Bernd's car breaks down. The road is deserted. Frighteningly so. He contacts a towing service. He waits. He sleeps. Suddenly there?s a knock on his window. It?s Klytaemnestra on crutches, asking for a lift. But obviously he can?t help her. Quite annoyed, she limps away. On the spur of the moment Bernd follows her, trying to gain her trust. Very unexpectedly she kisses him.

Together they move on, but Klytaemnestra?s husband appears, trying to bar their way. But Bernd knocks him down to save her. They get into the husband?s Jeep and drive into the night, when a tractor, with a trailer full of pigs, blocks the road. It?s Klytaemnestra?s son, he came to stop her. The animals panic, when a shot goes off. Bernd looses consciousness. He wakes up and looks around. Klytaemnestra is gone. He is alone ? except from some pigs romping about in the grass.....

Elisabeth Hartnagel, now eighty-five, is the last surviving sister of Hans and Sofie Scholl, the German teenagers who were executed by the Nazis for openly defying the criminal regime. In this gripping film project, Hanna Laura tells the story of Sofie?s twin sister, who was unlike her in so many ways. The film also illuminates the social and cultural background of the Scholl family for the first time and shows how strongly Hans and Sophie Scholl were motivated by their family context.

?THE DEAD BROTHERS ? Death Is Not The End?, is the intimate portrait of three musicians that couldn?t be any more different.

Alain Croubalian, son of an Armenian Immigrant and a Swiss nurse,

Pierre Omer, son of an Indian Historian and a Genevan mother, as well as Delaney Davidson, a New Zealand native Troubadour and world traveller are the core of one of the most idiosyncratic and unique bands of our time ? THE DEAD BROTHERS.

This film however is not merely a music documentary; it?s rather an exploration of their individual personalities and how their unique biographies have shaped their music.

Alain Croubalian explains what impact the Armenian genocide and the resulting Diaspora had on his family and ultimately on his personal development. He also describes how his life as an immigrant in N. American resulted in his die hard nonconformist stance.

Pierre Omer offers a melancholic and at times ironic insight into his creative process and his personal battle between irony and tragedy.

Delaney Davidson openly discusses his own mortality and which role humour plays in dealing with it.

The bands? music reflects their Babylonian biographies;

Blues meets Chanson, Gypsy Swing meets Vaudeville and Brecht & Weil go for a drink with Hank Williams somewhere in St. Pauli, New York or Marseille.

The bands? provocative yet cheerful performances have meanwhile achieved world wide cult status.

The film shows the band not only on stage at large clubs but also joins them at spontaneous street concerts and jam sessions.

To wrap it all up, we?d like to say we believe to have made a paradoxal film, a balancing act between melancholy and exuberance, as well as existential questions and black slapstick humour.

In the style of silent films, but accompanied by narration, young lovers discover the conflict between ideals and reality in the light of an autumn forest. The man compares his love to the ideal of an Italian novella, but must conclude that such ideals are unattainable and therefore his love is in vain. Ultimately, however, the lovers retreat from ideals and focus once again on themselves, which allows the story to come to a happy ending.

In a world with so many stories Nathlie el-Jorr, Anna Myung-Sook Kim and Karoline Schwikal, betook theirselves to a countr, nestled between the improbable borders of Syria and Israel, to show the lives of young people caught up by the tide of its development. Lebanon. In view of their final project they decided an a creative cinematic piece of work, that ought to be challenging and influential at the same time.

Inspired by Stanislav Lem?s short story about the cosmonaut Ijon Tichy, ?X? is a bizarre space adventure about an astronaut who loses his own individuality and must prevail against near endless copies of himself. Loss of identity and individuality is the theme of this humorous animated film.
