to disobey
his commander’s orders.

The Trial
by Daniela Agostini
The Tree Workers Case is the biggest case of human trafficking to be uncovered in the EU in the past two
decades. Approx. 2000 workers, mostly Vietnamese, but
also from new EU countries like Romania and Slovakia,
were systematically exploited in the Czech Republic
between 2009 and 2010. The workers need every cent,
often going into debt at home to pay their traffickers that
abuse them. Police and government seem unable or
unwilling to do anything about it. Despite the extensive
documentation by lawyers and human rights activists
in Prague, not a single case has yet been brought to court.
In this moving doc, the Vietnamese woodsmen that
were lured to Europe and enslaved tell their stories for
the first time, stories of forged documents, inhuman
working conditions, bad equipment, no pay, poor food
and housing, and violent threats.
FILM ID
Anti-terrorist squads descend upon animal rights
activists as if they were the most dangerous enemies of
the state. Although there is no concrete evidence
against them, they are imprisoned for an alleged conspiracy and malicious injury of property. International
media sarcastically report on this judicial farce, which
would become one of the longest trials in Austrian
history. The special authority granted by the so-called
Mafia Paragraph 278a is still used against hundreds
of individuals who take part in political rallies. The film
follows the case as closely as possible from different
angles – members of the police force were not allowed
to speak about the proceedings while the trial still
lasted – but its main focus lies on the fate of some of the
defendants from pre-trial custody release to the
extremely financially and psychologically challenging
trial itself.

by Sebastian Stein
The Yakuza, Japan’s organised crime syndicates, are
a dying breed. Their members are aging and the
government of Japan has launched a large-scale crackdown on them to eradicate them once and for all.
But who are the Yakuza ? Undoubtedly the Yakuza are
involved in crimes including extortion, fraud, murder,
drugs & gambling. However, Japan has one of the
lowest crime rates in the industrialised world, with crimes
related to drugs or street gangs strikingly low, a fact
that many contribute to the presence of the Yakuza.
The Yakuza is a legal, public group making them easy to
check on. Their offices are public, their members
registered by the police and Yakuza members went as far
as freely admitting their guilt in cases of crime investigations, as a part of their code of honour. In reaction to
strict government measures against them, the Yakuza has
ceased all cooperation with the law. This documentary
deals with the struggle of the Yakuza for its survival.
Furthermore, unprecedented access to the secret world
of the Yakuza gives you an insight on who the Yakuza
really are: criminals, outcasts, but also family men and a
part of Japanese society.

At a football stadium in the very heart of Prague the
biggest Czech football match of the year is about to take
place. The live broadcast begins. This time however,
the twenty-two film cameras are not aimed at the pitch,
but at the stands. They record how various people
experience this one shared event. An astonished kid from
the football prep team, a bettor who has put thousands
of crowns on the match result, or a member of the
security service who is there to assure a smooth running
of the event: they all experience it differently. A distinguished literary critic, who is not really interested in
football, a lady who takes care of what goes on in the VIP
lounge, or disoriented Italian tourists who just stare
disbelievingly at it all: they each have a different attitude
too. Each camera presents a unique and authentic
insight into the different levels of the stands, as well as
the different levels of today’s society. Each character
represents a unique version of the same match.

Unfinished Spaces
by Martyn Burke
Only two journalists were killed in World War I. Iraq has
so far claimed 120. The recent Libyan uprising has
already claimed the lives of four and global conflict looks
set to continue … War journalism has become an
increasingly lethal endeavour. Not only are correspondents viewed as targets, they are often subject to kidnappings, torture and even beheadings. Under Fire
weaves together portraits of these journalists and photographers; those who have survived physically, but
have succumbed emotionally to what they have witnessed.
Inspired by the work of Dr Anthony Feinstein,
the psychiatrist who has been on retainer to many of the
world’s major news networks and publications, Under
Fire looks at the psychological cost of war as seen
through the eyes of combat journalists whose stories
make up this powerful and unique film.

