The Game of Death is a documentary co-produced by France Télévisions and Radio Television Switzerland1 in 2009 and staging a fake game show (The Xtreme Zone) during which a candidate must send electric shocks increasingly strong candidate to another until voltages that can cause death. The staging reproduces the Milgram experiment carried out initially in the United States in 1960 to study the influence of authority on obedience: electric shocks are fictitious, an actor pretending to suffer, and objective is to test the ability to disobey the candidate who inflicts this treatment and who is not aware of the experiment. The notable difference with the original experience is that scientific authority is replaced by a television presenter, Tania Young.

Заканчивается пьеса Шекспира «Юлий Цезарь», занавес, бурные овации. Гаснет свет, актеры покидают сцену и… возвращаются в камеры римской тюрьмы строгого режима «Ребибия». Камера запечатлела грандиозный эксперимент по постановке спектакля режиссером Фабио Кавалли с заключенными, многие из которых отбывают пожизненный срок. Универсальный язык Шекспира помогает новоявленным актерам понять свои роли, вновь познать дружбу и предательство, власть, обман и насилие — сначала в пьесе, а потом и в своей жизни. И хотя подмостки этой пьесы — тюрьма, в самом фильме она удивительным образом исчезает…

(Silent short, voiced in 1937 and 1996.)

The first film in what would ultimately become Zilnik’s famed Kenedi trilogy follows street hustler Kenedi Hasani and his friend as they roam the streets of Serbia seeking Kenedi’s parents. Kenedi Goes Back Home is Zilnik’s account of the Roma people who were forced to flee from the war in the Balkans to Germany in the 1990s and who, ten years later, are forced against their will to return to Serbia. Zilnik shows the immigrants' lives in relation to the prevailing ideology shaped today by the borders between rich and poor and by the often-racist selection process that determines who will be accepted into Western Europe.

Agnes may not seem like someone with much to laugh about. For one thing, she has albinism - a lack of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes - and her appearance has provoked prejudice from family, friends and strangers since she was born. But despite all odds, Agnes refuses to lead a life of sorrow. This fascinating and inspiring documentary also shares the stories of seven other people's individual experiences of living their lives with albinism in Kenya, a predominantly black society. While each person's story is unique, they all have one thing in common: they know what it is like to stand out uncomfortably from the crowd.
