The hiroy at last recounts feelings, after all that’s whats left - feelings - before our histories become swollen with pride and a capital H. “56 fois et encore” is a subjective journey into the Hungarian revolution observed through archive records, a dive into the heart of the 1950s of communist Europe: productivism, lies, treason, amnesia, an epoch which should by now be rembered.

We follow the process of their creation and then their life within the world that surrounds them, that of nature and man. They both correspond and contrast with these places and reflect a fragile and ephemeral world.

He couldn’t imagine that some men could send others so far away. (excerpt from the film) Le cercle des noyés (the drowned men) is the name given in Mauritania to black political prisoners imprisonned from 1987 in the old colonial fortress of Oualata. This film touches on the fragile process of unveiling memories by one of these former prisoners who remebers his story and that of his companions. In a visual echo, the places of their confinement come one after another denuded from any traces of that past.

(Sub-titles : french, english) Ulrike Knorr offers us an imaginary stay aboard the MS Völkerfreundschaft, a holiday boat which, up until 1985, carried meritorious workers, winners of the national lottery, sick people on cures as well as the regime’s privileged ones. The journey centres on human beings and their stories, people taken off on a historic movement that is above and beyond them. The cruise brings out all the contradictions of freedom on this boat. It also puts forth the idea of a boat as a “replica of the GDR”, an island and a world of luxury on foreign seas.

By the end of the sixties, after having participated in students' movements against the japonese alliance with the USA, he was obliged by the autorithies to leave Harimano, his native village in the mountains of Shizuoka. His ideology, in Japan considered as radical, has even more divided Yasuo from his origins and from Harimano, a place where medieval feudalism and a devotion to the imperial authority characterizes the life of the people. Physically and culturally uprooted, Yasua now perceives difficulties to face the return to his origins. He seems litre a sad man, getting old and succumbing to alcoholism. Yasuo's daughter, who immigrated to Europe, is looking for her cultural anchors, too. She proposes him a journey, backwards from Tokyo to Harimano, in order to retrace the thread of his own history and maybe find the fundaments of his conviction.

The film concentrates on elderly people, on their place in society, their dreams, their worries. For although old age is looked upon as a serious illness that must be combated, that is hidden, or ignored, the fact remains that elderly people have many things to pass on to us: they are our roots, our memory. Gradually blurring the borders, we go from one subway to the other, from one person to another. Despite the distances that separate people, they are the same everywhere. The cycles of life are the same all over the world: we are born, we grow old, then we die. It is the codes that are different.

The Endless caravan is a documentary rod-movie which follows two second-generation moroccans from the West as they undertake this intensive trip with their families. Along the road, the joys and sorrows of their personal journeys lead us into the issues at the heart of their existence. Underneath the surface of our traveling protagonists lingers a deep-roted indentity crisis which confronts them every day of their lives. Both born and raised in Belgium, they face this struggle in different ways. For them, the annual trip is both a metaphor and a catalyst for a double-life with one foot in the west and another in Morocco.

It wasn't a mythical tree, but rather one that could be anywhere. On my way, I met men and women who shared their perception of this quest and in doing so, in a roundabout way they shared some of their visions of the world and of existence. For some, my tree was the sign from the spirits, of the invisible or a call from light. For others, it was the symbol of a history, a culture or the end of a period in time. For yet others, it was a tree that you see only when you get lost... This documentary film, Far away roots, is a poetic journey in search of elsewhere and in search of the other ways of thinking. It's also the story of an unfinished love for a women who stayed behind...

It begins with the Origins and then embarks upon a journey through the world of the tree and the trees of the world. The film reveals the huge differences and slight similarities between the tree and Man, investigating the fascinating idea that, amongst plants, the tree fulfils the role played by man in the animal kingdom. Arbres is a voyage through a new dimension of the time and space, in which we meet trees that talk and walk, that are sometines shy and sometime crazy ... Arbres will challenge some received ideas, starting with the premise that though we often notice the animals that run along a tree's branches, we rarely notice the tree itself.

After some four months of travel towards Belgium, they are exhibited before a million visitors. Subjected to the crushing gaze of the "Whites" and the cold climate many fall prey to disease ... some lose their lives. The dead were hastily dispatched in a common grave, sparking a fierce debate in Belgian society. The project was overblown, but necessary in the eyes of the first coloni-sers, who presumed to have tamed the far-flung savages ... One hundred years later, Congolese compatriots return to the scene of these events and question the "Whites" of today on the incredible story of that "human zoo". They carry out the ritual of "a return to the earth" by way of reparation for too great a hurt ... A film that revisits a century of stereotyped conceptions about the Africans. And running through it, the almost aching question: "How is today different?"

A man and five women reveal to us the relation between the East and cooking and hospitality. Cooking may be a source of alienation, a hindrance to freedom, but also a source of enjoyment, happiness and the pleasure of giving.

The film follows the handling of twosales transactions, an inventory and a inheritance case. The firm becomes the scene of property and financial deals, private conversations and secret exchanges, in short, the comedy of human life. The importance of words and the scrutiny of such details as gestures, attitudes and looks reveal certain ways of the relating to the outside wolrd, notably in matters of death and money.

