Journey to the Sun

Just after the Second World War, 5,000 young children were sent from Austria to stay with host families in Portugal, where they could recover from the violence of war. They were often welcomed in by well-to-do families with domestic staff living in sunny villas, and for most of the children this was a holiday in paradise. The contrast with their living conditions at home, and the huge difference between the lives of rich and poor in Portugal in this period, made a deep impression on the young Austrians.

Mamie Lang Kirkland still remembers the night in 1915 when panic filled her home in Ellisville, Mississippi. Her family was forced to flee in darkness from a growing mob of men determined to lynch her father and his friend. Mamie’s family escaped, but her father’s friend, John Hartfield, did not. He suffered one of the most horrific lynchings of the era. Mamie vowed to never return to Mississippi – until now. After one hundred years, Mamie’s youngest child, filmmaker, Tarabu Betserai Kirkland, takes his mother back to Ellisville to tell her story, honor those who succumbed to the terror of racial violence, and give testimony to the courage and hope epitomized by many of her generation

Teenage Dirtbag

Lana is 14 years old and has been caring for her seriously ill father for many years. Her mother has two jobs to keep the family financially afloat and is therefore rarely at home. Even when Lana was 8 years old, she was responsible for getting medical help in an emergency. Lana's situation is similar to that of most children and young people who provide care at a young age: the burden she carries remains invisible to others. However, her concern for her father is having a huge impact on Lana's performance at school. It is uncertain whether she will be able to graduate from high school.

Once Upon a Time in Poland

So close, yet so far. Although a bit exaggerated, this can be said about Poles and Czechs – neighbours and related nations. This powerful film builds on the contradictions of two worlds: Czech atheists vs. the exotic reality of a Catholic country. There is no shortage of amusing scenes. The filmmakers address passers-by, nuns, employees of the anti-Semitic Radio Maryja, a priest accused of sexual harassment, and an exorcist. Karel not only becomes an explorer who seeks to find the truth about Polish faith, but at another level also a pilgrim who, through the “path to film” wants to find faith himself. Last but not least, the documentary asks what has happened to Poland in recent years? Why is it as internally divided as Czechia?

CIA vs. Bin Laden: First In

CIA vs. Bin Laden. 20 years after 9/11 and 10 years after his death. The most revealing documentary ever produced about the 10 year hunt for Osama Bin Laden by the Central Intelligence Agency. We interview former Directors, CIA case officers, military leaders, members of European intelligence services, and US Congressman who played direct roles in the hunt and elimination of the world's #1 terrorist. Many of the people most deeply involved with the hunt and killing of Bin Laden have been reluctant to share their stories until now. There was simply no benefit for these quiet professionals, their families, or the agencies they served to be in the public eye. But they have collectively decided that now is the time - to go on record and tell their stories before it's too late. As far as possible, we will permit testimonies of those who dealt directly with the ex-Al Qaeda leader. His family, his lieutenants, his fighters.

Watching The Shadow | Controversial Firsts In Turkish Cinema

As we go into the past of Turkish Cinema, we come across a history full of obscurity and uncertainties, which has been narrated by film writers. The purpose of realizing this project is to reveal the wrong or incompletely known “firsts”. Based on the documents produced by cinema historians, one of the main goals was to scan the newspapers and magazines of the period from some missing parts to the whole, or to clarify some of the discussed issues. From the first screening venue to the first women on the silver screen and the stage, from the first color film to the first films that were screened, this documentary takes a journey from stop to stop, like a reference to the trains of the Lumières, which is made with an academic point of view, revealing the "true or incompletely known mistakes" with documents.
