L'amour La mort
Every love, no matter how happy, sooner or later ends unhappily; either due to loss, due to death, or due to a broken bond. These are all sides of the same medal. Why do we love others if love can hurt us so much? Wouldn’t it be safer not to love? In this documentary, several people who have been profoundly confronted with love and death in their lives, provide glimpses of the enigma of love, based on their personal stories. On Freud’s famous couch, they are questioned about their experiences. Their stories are interwoven with timeless works from the history of painting and music. When words are not adequate, there is art and music.

They will put together a group of international swimmers to do something that has never been done: to swim across the Dead Sea, from Jordan to Israel. The film follows this extraordinary and dangerous action, hoping to achieve media exposure to drive the region’s countries to act. However, the friendship between the trio is tricky, and the political realities and personal baggage that each one must deal with are explored. The only chance for saving the Sea lies in connecting people, bridging their divisions for the greater good. The trio are willing to take the risks because they understand their steps of trust are the only way to create change. One swim at a time.
Panthera Britannia
‘Panthera Britannia’ is a feature-length documentary exploring the unusual phenomenon of the United Kingdom’s population of mysterious large cats, which are alleged to be prowling the wilderness and countryside of rural Britain. Britain has a long, colourful and complicated history of having a diverse exotic pet trade; from the days of the old British Empire, until the mid-20th century, it was deemed an indicator and symbol of status, wealth and fashion to own exotic pets, (especially big cats). Incidents and reports spiralled out of control in the 1960s; and with the later introduction of the Dangerous Wild Animals Act in 1976, the situation only intensified, as some exotic cat owners who were unable to afford the new licences required to legally retain their pets, set about deliberately releasing their privately owned big cats in preference of having them terminated. Reports and sightings of big cats in Britain continue to this day.

Prometheus. The Poem of the Kazan Fire
The employees of Prometheus were known as brilliant engineers capable of solving problems of a cosmic scale in the truest sense of the word — they, among other things, developed light-and-life devices for the interior design of spacecraft. The ideologist of the team Bulat Galeev was in correspondence with the classics of experimental art: Nicolas Schaeffer, Frank Malina, Yanis Xenakis, Lev Theremin, and although in Soviet times the bureau could not fully participate in the international art process, today many European institutions work with its archives. Didar Orazov's film, which includes digitized archival materials and new interviews with eyewitnesses of the heyday of Prometheus, is an attempt to touch an original phenomenon that the entire Soviet (and not only) intellectual world watched with awe in the second half of the XX century, to tell about what was behind the inspired experiments, about sincere love towards the future and endless curiosity.
Bygone Visions of Cosmic Neighbors
Before the dawn of the space age, it was difficult to gauge the feasibility of life beyond Earth. Was Earth the sole harbor of life, or did intelligent beings permeate the heavens? The impenetrable clouds of Venus, indistinct shadings on Mars, and imagined structures on the Moon allowed scientists and science fiction authors alike to populate the Solar System with cosmic neighbors.
His Name Is My Name
Eline Jongsma’s great-grandfather was known as “Crazy Gerrit.” This was a rather innocent nickname considering who he actually was: the ruthless, violent mayor of the town of Krommenie, Netherlands, during the Second World War, and a fanatical member of the NSB—the Dutch Nazi party. After the war ended, his children disowned him out of shame, and his great-granddaughter grew up unaware of his existence. But no secret can stay buried forever.
