RIPHAGEN
Pieter Kuijpers
The true story of Andries Riphagen,
one of Holland’s most notorious criminals during the Second World War.
Rather than being a story about a

RIPHAGEN is a story of a perpetrator, a
man who made himself rich through
black-market trading in goods left behind by the Jews, and by tracking
down and blackmailing Jews in hiding.
He was to blame for the deaths of at
least 200 people, but was never convicted.

ADIOS AMIGOS
Albert Jan van Rees
A fun road-movie about three disabled friends who will stop at nothing
to get what they want: sex. But en
route they find much more than what
they were looking for
Three disabled friends are fed up with
the fact that no woman ever shows interest in them. Philip (25), Lars (24)
and Joost (31) hire a driver to take
them to Salou in Spain where all the
girls want to have sex. But during the
trip they are confronted with their dependency on others, and they can’t
keep their fears and secrets hidden
any more. The journey becomes less
about sex and more about friendship.
In the end the journey itself, not their
destination, brings them the satisfaction they crave.

1888: a luthier has to step aside when
his home opposite the Central Station
in Amsterdam, must yield for the planned Victoria Hotel. His cousin, pharmacist in the countryside, has gotten

himself and his wife Martha, but also

he was a pastry chef. Everyday he
would rise before dawn to make many
kinds of pastries and cakes. Then, one
day, everything changes. War breaks
out in the south and Toda's father has
to defend his country. Toda is sent to
stay with her mother, who lives in a
neighbouring land... not a simple journey in wartime. But Toda is a plucky
girl who doesn't give up easily - she is
determined to find her mother. An adventurous story with laughs, thrills and
emotion.

In 2005, after lengthy negotiations, an

would be deepened so that the largest
sea-faring vessels could now reach
Antwerp, and at the same time the natural world in the area would be restored. Nine years later the agreement
has still not been honoured by the
Dutch and an unprecedented battle of
opinions and counter-opinions about
the nature restoration project continues to rage.

The beauty and suffering of a country

BURMA STORYBOOK is a parade of characters, poems and cinema verité scenes set in this enchantingly beautiful

for his lost son, who lives in political
exile in Finland, and his long-awaited

DESTINATION BERLIN
Rosemarie Blank
DESTINATION BERLIN shows images from
the lives of immigrants and
a native ‘Berliner’. Though never '

can make a home anywhere.
From my perspective as a foreigner in

about the feelings of foreigners who
see Berlin as their home, but who also
don’t feel ‘at home’ anywhere. For the
Slovenian 'butterfly man', who lives
like a nomad, Berlin is also a hunting
place for insects. Two Congolese brothers struggle with the tragic death of
their father, a comrade of Patrice Lumumba. Eva-Maria, a pure-bred Berliner and once a fashion model, now
runs a fur shop in a poor district populated by many immigrants.

A FAMILY AFFAIR
Tom Fassaert
Tom Fassaert explores the history of
his family, one that is characterized
by conflict. His journey becomes complicated when his grandmother
makes an unexpected confession.
On his 30th birthday, Tom Fassaert
receives a mysterious invitation from
his 95-year-old grandmother Marianne
to come and visit her in South Africa.
At that time, he only knows her from
myths and predominantly negative
stories told by his father. She was a
femme fatale, a famous model in the
1950s and a mother who put her sons
into a children’s home. Fassaert
accepts her invitation. Then his
grandmother makes an unexpected
confession, making his venture more
complicated than he could have
imagined.

FORGET ME NOT

It takes devotion to teach kids that
are facing deportation. It takes
determination to teach kids arriving
from a war zone.
At first glance De Verrekijker looks like
a normal Dutch primary school. However, the boys and girls are all children
of rejected asylum seekers. Headmaster Toon and the teachers do all they
can to give them the best education.
Yet each morning they worry if any
pupil has been forced to leave the
country. After a series of deportations
it becomes increasingly difficult to provide the children with a safe haven.
The situation escalates when a group

An ode to the uncontrollable,
irrational and insane parts of our
existence, in the form of a cinematic
immersion into the waves of sleep.
The night has always been a source
for mysterious stories and experiences. In dreams we enter another world
in which everything is possible.
Dreams, nightly fears and unexplainable sleeping disorders no longer have
a place in our society. In a time where
everything needs to be explained
away, soothing stories about vampires, ghosts and gods have had to
make way for neurological facts. Yet
science doesn't always have the answers to strange phenomena that make

ONE LIFE IS NOT ENOUGH
Annette Apon
Fien de la Mar (1898-1965) was an
actress whose extraordinary talent
only brought her misery and
misfortune.
Fien de la Mar (1898-1965) was an exceptional actress: cabaret performer,
singer, but also a great tragedienne.
Her life and her acting were intrinsically linked: a tragedy from which sublime accents were given form on
stage. Through film fragments and
photos the film evokes an image of the
magic of her acting, and the euphoria
and despair in her life. In the soundtrack we hear a play of sound from her
film scenes and quotes from interviews about her.

Small local farmers are essential for
food provision but are chased off
their land by large multinationals
that only produce for export,
destroying the soil in the process.
Almost three quarters of available
agricultural land in Cambodia has
been sold to companies that produce
for export only. As this is disastrous
for local food production, the World
Food Program supports vulnerable
parts of the population with food supplies. In the meantime, the exile of the
farmers continues. Since 2003, more
than 400.000 Cambodians have been
chased away because of this corporate land grabbing.

WAITING FOR GIRAFFES
Marco de Stefanis
Dr. Sami, the vet of Palestine’s
only zoo, wants international
recognition in order to improve his
establishment. But he will need the
help of the Israelis…
In the Palestinian village of Qalqilya,
surrounded mainly by Israeli wall, who
is the more constrained, the citizens or
the zoo animals? Many of the animals
were killed during the intifada and the
situation is extremely difficult, but Dr.
Sami, the zoo’s vet, is determined to
bring back life to the zoo in the form of
two new giraffes. However, the country’s grim political circumstances and
the incredible task of meeting European zoo standards can test even the
most resourceful of vets...

WELCOME HOME
Frans Bromet
A feud that has split his own Jewish
family leads filmmaker Frans Bromet
to a new understanding of the
ongoing conflict in Israel.
Despite having a Jewish father, filmmaker Frans Bromet doesn't consider
himself a Jew. But when he sets foot
on Israeli soil it feels like coming
home. In Israel he meets Dutch Jews
who made aliyah, moved to the Holy
Land, and his aunt and two second
cousins whom he has never met because of a family conflict. After he disentangles the roots of the feud he
wonders how if such minor misunderstandings can lead to conflicts in his
own family what hope can there be of
solving the Middle East’s problems?

YOUNG WRESTLERS
Mete Gümürhan
The struggles and triumphs of
26 teenagers who dream of being
international wrestling champions,
while facing the usual challenges
of adolescence in Turkey.
Muhammed, Beytullah and Baran live
in rural villages surrounding Amasya,
a picturesque Anatolian city situated in
a narrow mountain valley. They live together with 23 other teenagers, all
aged 10-18 and from poor families, in
the Wrestling Training Centre. The film
focuses on the struggles, friendships
and triumphs of these potential
(inter)national champions, all living in
a male dominated environment that
contrasts greatly with contemporary
Turkey.

Animated biography with surprising twist of the

a very large group. JUST A BIOPIC therefore is a
pamphlet; it is an indictment of how society is
dealing with the lives of some individuals
