How God Created Us: Coming Out in the Catholic Church
Music
125 employees of the Catholic Church come out as queer! In the exclusive ARD documentary, believers in the service of the Catholic Church in Germany dare to go public together. People who identify as non-heterosexual talk about fighting for their church - sometimes at the risk of losing their jobs as a result. There are priests, religious brothers, parish assistants, diocese employees, religion teachers, kindergarten teachers, social workers and many more who report intimidation, denunciations, deep injuries, decades of hide and seek and double lives. The Catholics report a system in which pressure, fear and arbitrariness leave employees uncertain as to what exactly happens when they stand by their sexual orientation or identity. The investigative documentary listens to those who live their faith every day and are nevertheless degraded by the church as an institution.

King of Herrings
Original Music Composer
An offbeat look at four Crescent City layabouts, who dream big in a 'small change' world of cards, women and endless cups of coffee. Their passionate blundering, like their rants, can be at once funny, poignant, ridiculous and heartbreaking. Ditch, their self appointed king, is an irascible son-of-a-bitch with a Napoleon complex, and his pals love him for it. Until one day he pushes the self-tenured Professor too far. A game of threats, posturing and sexual ploys lead them down a dark but comic road in this exploration of what it is to be a man today. Filmed in black and white, this richly textured character study could be the bastard child of Woody Allen and Tom Waits, brought to life by an ensemble of real-life character actors who have known each other and worked together for over twenty- five years.

Пришельцы — высокотехнологичная раса, их технологии намного превосходят земные, но намерения их оказались совсем не мирными. Земля для них — только возможность достичь своей цели. Вся раса пришельцев заражена смертельным вирусом, и сейчас они требуют от человечества восемь миллионов землян. Люди для них — всего лишь сырьё, из которого будет изготовлена сыворотка для лечения от смертельной болезни. Под угрозой полного уничтожения правительства Земли соглашаются на это бесчеловечное требование. Многие из выбранных в жертву покорно идут навстречу гибели, но есть и такие, кто считает, что сдаваться без боя нельзя.
