Missing Danes
1900
Denmark
Many people disappear without a trace every year all over the world. Television has capitalized on these mysterious stories by making dramatic searches for these people in popularprograms. Danish television has produced a series of programs in which the producer tries to find these people. In the case of Jurgen Kirk, who seems to have deriberately disappeared from his family, the television crew pursues the investigation along with his son. Is the intrusion on the private life of this man without his consent the legitimate role of television? |

The filmmarker has been filming his mother for twenty years. Here, he combines his archives footage with the documentation of the very end of her life, including the slow and pinful process of her death. Without any dramatization the film draws the daily life of an old woman who is fading away in a nursing home, but not without the intimate and delicate demostration of the filmmaker´s deep love for his mother. Is he going to far to show so graphically and explicity the deterioration of human body and the final moment of death? Perhaps this is not only a general question of ethics, but also the need to understand what is culturally acceptable to show on the screen. |

Sweden
Documentary
In an investigation over a period of two years, the filmmaker placed himself at the center of the European, neo-Nazi scene there he discovers the extent of the international network, which is alarmingly extensive and complex and involves a number of highly placed personages. Although in this film he continually reminds of his position, the subjects are allowed to express themselves and to voice their ideas: revisionism, violence, racial hatred, and call to arms. The program itself becomes a battleground of convictions.

Drama documentary
The program reconstructs the interrogation of the Argentine torturer by a lawyer of the Sabato commission. The film’s dialogue faithfully respects the transcripts of the actual interrogation. The filmmaker has chosen a very stylized “mise en scene” to delve into this terrifying face-to-face confrontation of fascination and hate.

Parler Pour Parler
00:53:30
1991
Canada
“Parler pour parler” is a Canadian success story. This success is mainly dues to the fact that its creator (the hostess in particular) are being sensitive to social and cultural situations in French Canadian society. A common format –a studio debate- but this studio has been transformed into a dining room, no doubt to encourage confessions. The episode presented here unites parents whose children have been brutally murdered. The participants eat and chat, between courses, about the violent death of their own children. One was run over by a drunk driver, another murdered by her father, others killed in equally horrible circumstances.

Louisette B., a 58 year old woman, spent her childhood in various orphanages. At 18 she was incarcerated with a feeling of personal injustice. We meet her 40 years later as she still continues to claim her innocence. Alone, she holds demonstrations in the streets and denounces her country’s justice system. She has also started to paint, in the secret of her apartment. Her drawings depict a world inhabited with victims of social injustice. This intimate portrait, produced within the frame of a cultural series, has an intense emotional value.

An example of television drama where the actor communicates directly with the camera. It’s made on a show-string budget by one of the smaller broadcasting companies in Holland and is one of 25 episodes. It tells the story of and old Jew who is awaiting birth of his first grandson. He stays close to the phone impatiently waiting for the call and his memories drift back to the War and the birth of his own son.

“Conflictos” is an extremely popular Cuban television serial. The unchanging scene is set in the office of a marriage counselor and her secretary. The comedy situations created and scripted in opportunism and hypocrisy in the difficult times of “rectification” in Cuba. These serious issues are effectively dealt with through the use of satire, irony and humor.

The first part of this program is a fascinating insight into a musician and the interpretation of his work. The program invites us to a private recital where the master, Messianen, scrutinizes his score while his famous pianist wife, Yvonne Loriod, in turn scrutinizes the complex phrasing by a brilliant young pianist as she plays her husband’s most difficult piece. The program is part profile part master class, as we see Loriod drill her pupils. |
