13 August 1961: the GDR closes the sector borders in Berlin. The city is divided overnight. Escape to the West becomes more dangerous every day. But on September 14, 1962, exactly one year, one month and one day after the Wall was built, a group of 29 people from the GDR managed to escape spectacularly through a 135-meter tunnel to the West. For more than 4 months, students from West Berlin, including 2 Italians, dug this tunnel. When the tunnel builders ran out of money after only a few meters of digging, they came up with the idea of marketing the escape tunnel. They sell the film rights to the story exclusively to NBC, an American television station.

Dementia, a diagnosis that changes everything for those who are affected and for their relatives. Accepting the disease can seem just as difficult as finding an appropriate approach. But perhaps it is much more about compassion than about understanding? In an observational way, The Inner Light explores the everyday lives of people with dementia and focuses mainly on positive situations and encounters. The film tries to offer a poetic interpretation of this special state of being and aims at reducing fears in dealing with people with dementia and at accepting each person's humanity.

El horrible asesinato de Nancy y Dereck Haysom fue una sensación internacional en 1985. Los Haysom eran gente adinerada y miembros respetables de la sociedad en Virginia y la condena por asesinato de su hija Elizabeth y su novio, el alemán Jens Söring, sacudió a la comunidad rural del condado de Bedford. Elizabeth y Jens se habían conocido en un programa en la universidad para estudiantes con alto nivel intelectual. Ella era producto de internados europeos; él era el hijo de un diplomático. Después de ser arrestados en Londres por falsificación de cheques en 1986, fueron extraditados a los Estados Unidos y han pasado hasta hoy 30 años entre rejas. Este documental revela un proceso judicial muy mal manejado o quizá completamente corrupto. Este fue el primer juicio criminal emitido en directo por televisión para todo el país.

¿Es posible que un ordenador prediga la economía mundial? Martin Armstrong, un consultor de finanzas que con 15 años ya era millonario, diseñó durante los años 80 un modelo de predicción de alta precisión basado en el número pi. Su reputación a nivel mundial hizo que los banqueros más poderosos de Nueva York le invitaran a formar parte de su grupo para manipular las tendencias de los mercados. Martin siempre rechazó la oferta. A finales de los 90, el FBI entró en su casa para requisarle los ordenadores y acusarlo de haber estafado 3.000 millones de dólares utilizando un esquema piramidal. ¿Se trataba de un intento de amenazarle? ¿Querían evitar que hiciera público el verdadero esquema piramidal en el que se ha basado la deuda mundial durante décadas? Las predicciones de Armstrong hace años que indican que el 1 de octubre de 2015 habrá una crisis de la deuda que sacudirá la economía mundial.

Cinema Jenin follows an ambitious initiative to re-open a previously abandoned cinema in the West Bank city of Jenin. Founded in the 1960s, it was once the largest cinema in Palestine, today it stands as a hollow echo of its society. Re-building the cinema, Germans and Palestinians come together evoking often comedic but always political and cultural ramifacations. Cinema Jenin witnessed an intimate, nuanced and textured view into the city and its domestic affairs as well as the journey of a dedicated, loyal, often conflicted group of people who hope that the re-building of the cinema will be a bridge to peace, freedom and Palestinian self-empowerment.

The German filmmaker Marcus Attila Vetter has a Turkish father, Cahit Cubuk, and he goes to visit him for the first time in this documentary. He travels to the Anatolian village of Cubuk Koye, where his 72-year-old father lives with his wife and two daughters. A film crew that got there ahead of him interviews the hopeful father, who wonders what his son will be like. "If he's anything like me, he'll be warm-hearted. If he's more like his mother, the prospects are not very good." Marcus films the Turkish landscape and talks with his newly found family, who all cry many tears. Marcus's father feels that he had no choice back then but to leave Germany, and his halfsisters explain how much they missed their father when he was away. In the meantime, we hear passages read in voice-over from the diary of Marcus's mother Gerlinde, from the time that she was with Cahit - how they met, fell in love and ultimately broke up.
