- DirectorRamona S. DiazTaking us into the heart of the planet's busiest maternity hospital, the viewer is dropped like an unseen outsider into the hospital's stream of activity.

- DirectorRené FrölkeAnn Carolin RenningerOr is every day of life an event when one reaches 90, like the farmer, Willi Dettert, who anchors this beautiful reflective piece on the joys of life itself. Despite the impairments of age, Willi holds on fiercely to his independence among his chickens and plants, and in the company of his cat. Visitors come but we are caught up most in the slow, simple rhapsodies of everyday life itself that appear all the more precious with the sense that they might, fade away at any time?✓

- DirectorMichael GlawoggerMonika WilliStarsBirgit MinichmayrFiona ShawRobin A Townsend"I want to give a view of the world that can only emerge by not pursuing any particular theme, by refraining from passing judgment, proceeding without aim. Drifting with no direction except one's own curiosity and intuition." (Michael Glawogger) More than two years after the sudden death of Michael Glawogger in April 2014, film editor Monika Willi realizes a film out of the film footage produced during 4 months and 19 days of shooting in the Balkans, Italy, Northwest and West Africa. A journey into the world to observe, listen and experience, the eye attentive, courageous and raw. Serendipity is the concept - in shooting as well as in editing the film.✓

Closely related to his cinematographic work is his very substantial cinematographic collection, spanning about 40,000 objects ranging from the early days of cinema to phenomena of visual perception - a collection that is truly unique in the world. This film shows a cross-section of Nekes' films and reveals some particularly intriguing treasures from his collection. In conversations with Alexander Kluge, Nekes reveals his profound knowledge of cinematography and his lifelong and abiding interest in exploring the concept of perception. The film also looks at his close collaboration with Helge Schneider and Christoph Schlingensief.✓

After they've been massacred and displaced from their home land, they found protection in a refugee camp, stuck between the radical Islamic State and their dream destination: Europe. "What the wind took away'' is a deeply poetic approach to the very personal stories of these Yazidi women and a lyrical journey through their lives in the refugee camp.✓
