Russia
Documentary
A story of a woman who lived through all the most dramatic events in 20th century Russia – almost too much for one lifetime. “Alone” is a voyage through the past and the present. It blurs the line between actual and archival footage, between the personal and the public and creates a poetic portrait of life.

Germany
Documentary
A highly irreverent and entertaining approach to a sincere examination of the European myth of Africa, in this case, in the German imagination. This fast-paced collage of Nazi movie clips, East and West German newsreels and interviews eschews voice-over narration and dares to raise questions without providing answers. A complicated project that required unwavering faith to get produced and aired.

The work of Portugese poet Fernando Pessoa is presented as a modern dance combined with computer-animated images – a visual experiment to express and recreate Pessoa´s thoughts. Does this approach does justice to a poet? Can this film be considered a portrait of the writer? And does a TV audience have the patience to absorb this staged creativity?

Life portraits of artists are difficult cases both for broadcasters and filmmakers. Gaston Chaissac´s life has never before been portrayed. A sketcher, painter, writer, inventor, he used the most unusual materials – from zinc sheets to crushed pans and cupboard doors. Through his own words, this film brings the artist out of his solitude and public oblivion, giving us the true pleasure of discovery.

Wooden beds, iron beds, historical remakes, slim-line modernism, hammocks, mats, cardboard boxes and the ultimate resting place. The filmmaker is looking for a bed, and the broadcaster a hook for his documentary series. This turns out to be a unique, tender, perturbing and wonderous Colombian odyssey.

One often gets treated according to how one is dressed. True or false? How about uniforms? How do people react to them? And women in uniform – parking attendants, nurses, or the convicts and wardens of a women´s prison just south of Sydney, Australia – what do they have to say? The irreverent Elle McFeast asks questions and gets answers that are not always what we expect.
