From crashing his plane over Africa to hobnobbing in Hollywood and his remarkable encounters with everyone from Walt Disney to President Roosevelt - this is the story of his greatest adventures and how his real-life escapades find expression in his most famous books, from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to Matilda. Through a vast collection of his letters, writings and archive, the story is told largely in his own words with contributions from his last wife Liccy, daughter Lucy and biographer Donald Sturrock. Long-term collaborator and illustrator Quentin Blake also creates exclusive new drawings for the film which are specially animated to bring Dahl's marvellous world to life.

- DirectorKatharina Von FlotowStarsRoger JendlyJacques BerchtoldAlain CernuschiThe life and thoughts of an Enlightenment philosopher who suffered from chronic restlessness. A detailed biography which places special emphasis on his most influential texts and commemorates his tercentenary birthday. Using "Les confessions" as the leitmotif, the film alternates between readings by actor Roger Jendly, encounters with international experts and musings on Rousseau's travel destinations. Its manner does not conform to today's tempo, but rather seems to follow the rhythm of a thought as it unfolds, resulting in an inevitably dense portrait on the extraordinary life of one of the leading French philosophers of the Enlightenment.
- DirectorOren JacobyStarsBrigitte BardotPatrick BauchauJohn CullumNo one in recorded history has suffered a fate quite like Lafayette.

- DirectorAnand Kamalakar"Salam" is a feature length documentary about the Nobel prize winning Pakistani physicist, Abdus Salam. The film reveals the extraordinary life of the charismatic Abdus Salam, in all its color, vitality and tragedy. It is the story of a man who traversed two worlds with ease: one of science and religion, modernity and tradition, war and peace and obscurity and celebrity. When he won the Nobel prize in 1979, he became the very first Pakistani to achieve this distinction, and only the fourth from the subcontinent. Born in 1926 in a remote village in Punjab, British India, Salam was a child prodigy. He came from humble beginnings, growing up in a small brick house with a large family of eleven. While Salam's legacy looms large in the world of physics, he is largely forgotten in Pakistan because of his faith. Children do not read about him and he is still vilified and maligned by right wing clerics for being a "Qadiani"-a derogatory term for someone belonging to the Ahmadiyya community. By telling this complex story of a man who due to extremism could not strengthen his people as he so deeply desired, the film draws attention to the state of affairs in the world today, where knowledge is sacrificed at the altar of ignorance and intolerance, depriving the coming generation of all that is precious.
- DirectorDuane BaughmanJohnny O'HaraStarsAseefa Bhutto ZardariBakhtawar Bhutto ZardariBilawal Bhutto ZardariA riveting documentary of the recently assassinated Benazir Bhutto, a polarizing figure in the Muslim world.

- DirectorJulia NewmanStarsMichio KakuMichael PaleyAlice CalapriceAlbert Einstein, the most famous scientist of all time, was a world-renowned celebrity, greeted like a rock star when he appeared in public. An anti-war firebrand, Einstein also spoke out on issues ranging from women's rights and racism to immigration and nuclear arms control. But today, his image has been neutered into that of a charmingly absent-minded genius. He was, in fact, a powerful force for social change and a model for political activism. Using a wealth of rarely-seen archival footage, correspondence, and new and illuminating interviews, filmmaker Julia Newman makes the case that Albert Einstein's example of social and political activism is as important today as are his brilliant, groundbreaking theories.
