"Lesson of Unreason" a film by Dr. Uwe Jordan (Text: Dr. Thomas Hardtmuth). The rainforest is a fascinating natural paradise. But the destruction of the tropical rainforest continues to progress. In just one hour, an area the size of 8,000 football fields disappears. Intact and healthy ecosystems are lost forever, irretrievably. What remains is poverty and destruction. The film is told by two senior surgeons at the Heidenheim Clinic who traveled to the rainforest in Indonesia for the first time and brought these recordings back with them. A unique and impressive film document was created. The two surgeons accompanied the doctor and biologist, Dr. Dr. Bernhard Lohr (chairman of the association "Faszination Regenwald e.V." - www.verein-faszination-regenwald.de), on a trip to one of the last rainforests in Borneo at the foot of Mount Meratus, which is sacred to the locals.

With her commitment to the poorest in Calcutta, Mother Teresa, founder of the Order of Missionaries of Charity, became a symbol of mercy.

691,000 PEOPLE AT ROCK ON THE VOLGA! According to the organizers of the Russian festival Rock on the Volga, up to 691,000 people attended the concert of Rammstein.

The small Portuguese coastal town of Nazaré is unique in Europe. It became the Olympus of surfing in the 2010s. Monster waves roll ashore here between late autumn and spring. They are the largest in the world, so Nazaré is a hotspot for big wave surfers such as the German professional Sebastian Steudtner, the only German extreme athlete in this field who belongs to the world's elite. The giant waves are spectacular, but they are also extremely dangerous. They have given the former fishing port a new boom, because the activities of the surfers now attracts tourists in droves to the place even in winter. But accidents with serious injuries occur again and again. The documentary shows how the coastal town is handling the new attraction and how Sebastian Steudtner is preparing for a new record ride on the biggest wave on earth.

The soldier Wozzeck (Christian Gerhaher) flits through a world that he is unable to decipher. The doctor torments him with absurd medical experiments; the captain humiliates and ridicules him. And Wozzeck’s lover, Marie (Gun-Brit Barkmin), with whom he has a child, cuckolds him with the drum major. Wozzeck becomes a murderer, stabbing Marie to death. Georg Büchner’s drama fragment, on which Alban Berg based his first opera, is an unflinching case study of social injustice and human suffering. But it is also a grotesque piece that thrives on exaggeration – and in which only a fine line separates the unfathomable from the ridiculous. Accordingly, director Andreas Homoki forgoes all realism.

“The reduction, the short film as a distillate that enables a new, concentrated gaze, is a central aspect of my cinematic thinking. Equally important is looking back at film history in order to rethink the present. Early cinema and the historical development of film technology are key sources of inspiration for my works, in which I reflect on everyday ways of seeing. With my films, I conduct research as a visual researcher with plenty of freedom to discover the extraordinary in the everyday.” –Viktoria Schmid

This movie, shot entirely in a perfectly circular aspect ratio, showcases one couple's morning routine in all its banality, as they get ready for work. The incredibly diverse lifestyles that are lived in our society suggest that the concept of normality is something that no longer has a place in people's minds. Nevertheless, the concept of "normality" significantly influences the lives of people - based only on different themes, actions, objects and subjects. This is not limited to conservative lifestyles. It is not the task of this film to criticize conventional forms of life, but to question the concept of convention in the unconventional. "Normal" means something quite different for very different people.
