- DirectorFabrizio CalviJean-Michel MeuriceFollowing La grande pompe à phynances (2012), everything is good for getting rich and too bad if society becomes more and more unjust. Why didn't anyone see it coming? Why couldn't we prevent the disaster? And why does nothing seem to have to change?

- DirectorAnnalisa PirasStarsAngus DeaytonFlavia Piras TrowJohn Arthur30,000ft: sometime in the not-so-distant future. Eight year old Jane Monetti sits aboard an aeroplane destined for Berlin Tempelhof, but all is not well. Far below her is a post-Union Europe and countries that collaborated happily at the beginning of the 21st Century are regressing into a fractious collection of isolated nation-states. Scared by the turbulence, Jane strikes-up a conversation with archeologist, Charles Granda (played by Angus Deayton): he is about to give a lecture on the EU and he begins to explain to her what the European Union was and also what has been lost since its collapse. We rewind to 2014 and Annalisa Piras's film goes on to examine current-day Europe and the challenges that are mounting against the Union's survival. Beset by growing nationalism and an increasing dissatisfaction with its undemocratic political structure will Europe descend into the apocalyptic future presented at the beginning of the film? Using interviews, archival footage and an innovative combination of documentary and drama, Piras constructs a picture of a Europe that is worth fighting for. Following six different European individuals and their stories, she shows the immense positives of a Union that has prevented major wars since the fall of Nazi Germany but also highlights that it is an organisation in need of major reform. Subtle, profound and witty, The Great European Disaster Movie is far more than just a political film. Instead, it frames Europe through the eyes of those who are most important to its success: the Europeans themselves.

- DirectorDaniel LeconteStarsElisabeth BadinterFrançois BayrouChristophe BigotWhen twelve cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad were published by Denmark's largest newspaper in 2005, European muslim groups denounced the cartoons as insulting and sacrilegious. To everyone's surprise, the protests against the Muhammad drawings took a worldwide scale, even leading to violent demonstrations in several Muslim countries. In France, the satirical news magazine Charlie Hebdo joined the conversation and reprinted the controversial cartoons, causing an uproar among the country's growing Muslim population. Months later, the Great Mosque of Paris, the World Muslim League and the Union of Islamic Organizations of France took Charlie Hebdo's editor Philippe Val to court for defamation and incitement of hatred. Tough Being Loved by Jerks offers a real-time account of the ensuing trial, arguably one most divisive and heated legal proceedings in recent French history. The film features lawyers, witnesses, journalists, editorial conferences, demonstrations of support, as well as the reactions of the prosecutors and Muslim leaders around the world. Given new relevance after the January 7, 2015, attacks at the Charlie Hebdo offices, which left 12 dead and 11 wounded, Tough Being Loved by Jerks also features candid interviews (and rarely seen behind-the-scenes moments) with acclaimed Charlie Hebdo cartoonists, such as Cabu, Charb, Tignous and Wolinski, who were killed on January 7, 2015. As such, the film offers a unique perspective into the current debate around France's founding ideals and its current realities.
