A Long Way Home
Editor
Five Chinese artists stand at the centre of the film: the modern dancer Wen Hui, the writer Ye Fu, the cartoonist Pi San and the visual artists Gao Brothers. They are part of a fragile yet courageous counterculture. Taking their own family stories as starting points, they explore the echoes of the past in order to understand the predicaments of the present. Increasingly, their struggle for a democratic civil society seems as relevant for the world today as it is for China.
Pure Charcoal
Editor
Wearing heavy rubber boots, Fränz Röösli climbs atop his charcoal pile and starts poking holes into what he calls the “Grind” – the “head” or dome of the pile, which reaches four meters above ground. White smoke rises from the holes, curling around the charcoal burner to the whims of the wind before it is carried off into the dark of night. In calm, stunning images, the documentary “Köhlernächte” by Robert Müller draws the viewer into the archaic world of commercial charcoal burning in Switzerland’s Napf region.

After their father is institutionalized, the two women take over the family business, which specializes in precision optics.

Douleur d'amour
Editor
A transvestite is not someone who wants or needs to identify completely as a woman, which is something he can only ever really enact. A transvestite is a definition in itself, a person at a crossroads with incredible vital strength, of which by their very ambivalence they are the synthesis. An artist and at the same time the tool for their art. This documentary follows those artists who talk about theirs lives and problems in São Paulo, Brazil.
