- DirectorAngel Borrego CuberoStarsNorman FosterFrank GehryZaha HadidA raw account of how some of the best architects in the world, design giants like Jean Nouvel, Frank Gehry or Zaha Hadid, struggle to beat the competition for the National Museum of Art in Andorra.

- DirectorMichael CainMiles HargroveStarsPhilippe StarckLarry HagmanBlake WoodallThe epicenter for 1980s counterculture wasn't spawned in New York, Los Angeles, or even Manchester, England but in the most unlikely of places, Dallas, Texas. The infamous Starck Club was a Shangri-La for the rich, the famous, the uber hip: movie stars, rock stars, sports celebrities, Dallas debutantes, politicians - and anyone else who had the attitude and duds to convince the phalanx at the front door to let them pass. MDMA or "Ecstasy", the then legal drug, was adding euphoric fuel to the fire. The club's policy of welcoming all including gays, straights, rich, poor, black, white and everything in between was attracting worldwide attention and local hostility. The only thing not allowed inside was prejudice and that made the Starck the target for city leaders, the police and Reagan's war on drugs. On August 8, 1986, a DEA raid at the Starck lead to the emergence of a new progressive subculture, Rave, which would soon be known from Los Angeles to Detroit to London to Ibiza. Pure Ecstasy focuses on the club as a microcosm of the 1980s. Music, fashion, politics, culture, and designer drugs each played a role in the drama which made Starck Club the hegemonic nightspot of the 1980s.

- DirectorGoffredo AlessandriniStarsFosco GiachettiAlida ValliRossano BrazziThe time is the Russian Revolution. The place is a country burdened with fear - the midnight knock at the door, the bread hidden against famine, the haunted eyes of the fleeing, the grublike fat of the appeasers and oppressors. In a bitter struggle of the individual against the collective, three people stand forth with the mark of the unconquered in their bearing: Kira, who wants to be a builder, and the two men who love her - Leo, an aristocrat, and Andrei, a Communist. In their tensely dramatic story, Ayn Rand shows what the theories of Communism mean in practice. We the Living is not a story of politics but of the men and women who have to struggle for existence behind the Red banners and slogans. It is a picture of what dictatorship - of any kind - does to human beings, what kind of men are able to survive, and which of them remain as the ultimate winners. What happens to the defiant ones? What happens to those who succumb? Who are the winners in this conflict? Against a vivid panorama of political revolution and personal revolt, Ayn Rand offers an answer that challenges the modern conscience.

- DirectorStephan KomandarevA stretch of secluded, mountainous countryside near the Bulgarian-Greek-Turkish border, a few kilometers long and a few hundred meters wide. In the 1980s, when the Bulgarian state tried to convert all Turks - demanding that they adopt Slavic names - most of its inhabitants flew to Turkey. Many of the villages near this border were abandoned. But some people stayed. The film concentrates on a few families - Christian as well as Muslim - and the uncertain future of their children. Since most schools were closed, the children have to drive 140 kilometers to the only remaining school for all 16 villages of the region - at dawn, in a truck, in rain or snow; on a street which we will see during the different seasons and which will become another character in the film. At "St. St. Cyril and Methodius School", Bulgarian, Turkish and Roma children are schooled side by side. Their mutual respect for each other's faith, but also a truck driver and the local doctor who introduces the film, give the parents and their children hope to be able to live together in this remote landscape.
