Woman
Kamal, adolescente iraquí, corre, trepa y se esconde sin mirar atrás para entrar a Europa por la frontera entre Turquía y Bulgaria, un campo minado de extorsiones, oscuridad, nervios y una naturaleza espinosa, en una gymkana en la que lo que está en juego es la vida. Esta película, construida a partir de las historias reales de personas que han atravesado esa puerta de entrada clandestina al continente, nos brinda una experiencia trepidante, intensa y urgente: la trastienda de la supuesta templanza y solidaridad europea frente a la migración en tan solo 75 minutos de pura adrenalina.
Svetla, una viuda que perdió su trabajo recientemente, vive junto a la frontera entre Bulgaria y Turquía. Hay muchos casos de refugiados en su pueblo debido a su ubicación. Un día conoce a un refugiado de África y esto cambia su vida.
8 minutes and 19 seconds – that’s all the time we have until the news about the death of the sun reaches us. That's what it takes for the light to travel from there to here. And then the darkness comes… But the theme of this Apocalypse is not necessarily going to be expressed through a global cataclysm, horsemen of the apocalypse, angels of death, fire and destruction. It will rather be shown as something very personal, intimate and almost silent.
In hopes that they can help each other, a psychiatrist arranges for a suicidal young man and a terminally ill woman to meet.

Starata Katerina
High in the mountains of Macedonia a team of young film makers are making a documentary about Katerina Vandeva - a descendant of an ancient and very famous family. Several former state and party functionaries interfere in the filmmaking in the hopes of manipulating Katerina's confessions for their own purposes. Nikola, the director, and his friends have to make the choice - whether to compromise with their consciences and their art, (as normally happens here in the Balkans), or whether to preserve Katerina's message.
It is a story about a group of friends who live in a small seaport town. Their lifestyle is rigorous, their joys are simple and their sex life is raw. Their concepts of man's dignity, friendship and duty are wrong and primitive. The film helps us to understand and forgive them.
