- DirectorChristian HornungDecades ago, they ended up in St. Pauli, a borough in the port city of Hamburg, Germany, hoping to escape the narrow-minded confines of the petit bourgeoisie, looking for work and a different kind of life. They struggled as dancers and strippers, barkeepers, sailors and pimps. Now they turn up at their favorite watering holes in broad daylight - the Hong Kong, the Utspann and the Kaffeepause (Coffee Break) - reminiscing about when they were in their primes. Telling stories about gold hunting, sinking ships, the old days in the St. Pauli red light district and contraband crocodiles. And of course the savings clubs, which they continue to be members of to this day, even though they don't consider themselves the money-saving types - they're live-for-today kind of people. When the money was rolling in, they spent it freely, never considering the future. But that savings club case hanging on the bar wall gave them a chance to keep a few marks, a few euros safe - first and foremost from themselves. A little nest egg to get by with. And so these divey establishments and their savings clubs became a home and an anchor to them through the years.

- DirectorMatan PeerStarsKobi FarhiUri ZilchaYossi SassiDocumentary film about an Israeli metal band called "Orphaned Land". Includes personal interviews with all the members of the band, also artists like Steven Wilson & Marty Friedman, Israeli Rabbi, first ever interview with the band's lyrics writer, Israeli fans, and Arab fans from Egypt, Saudi Arabia & Turkey, who admit their opinion about Israel has changed thanks to Orphaned Land. Also includes rare archive materials like the band's first show (from 1991), rehearsal and first home-made interview the band made in high school. The film deals with music, texts, the band's history from the first day until today, politics, religion, middle east problems and many more. During concerts of Orphaned Land you can see Jews and Arabs singing together parts from the Koran/Bible in peace. You can see from interviews with the Jewish and Arab fans, that it is possible for peace to be achieved even outside of the music bubble. If an Arab fan and Jewish fan like the same song and same band, this could be the initial starting point towards the union of the cultures. It's a film about metal, peace and music.
