- Why do we throw away so much food? And how can we stop this kind of waste?Amazing but true: On the way from the farm to the dining-room table, more than half the food lands on the dump. Most of it before it ever reaches consumers.
- This film tells the compelling story of an extraordinary woman's journey from her birth in a paper thin shack in the cotton fields of Georgia to her recognition as a key writer of the twentieth Century.Walker made history as the first black woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for her groundbreaking novel, The Color Purple. A universal story of triumph against all odds not that different from Walker's own. Born, the eight child of sharecroppers, her early life unfolded in the midst of violent racism and poverty during some of the most turbulent years of social/political changes in the U.S. The film offers a penetrating look at the life and art of an artist, a self confessed renegade and human rights activist.
- Every day, Johan Puig drives 50 laps in an old 2CV around Camp Nou, FC Barcelona's stadium, to bring good luck to his team. Just like the old days, when his father would take him for this lap. And it works, because Barca's been doing great.
- Meredith Monk has alternately been proclaimed as a 'magician of the voice' and 'one of America's coolest composers.' During a career that spans more than 40 years, Monk has been acclaimed by audiences and critics as a major creative force in the performing arts. In the film Inner Voice, we follow Monk during the process of making her latest piece, Songs of Ascension, at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and at Ann Hamilton's Tower in California. We observe how Monk's productions are shaped, beginning with her initial work in solitude continuing on to the rehearsal process where she further develops her musical and choreographic forms with her Ensemble members. In Monk's work, this is an ongoing process. Even at the performance stage, Monk continues to transform the work by striving for a balance between discipline and freedom; and an openness to change. Inner Voice sets out to locate the motivation and source of Monk's creative force. There are no ready made answers.
- A German documentary studying concepts of hell developed over time in Christianity, Judaism and Islam, often overlapping -but not in Catholicism- with purgatory. Special attention goes to 'physical' methods of torture in the afterlife, as in Dante's Inferno. Their inspiration stems partially from judicial torments, as used during the Inquisition to redeem 'Satanic' sinners, from witches and heretics to mere gay people. Also treated is hell's theological and 'educational' meaning.
- Ringu Tulku Rinpoche is a Buddhist teacher from Tibet. He is a master of the Kagyu Order, trained in all schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Despite his nickname of "The Lazy Lama" he teaches Buddhism and meditation at over 50 universities and Buddhist centres across the world. His many projects include monasteries, hospitals and retreats. He's written many books about Buddhism as well as several children's books. The film shows Ringu Tulku not only as a Buddhist master and teacher - it also offers a personal, humorous and honest insight into his family and working life. It shows Ringu Tulku preparing four students for a retreat which lasts three years, three months and three days, in Sikkim, North India. Spending time with the Lazy Lama gives the audience the opportunity to reflect on their own lives, and find ways to create more room for spirituality, meditation, empathy and the right kind of "laziness".
- Documentary about generations of Chinese women with sexuality as the start point.
- In a slightly super national print shop an abundance of manuals is produced. No problem, however peculiar, goes it without its brochures. Leaflets come to life, addressing manifold issues: avoiding fatal penile shrinkage, surviving the boredom of paradise, how did I get into this duck decoy. Highly eclectic in sub matter and design, in this film we find that putting our own view into perspective can be a quite pleasant experience.
- A journey based on tales of the wind, about life and death, through the land of the kuraï (tumbleweed), where nothing is as it seems.