In 1961, three young, visionary architects were commissioned by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara to build
Cuba’s National Art Schools. Construction of their radical
designs began immediately and the school’s first classes
soon followed. Dancers, musicians and artists from
all over the country revelled in the beauty of the schools,
but as the dream of the Revolution quickly became a
reality, construction was abruptly halted. The architects
and their designs were deemed irrelevant to the
Revolution. Forty years later the schools are in use, but
remain unfinished and decaying. Castro has since
invited the exiled architects back to Cuba to finish their
unrealised dream. Composed primarily of archival
footage and candid interviews with the architects themselves, Unfinished Spaces illustrates a nation’s evolution
through the life of a single architectural project.

The Venice
Syndrome
by Oliver Hardt
The documentary explores how African-based spirituality has informed America´s popular culture. The old
African gods have taken on new forms since their arrival
on North America’s shores. Their spirit now manifests
in turntable wizardry, improvisational skills and mindblowing collages, performances and rituals. The film
shakes up traditional and stereotypical ways of thinking
about race, religion and rationality. Through meetings
with musicians, writers and artists, healers, gumbo cooks
and Mississippi Blues men, the documentary draws
a picture of a culture which has always drawn on a unique
mix of different ethnic influences to produce its cultural
diversity, allure and vitality.

Venice is pure romance; that which all Europeans yearn
for, the dream of all Americans, the wish of all Japanese.
But the world’s most beautiful city turns into a ghost
town at nightfall. Entire quarters, long since abandoned
by their inhabitants, stand empty, their structures
merely providing a myth to serve business interests.
Twenty million foreigners visited the city last year.
That’s an average of 60,000 a day. And this year it will
be more still. By comparison, there are only 58,000
inhabitants, the same amount as there were after the
Great Plague of 1438. And next year it will be fewer still,
for the city is becoming uninhabitable. Venice’s own
urban life has almost collapsed; it scarcely still exists.
The film shows what remains of Venetian life: a subculture
of tourist service industries; a port for monstrous
cruisers which is waiting to be expanded; Venetians who
are moving to the mainland as there are no longer
affordable apartments to be found; an aged noblewoman
who treats the municipal council with scorn; a
realtor who is considering abandoning the sinking ship.
A Requiem for a still grand city. An illustration of
how common property becomes the prey of few. An elegy
to the last Venetians, their humour and their hearts.

by Maria Zmarz-Koczanowicz
A portrait of Vera Gran – a Jewish singer, very popular in
Poland just before the outbreak of the WW2. Her later
lots, overshadowed by the Holocaust and accusations of
collaboration with the Nazists, spread by some Jewish
intellectuals, are tactfully presented in the documentary
based on a book by Agata Tuszynska, who researched
the topic for almost 10 years. Numerous photographies,
posters and interviews with the singer present an
exceptional life of an individual trying to find a place in
a world dominated by group behavior.

The medium video has fascinated filmmaker Gerd
Conradt from the beginning, since 1969. As a result he
not only became the video pioneer but also a chronicler of this novel too. For Video Vertov Conradt dug deep
into his videotape archives to unearth a wide variety
of film shots. His travels took him from the Italian
lifestyle of the 60s to the communist Berlin and Peking
to the Indian ashram in Poona. Life and death, delays
and revolutions – Conradt has seen and filmed them all.
His role model: Russian film pioneer Dziga Vertov.
Video Vertov is Conradt’s trans-media testament to generation 2.0.

The Wait is a cinematic journey into the lives of three
Finnish families whose loved ones have disappeared
mysteriously. Suspended in a limbo of not being able to
let go or embrace the ones they have lost, the ones
left behind go about their mundane activities, talking to
those they miss in an intimate voice over. The absence
around them is all pervasive, each moment and action
heavy with anticipation.

