- "Lost and Found" is a film project for which six young filmmakers from Central and Eastern Europe have each developed a short film on the theme of "generation". Together, these six short films make a whole cinema evening. Unique thereby is the selection of young directors, who are currently among the most talented in the Central and Eastern European region. Also special is that five of the short films (four short narrative films and one short documentary) are visually framed by an independent animation story. The filmmakers made their films with local producers in their home countries; post-production was carried out in Germany. The theme "generation" is the thread running through the whole film. It mirrors a new self-understanding of young filmmakers in Central and Eastern Europe. Traditions and national history are viewed in a new way and cinematically narrated. The concept of generation was not intended to neutralize the differences between the countries, but to create a fascinating frame for comparison. The stories were written in accordance with this thematic guideline especially for this project.

- A documentary with the elements of animation about 85-year-old Elbert Tuganov and 80-year-old Heino Pars - two animators and artists who despite changing times have become masters of their domain... The time of occurring of the real events is in a documentary "The Kings of Time" is not actually essential. It may be yesterday, today, tomorrow... And it may happen to you... and to me... However, in the film, it all took place in the 1950s, the time when the first Sputnik was launched to the space, rivers were reversed and hydraulic power plants built. At the same time, in a far corner of the Soviet Union, two Estonian men started to play with puppets. Why? The protagonists of the 72-minute documentary are two different film directors, two different creators: Elbert Tuganov and Heino Pars, who, in spite of the changing times, have established themselves as the kings of time... and, quoting the chronicle films of their time: "were the first Estonians who have flown all the way to the roof of the World cinema..."
- The heroes of the film are three bear cubs from the cult painting by Ivan Shishkin, "Morning in a Pine Forest." After losing their painter mom, three brothers--Henry, Vincent, and August--appear in Paris, the City of Light every creator dreams of. All attempts to earn their living as artists fail. Their impressionistic "collies" won't be acknowledged. Under cover as circus lions, the bear cubs travel back to Russia to find their mother's heritage.
- The winter ghost The story is about 9-year old Hendrick and Annie, and about their relationship. They have to find their own ways to overcome social prejudices before they can become true friends. Poverty and social injustice were part of children's life in Pieter Bruegel's world, and they still are in our time. Emotionally the story is about, how it feels to be treated unjustly, a feeling that most of the children experience in some stage of their lives. The Winter Ghost" is, however, told as a classical children's tale and it ends happily. There is humour and fantasy which add more dimensions to the basically quite realistic tale. All these elements make the film suitable for a wide audience, both children and family, and I believe that it works well as a holiday special. Anonymous
