A documentary about Sam Peckinpah's Cross of Iron, shot in Yugoslavia in 1976.
A Documentary about Nikos Nikolaidis' work. Nikos Nikolaidis was an acclaimed film director and author from Greece. He is famous for creating controversial characters in his films that have a rebellious attitude towards the social and political status quo. He illustrates a dark and pessimistic present and future, but also providing ambiguous hope for the end when his heroes find their escape in death. His films are shocking and contentious, raising questions during times when political visions start to fade away. His filming was poetic, dynamic and aesthetically beautiful in order to present situations on edge and elicit his audience's feelings. The aim of this project is to transfer his dynamics in a documentary that will convey some of his messages and create a platform for exchanging opinions among filmmakers from all over the world, in an effort to decipher his universe and his symbols as reflections of his unique and rare personality.

Narra el encuentro histórico que se produjo en mayo de 1747, en Postdam, entre el anciano compositor Johann Sebastian Bach, casi ciego y al final de sus días, y el joven emperador Federico II, amante de la música y gran admirador del anciano maestro. Bach, que contaba con 65 años, había realizado un largo viaje desde Leizpig para atender al bautizo de su primer nieto Adam, hijo de Emanuel, su hijo de 28 años. En ese encuentro entre el rey y el famoso compositor, el monarca ve en Bach a un padre ideal, en las antípodas del suyo, Ferderico Guillermo I, y Bach ve en el joven homosexual al hijo poderoso y resuelto que hubiera deseado, tan distinto a Emanuel, demasiado sumiso y marginal a sus ojos. Con Bach había viajado también Friedmann, su hijo mayor de 30 años, un brillante organista con tendencia a la autodestrucción y una rebeldía natural. La aproximación entre artista y monarca comienza entonces a sembrar la discordia en el seno de ambos clanes, los Bach y la corte.

The (West) German military intelligence services want to acquire her farm. At first, their agent attempts to buy the property openly, but her refusal to sell motivates him to try far shadier techniques. He comes up with a relative she never knew about who is entitled to a share in the property and tries to blackmail the township's mayor to get his cooperation. However, the hard-working and honest old lady has an ally in the person of her more sophisticated border, a woman who works in the mayor's office and has been to the West. She takes great delight in foiling the underhanded agent.

Edith runs a left-wing journal and when her marriage starts to fall apart (her husband is unfaithful), she can find no solace in her son who is more of a problem than an asset. On top of heading toward a divorce and being unable to handle her son's asocial tendencies, her neurotic uncle moves in, demanding personalized care. Just to keep her sanity intact, Edith starts writing in her diary to vent her own feelings and ambitions. As her son goes from bad to worse over a five-year period, it turns out that Edith's diary may be of more benefit than she could have ever imagined. In this adaptation of Edith's Diary by Patricia Highsmith, director and writer Hans W.

Germany in Autumn does not have a plot per se; it mixes documentary footage, along with standard movie scenes, to give the audience the mood of Germany during the late 1970s. The movie covers the two month time period during 1977 when a businessman was kidnapped, and later murdered, by the left-wing terrorists known as the RAF-Rote Armee Fraktion (Red Army Fraction). The businessman had been kidnapped in an effort to secure the release of the orginal leaders of the RAF, also known as the Baader-Meinhof gang. When the kidnapping effort and a plane hijacking effort failed, the three most prominent leaders of the RAF, Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin, and Jan-Carl Raspe, all committed suicide in prison. It has become an article of faith within the left-wing community that these three were actually murdered by the state.