The Wait
by Mirjam von Arx
Evangelical Christians are calling out for a second sexual
revolution: chastity ! As a counter-movement to the
attitudes and practices of today’s culture, today, one in
eight girls in the U. S. has vowed to remain ‘unsoiled’
until marriage. But the seven children of the Wilson
family, founders of the Purity Ball, take this concept of
purity of body and mind one step further; even their first
kiss will be at the altar. For two years the filmmakers
follow the Wilson’s as some of their children prepare
for their fairytale vision of romance and marriage and
seek out their own prince and princess spouses. In
the process, a broader theme emerges: how the religious
right is grooming a young generation of virgins to
embody an Evangelically-grounded Utopia in America.

The Way to Mecca
by Knut Karger
Warmzeit (i. e. warm period) connects people around
the world whose every-day lives are affected by globalwarming. From Greenland to Namibia it portrays
individuals experiencing the impact of climatic change,
as well as scientists and engineers of alternative
energy technologies. In Africa, a mere two degrees of
warming are going to destroy the foundation of people’s
lives. In Greenland today, farmers can grow vegetables in areas where the ground was permanently
frozen just decades ago. Major contributors to global
climate warming are the industrialized, Western
countries and the CO2 emissions they produce. Human
actions have become a decisive global parameter
and are going to change the face of the world, if we don’t
reconsider our choices.

When Bubbles Burst is the story behind the story:
In a globalized economy it becomes increasingly difficult
for nations, companies and individuals to protect
themselves from today’s extreme financial volatility. The
economic ‘butterfly effect’ makes us all equally vulnerable. In this documentary we will travel from Norway
out into the world in order to examine the mechanics
behind bubbles and crashes, and discuss trends and visions
for the future. We will meet Nobel laureates, worldclass economists, players in the global economic casino
and ‘the little man’. Together they will give an unflinching
account of today’s situation, draw fascinating historical parallels and provide insight needed to better understand the world’s present financial crisis.

Hari, a 30-year-old taxi driver, lives in a small town
in the Himalayan foothills of India. He is getting married
to Suman, a girl he has never met. Tradition dictates
that Hari and Suman will only see each other on the day
of their wedding. But Hari has found another way to
get to know her: on the mobile phone. Over the past few
months they have spoken to each other every day and
have fallen in love. Hari knows that for a girl, marriage is
a traumatic event when she must abandon the comfort
and security of her home and step into a new life with a
stranger. He worries about how it will be when they
finally meet. Hari and Suman see each other properly for
the first time during the wedding ceremony. Will their
telephone love prove strong enough to overcome the awkward obstacles of an arranged marriage ?

Deep in the rain forests of Eastern Java, Indonesia, lies
the active volcano, Kawah Ijen, where 500 sulphur
miners carrying backbreaking loads, traverse treacherous
terrain amidst spectacular vistas and toxic gases.
Where Heaven Meets Hell relays the stories of four of
these miners, who risk their lives and health daily in
an industry we rely on for sugar, matches and cosmetics.
This visually stunning and intimate film chronicles
their attempts to escape the endemic poverty and
lack of education that haunts their community. Drawing
strength from their families and Muslim faith, these
miners inspire us as they search for meaning in their
daily struggles and triumphs.

White Night

Night after night a group of Palestinian women go
on a border-crossing journey from their village, crawling
on the ground through a hole in the fence and into
Jerusalem. Here they pretend to be Israeli, blend into
their surroundings, and go to work in order to support
their children. On these nightly journeys they share
with each other their lives, pain, hopes and dreams. These
women manoeuvre their lives between the men who
forbid them to work and the Israeli soldiers who pursue
them. They risk capture and arrest every night to work
as cleaning ladies in Jerusalem.

a door to new life is opened when Henrik’s wealthy grandfather dies, leaving behind a huge fortune. But at the

failure and betrayal are revealed.

