'Three Minutes: A Lengthening' muestra una película casera rodada por David Kurtz en 1938 en un pueblo judío de Polonia e intenta posponer su final. Siempre y cuando estemos viéndola, la historia no se va a terminar. Los tres minutos de grabación, mayormente en color, son las únicas imágenes en movimiento que quedan de los habitantes judíos de Nasielsk antes del Holocausto. Los tres minutos existentes son examinados para desentrañar las historias que esconde el celuloide. La grabación está editada de forma imaginativa para crear un documental que dura más de una hora. Las diferentes voces mejoran las imágenes. Glenn Kurtz, el nieto de David Kurtz, aporta sus conocimientos sobre la grabación. Maurice Chandler, que aparece en el documental de niño, comparte sus recuerdos. La actriz Helana Bonham Carter narra el ensayo de la película.

For her extraordinary film essay, Living the Light, Director and Director of Photography Claire Pijman had access to the thousands of Hi8 video diaries, pictures and Polaroids that Müller photographed while he was at work on one of the more than 70 features he shot throughout his career; often with long term collaborators such as Wim Wenders, Jim Jarmusch and Lars von Trier. The film intertwines these images with excerpts of his oeuvre, thus creating a fluid and cinematic continuum. In his score for Living the Light Jim Jarmusch gives this wide raging scale of life and art an additional musical voice.

It is with Yann Dedet, the great French film editor known for his work with Truffaut and Pialat that the Belgian Joachim Lafosse has chosen to edit his fifth film, L’Économie du couple (After Love), the chronicle of a divorce and its emotional and economic repercussions on the couple and their children. The film shows that the interaction, sometimes fluid and sometimes tense, between two collaborators depends on an “economy of the couple”, whose intimacy is bared to the outside world when the critical step of a first screening for the producers arrives.
