- DirectorRuth BeckermannRain on a window pane, a fire truck, a tomcat with innumerable offspring: it is an intentionally unintentional gaze that allows for chance encounters, for stories and memories - leads that Ruth Beckermann follows across Europe and the Mediterranean. Nigerian asylum seekers in Sicily, an Arab musician in Galilee, nationalists drunk on beer in Vienna, the Capitoline Wolf, and three veiled young women trying for minutes to cross a busy road in Alexandria. Threads, cloth and textiles pop up like book marks in a fabric of movement, of traveling or seeking refuge.
- DirectorBiljana TutorovStarsDragoslava AleksicDragan AleksicDusan BosnjakDragoslava has four TV sets, three grandchildren, two best friends, and a husband with whom she fights over a remote control. She keeps her private archive of memories of all major events in recent political history of five countries in which she has lived, without ever moving from her apartment. She is a trained poll monitor, passionate about her right to be in the minority, but more and more desperate as another early election approach.
- DirectorRuth BeckermannStarsBetty BeckermannSalo BeckermannHerbert GropperBeckermann's parents met in Vienna after the Holocaust. Tracing the migratory paths of her family before World War II, Beckerman returns to the European Jewish communities which inspired her childhood stories.
- DirectorLukasz BorowskiThe participants of an extreme race run over 300 kilometers in 48 hours. During two days they don't sleep, don't stop, they even eat while running. After a couple of hours they start to feel faint, suffer contusions and even hallucinate. Those who reach the finish line experience great euphoria. Why do people take part in races that are so challenging? Running helps them work through frustrating issues - a stressful job, personal troubles, trauma from the past. They miss the feeling of accomplishment and living life to the fullest. Only when they are running, they feel truly alive.
- DirectorAnastasiya MiroshnichenkoThe soulless atmosphere of a women's penitentiary destroys the prisoners' personality, kills all femininity in them. The film looks at the rationality of the long prison terms for mothers separated from their children.
- DirectorNenad PuhovskiWith his film Generation '68, the author makes a homage to the generation with which he shares his youthful enthusiasm and the idea about a revolution that will change the world, while being "realistic and demanding the impossible". At the same time he questions the true impact of these changes on social and - probably more important - private level. Having ideas is easy; making them look credible to the generations that follow is somewhat more difficult. By rejecting the ideals of the 1968 as unworkable, the new generations are coming up with some of their own, maybe even more unrealistic ones...
- DirectorDiego E. Sarmiento PaganÁlvaro SarmientoStarsJulio RenerioCustodio SangamaSamuel SangamaGuided by ayahuasca chants, GREEN RIVER.

- DirectorRuth BeckermannInitially, there's that moment of happiness: an African-American celebrating in Harlem cheers "We're free!" as if Barack Obama's victory meant the ultimate end of slavery. AMERICAN PASSAGES is an associative journey through the United States: a disillusioned Iraq veteran, gay adoptive fathers, black judges, white party animals and a pimp at a casino table in Las Vegas. The extreme contrasts of black and white, rich and poor, winners and losers are often as surprising as the meaning of the constitutional right to the pursuit of happiness in these times of crisis. An epic panorama of America.