The film is shot in lack-and-white, thus moving the landscape and people to a discrete distance from which, through the paradox of fleeting observation, it brings them closer. Through te way she structures her images and observations, Annik Leroy is also taking stock of the 20th Century. So many polical movements have shaped and disfigured the face of Europe during this time. With a glint of melancholy passion, a Viennese café owner remembers the plaintive atmosphere of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Scenes shot in Vienna's Karl-Marx-Hof tell of the Febuary battles of the early Thirties. Annik Leroy, uses a long shot to recall the holocaust and mauthausen concentration camp. Vers la mer is a documentary which evokes contradictory emotions and sensations. The borders between the countries the Danube crosses on its way to the sea are like thresholds from one form of life to another. On the border between Austria and Hungary it reports about the fear socialist ideology instilled into the minds and bodies of the local population Director Script Photography Photography Sound Sound Editing Mixing Annik Leroy Marie Vermeiren Annik Leroy Marie Vermeiren Annik Leroy Marie Vermeiren Eva Houdova Roland Boon Festivals Festival de Berlin, Festival de Dunkerke, FIFF de Namur, Festival du nouveau cinéma de Montréal, Rencontres cinématographiques Le Fresnoy, Festival de Bruxelles, Festival du film de femmes à Créteil, Mostra Internationale de films de Dones - Barcelone, Festival Media 21 - Hanover, Telluride International Film Festival Colorado, Ajijik Festival International de Cine - Jalisco (Mexique).- Objectif doc de Paris (France) 2005 Prices Prix des écrans documentarys de Gentilly 1999Prix du meilleur documentary au An Arbor FestivalMention spéciale au Festival “Filmer à tout prix”, prix Scam du documentary udiovisuel 2001 Diffusions RTBF (B), H.O.S.

This film takes a look at a generation just starting to emerge : a generation of dynamic and concerned retirees. In their confiding tones- between two errands in Brussels streets, in the smart tea-rooms of the beaux quartiers,or in the eateries of the city's less affluent neighbourhoods - we hear them sum up or enlarge upon the day's events with all savour of the good Belgian cooking.

Ana Torfs serene and severe film looks at Van Beethoven's life through the unique records left in these conversation books. They contain the words that were literally addressed to the deaf composer during some of the most important phases of this last years; they "conserve" as it were, what happened all around him. "Zyklus von Kleinigkeiten" (cycle of trifles) provides an insight, albeit literally one-sided, into his every day life and creates a unique picture of Beethoven in his natural environnement through very stylized and timeless black-end-white scenes.

These comic heroes, Africa's answer to Laurel and Hardy, were the delight of Congolese movie-goers. Never viewed outside the continent, the films were to disappear at the close of the colonial périod. Tristan Bourlard has now recovered the oiginal negatives in Belgium. Fifty years after their creation, this film reveals these hidden gems and tells their strange story. Matamata and Pilipili are back on the screen.

Belgian by adoption, she returns to the country where she was born and whose language she never learned. But beyond the subdued stereotypes of everyday life? The filmmaker goes out to meet the country's men and women. And there where nature and men's lives unfold, there will always be sounds that break the silence, even in "the land of morning cam" Thanks to Mi Kyong - the interpreter who became the central figure of the film - we delve a bit deeper into daily existence of these people across the globe, whose singular communist experience has extended over more than fifty years.

Sighted people are placed in a simulated situation close to that of blind people, in an environment subjected to absolute darkness. Blind people guide them. Their encounter continues outside the exhibit in normal light. The film takes place alternatively in the light and in the dark. Beyond these relationships, the film aims to look at prejudice or acceptation of differences – those between blind and sighted people and, more generally, those between perceptions of reality.

To him drawing came as naturally as breathing and from childhood he never ceased to portray images of violence. In his frenzied search for an identity, Stéphane obsessively and repetitively committed to paper anything which came into his head. Being a jew, he used Yddish in his drawings because of its grafic qualities. He painted portraits of such disquieting and mythical figures as Pasolini, Rimbaud and Bacon. He painted larger than life images of creatures of the night, as well as a scries of self-portaits in which he représented himself as deformed and mutilated. During the final two years of his life, Stéphane was an neighbour of the director, and they met almost daily. Stéphane was murdered at the age of 25.

Inspired by the music, the man, the spirituality of the work - and the mystery surrounding its composition, Greek conductor Stavros Xarhakos had a vision. A spectacular performance of the original composition proven to be written by the composer himself within the last month of his life, enhanced by the awesome setting of Meteora. A natural wonder composed of more than a thousand fossile rocks rising 300 meters and crowned with tiny monasteries. A forest of heavenly rocks, a divine landscape which touches the soul with its austere majesty. A mystical experience, Night to Light expresses the dimension of feelings and sensations associated with Mozart's words, "the night of death and the light that exists after the dead" A performance which begins in a Greek amphitheatre opposite Meteora on a summer night under a full moon and ends with the first rays of dawn, Night to light reflects the universality of Mozart's Requiem. Promise for the future, free from any form of ideology. Night to Light is truly a legacy of hope.
