Генезис 2.0
На далеких островах северных широт, в условиях вечной мерзлоты охотники за трофеями заняты поисками бесценных сокровищ «черного» рынка – бивней доисторических мамонтов. Одна из таких экспедиций обнаруживает прекрасно сохранившиеся останки древнего зверя. Поразительная находка вызвала интерес в биотехнологическом мире. Фрагменты животного с живыми клетками доставляют в лабораторию по клонированию в Южной Корее. Ее честолюбивый глава Хван У Сок берется возродить мамонтов к жизни и совершить революцию в науке и судьбах человечества…
Великое безмолвие
Документальная картина о монашеском ордене, члены которого хранят обет молчания. Действие фильма происходит в картезианском монастыре Гранд Шартрез, затерянном во французских Альпах. На всем протяжении этой ленты зрители почти не слышат человеческой речи; тишину прерывает только звон колоколов. Фильм отображает каждодневную жизнь монахов, живущих в полумраке: кельи монастыря освещаются лишь свечами. Спят они на лавках, застеленных соломой, а свои жилища обогревают лишь небольшими жестяными печками. Покрытые снегом альпийские горы служат величественным фоном их духовным поискам. По ночам монахи собираются в каменной часовне, где царит пронизывающий холод, садятся на пол и поют грегорианские песнопения.

Winter Nomads
Pascal, 53, and Carole, 28, are shepherds. In the month of November 2010, they embark on their long winter transhumance: four months during which they will have to cover 600 km in the Swiss-French region, accompanied by three donkeys, four dogs and eight hundred sheep. An exceptional adventure is about to begin: they brave the cold and the bad weather day in day out, with a canvas cover and animal skins as their only shelter at night. This saga reveals a tough and exacting profession, requiring constant improvisation and unflinching attention to nature, the animals and the cosmos. An eventful journey with surprise encounters, moving reunions with farmer friends, nostalgic figures of country life that is shrinking away fast. Αn adventure film, a contemporary road movie, a reflection of our current world, which takes us back to our roots and our inner questions.

The Laundry Room
The key to the communal laundry room in the block of flats on the Rue de Genève 85 in Lausanne serves a much greater function than merely unlocking the door. This encounter between a symbol of typical Swiss mentality with a penchant for order and the tenants who have been housed here by the city’s social services department is not something to be taken for granted. Although the laundry room is normally located in the cellar, the tenants in this building share a tiny laundry room off the entrance hall because the cellar is reserved for prostitution. To maintain order and cleanliness, the landlord hires Claudina, a new “laundry woman”.
Bear-Like

Driven by a desire to explore the unknown the film tells a personal story of wilderness, framed in breathtaking pictures of unique creatures.

Those on duty at the shelter have the difficult task of “triaging the poor”: the women and children first, then the men. Although the total capacity at the shelter is 100, only 50 “chosen ones” will be admitted inside and granted a warm meal and a bed. The others know it will be a long night.
Max Bill: The Master's Vision
The film about Max Bill (1908-1994) moves between the dynamic fields of art, aesthetics and politics. Max Bill was probably the most important swiss artist of the 20th century and the most famous student to come out of the legendary Bauhaus in Dessau. He was an ardent anti-fascist and all his avant-garde work as an artist, sculptor, architect and typographer showed a social responsibility and environmental awareness right through his life. His views have become incredibly topical.
