Who We Will Have Been
Sound
Filmmaker Erec Brehmer's world collapses when his longtime partner Angelina Zeidler dies in a car accident. Using personal videos, photos, voice messages, diary entries and music they shared, he creates ways of meeting and loving her again despite her absence. "We don't talk about the dead, even though that's the only thing we can still do" once someone is gone. And so, Who We Will Have Been is less a documentary and more a mode of communication with the deceased, where slow motion, reverse and soundbites taken in a totally different context suddenly give profound meaning and subtext. When Angi asks in a saved video "Am I still in time?" it resonates with deep, universal, spooky-action-at-a-distance significance. Do we still exist in time without a body and out of mind? Brehmer's powerfully emotional and absorbing meditation on living with loss recognizes that grief changes, but never really ends, like love.
Curveball
Sound Editor
Although he already has searched Iraq unsuccessfully for weapons of mass destruction as a member of a UN mission, German bio-weapons expert Arndt Wolf is still obsessed with the idea that Saddam Hussein is hiding something. Nobody around him is interested in this topic any more. This changes abruptly when an Iraqi asylum seeker claims to have been involved in the manufacture of chemical weapons. The German Federal Intelligence Service summons Dr. Wolf to ascertain the legitimacy of the claims made by the informant, who has been given the code name “Curveball”.
Rules of the Assembly Line, at High Speed
Sound Designer
A small town in Western Germany is the last stop for 26,000 pigs per day and a brief home for masses of Eastern European temporary workers. The workers of the largest slaughterhouse in the country are fighting for survival, while German activists who stand up for their rights are fighting against the local authorities. At the same time, Munich high school students are working on the play "Saint Joan of the Stockyards" and trying to grasp the old text and German capitalism of our days. Interwoven with the young people's examination of the text in the rehearsals, the film deals in various fragments with conditions and facets of temporary work and labour migration in Germany.

Monstros Voadores 3D com David Attenborough
Foley
220 milhões de anos atrás os dinossauros iniciaram sua dominação da Terra. Mas outro grupo de répteis estava prestes a dar um extraordinário salto evolucionário: os pterossauros que começavam a controlar os céus. A história sobre como e porque estas misteriosas criaturas tomaram o rumo dos ares é mais fantástica do que qualquer ficção. Em Monstros Voadores 3D, Sir David Attenborough, o famoso naturalista, se dedica a descobrir a verdade sobre os enigmáticos pterossauros, cujas asas podiam chegar até cerca de 12 metros de envergadura como os modernos aviões a jato.
