- Together, a filmmaker and her characters venture into a personal research project about intimacy. On the fluid border between reality and fiction, Touch Me Not follows the emotional journeys of Laura, Tómas and Christian, offering a deeply empathic insight into their lives.
- This is a tribute to an artist whose songs told the story of Italy at a time of rapid social and cultural change. Thanks to the testimony of the singer's manager and friend Tobia Righi, and an effective and original use of archive material, Pietro Marcello retraces the life of Lucio Dalla, making him a spotlight through which Marcello sheds light on a country that rose from the ruins of the Second World War to sever its roots with peasant culture and move towards a future of factories, consumerism and mass car production. Not handsome or dashing like the other singers of his generation, Lucio Dalla embodied a different role model that was closer to ordinary people. For here was an artist capable of transposing the poetry of Roversi, who provided the lyrics for some of Dalla's most beautiful songs, into a musical arrangement that spoke to everyone. The director of Martin Eden returns to the documentary form with a film that pays tribute not only to a great singer but also to a notion of a people that has vanished with him.
- A murder case in the Mongolian steppe. A herder is asked to guard the crime scene - a woman who resolutely scares off both wolves and her neighbor. She has her own plans for the future, which are closely linked to the myths of her homeland.
- The Council of Europe in Strasburg, France, is seen through the sometimes mischievious eyes of its fleet of simultaneous interpreters. The behind-the-scenes intrigues contrast amusingly with the serious pronouncements by Robert Schuman (France), Prime Minister de Gaspardi (Italy) and Chancellor Adenauer (Germany), who declare their intention to form the European Coal and Steel Community. France's Paul Reynaud, Germany's von Brentano and Britain's Robert Boothby speak during a session on European unity. This glimpse into the Council's early days - when it had only advisory functions - takes on historic significance as the Continent moves toward making it a European Parliament.
- Like _Welcome Mr. Marshall_, this fiction film uses satire to convey its (backhanded) message. German comic Walter Gross stars as an East German political functionary lecturing to a group of party members. He shows a film about the progress being made in the German Democratic Republic, but its put-down of all things Western vividly and hilariously demonstrates just the opposite.
- The film sketches pre-War Germany and the forces that led to Nazi control and war. Now in the aftermath, German people are faced with choices. They can revert to militarism or embrace peace. They can follow orders or exercise their rights as free citizens. This is a clever piece of propaganda because it invites each viewer to choose his or her own path.
- The invisible link that power's Austria's industry, cities and farms is, of course, electric power. Ultimately that power means jobs for the nation's many unemployed. Kaprun Dam, in the mountains north of Salzburg - Austria's largest - and some 20 others will provide more electricity than ever before, thanks to Marshall aid. Stunning footage shows how one family farms in the high mountains, with and without benefit of electricity.