Pascal and Carole are shepherds. In November 2010,
they embark on their long winter transhumance:
four months during which they will have to cover 600
km in the Swiss-French region, accompanied by three
donkeys, four dogs and eight hundred sheep. They
will brave the cold and the bad weather day in day out,
with a canvas cover and animal skins as their only shelter
at night. An odyssey through a region undergoing profound changes that render this kind of expedition more
difficult every year, particularly when the grass for the
sheep has to be found between villas, railroad tracks and
industrial areas. A film dominated by the strong
personalities of Pascal and Carole, whose relationship and
joie de vivre transform this transhumance into a
magnificent hymn to freedom, at opposite extremes of
our comfortable reality. Winter Nomads is an adventure
film, a contemporary road movie, a reflection on our
current world which takes us back to our roots and our
inner questions.

Winter, Go Away ! was filmed by the graduates of
Marina Razbezhkina and Mikhail Ugarov’s Documentary
Filmmaking and Theater School, on the initiative of
Novaya Gazeta, an independent Russian newspaper. Ten
young directors did not part from their cameras for
two months. The result was a chronicle of Russia’s winter
protests – a chronicle of those who make the political
climate and those who are dissatisfied with the makers.
We see people, their faces, their conversations, rallies,
victories and defeats ahead of the presidential election. A
living camera interacts with living heroes. Winter Go
Away is funny in places – and yet contains an overall sadness. Its nearly 80 minutes go by very quickly – so quickly,
that one immediately wonders; what comes next.

On January 8, 1988, when I was 10 years old, my parents
decided to go on vacation and leave me with my
brothers Santiago and Andrés who were 17 and 14 years
old. That day I went to a friend’s birthday party and
they were to pick me up in the afternoon. Night fell and
dawn found me still waiting and watching at the
window. They never arrived. After one year of uncertainty
and anguish, we discovered that on that very same
day my brothers had been kidnapped, tortured, murdered
and kidnapped by the Ecuadorian police for no reason
at all. Their bodies were thrown into Lake Yambo, a
2-hour drive from Quito, but we have never found them.
More than 20 years after their disappearance a new
search is carried out in Lake Yambo and my personal rediscovery of the story I had only partially experienced
earlier begins to unravel. This documentary emphasizes
the power memory has in keeping us alive.

Bassam and Rami, a Palestinian and an Israeli, were
once dedicated fighters willing to kill and be killed by one
another for the sake of their nations. Yet each one of
them came face to face with the price of war when their
daughters were killed in the conflict. Left with the
excruciating pain of bereavement, they chose to do the
unexpected. They set out on a joint journey to humanize
the very enemy, which took the dearest thing from
them and prevent the vicious cycle of retaliation in themselves and their societies. Along the way they reveal
the friendship and humour that keeps them alive. The
film follows their two parallel stories and the moments
where they converge, both in their personal experiences and peace work as they face their shattered families,
confused communities and opposing societies. This
is a critical junction in both their lives, as their life mission
and personal agenda clash and they stand the biggest
test to their friendship.

Twenty young women from across India arrive for an
intense, month-long beauty boot camp – they are
the hand-picked contestants for the Miss India pageant.
Winning the coveted title means instant stardom, a
lucrative career path and freedom from the constraints
of a patriarchal society. In another corner of India
we visit a camp for young girls run by the militant fundamentalist movement. Through lectures and physical
combat training, the girls learn what it means to be good
Hindu women. Moving between the transformative
action at both camps and the characters’ private lives,
The World Before Her creates a lively, provocative portrait
of the world’s largest democracy at a critical transitional moment.

In the ruined cemetery in Gorlice, in Southern Poland
there is the grave of the tzaddik, a holy master, forgotten
years ago by the world. For 30 years now, devout Meir
Moszkowicz climbs on the top of a quiet provincial town
cemetery from crowded Bnei Brak in Israel. Gorlice
is a place where the meaning of life was revealed to Meir
along with the mystic presence of his beloved master.
So he takes care of master’s grave and the cemetery, he
befriends the locals and when he returns to Israel wakes
up each day thinking about its holy place. Yortzeit tells
the miraculous story of the sage, who embarks with love,
faith and joy on a difficult trip to Poland.
