Junk Bike Battle: Random Tandems

In a fierce battle of innovation and resourcefulness, two teams have just three days to go head-to-head over a pile of scrap bikes and used parts, on a mission to transform discarded relics into awe-inspiring tandem bicycles and create the perfect set of wheels for a picnic adventure. With just old bike parts and the tools available, UK framebuilders extraordinaire Paul Burford and Ted James team up with ex pro Alex Paton and Crit racer Alec Briggs to conjure up new bikes from old. Under the watchful eye of judges Si Richardson and expert Andrew Denham, as the action unfolds, everything that can go wrong, does go wrong - from wonky wheels, to faulty frames and crazy cranks! This all culminates in a day of wacky races but will either of the bikes be roadworthy? And will they look the part? Who will be crowned the winner?

Informe Plus+. Sebas Saiz, campeón a contracorriente

The story of Sebas Saiz is that of an adventurous character who has broken stereotypes since his beginnings in basketball. The Madrid power forward, trained in the lower categories of Real Madrid and Estudiantes, soon decided that he wanted something different for himself than what was expected of his sports career. At the age of 17 he left for the United States, where he triumphed in the NCAA and became friends with actor Morgan Freeman. But his most groundbreaking decision came after he returned to Spain and spent two seasons in the ACB. He decided to go play in Japan when he was only 25 years old, moved by the impressive economic offer that came to him from Japan and with the well-being of his family as his number one priority. There, not only has he shown that he can grow as an elite athlete in an emerging league, but Sebas has become captain of the Spanish National Team and has been proclaimed champion of the last Eurobasket.

Brother

In only ninety seconds Marcus Grysczok tells a touching personal story of loss and takes us to great emotional depths. Tune in: an electronically distorted outcry. The protagonist talks to himself and to someone who no longer lives in this world, but all the more in his heart. He looks for a way out of this state of powerlessness, assuming a stranger’s role, a free-roaming paper dog that runs between real shelves and across tables, races past people on black-and-white photographs and everyday objects, chases himself on a plate rim. The images convey a feeling of home – a home for memory and for life. Tune out? As soon as the dog stops, reality puts an end to this restless racket and brings the awareness of enduring loss. Poetic in language and design, the film formulates a moving but clear-eyed farewell to a brother.

Kumva – Which Comes from Silence

Quietly and discreetly, the French director Sarah Mallégol follows a group of thirty-something protagonists who survived the 1994 Rwanda genocide as children. They have no memory of the events – neither those whose fathers were murdered nor those whose parents were responsible. A confrontation begins: focused conversations between generations which, captured by a gentle camera, are meant to cautiously break the long silence – in order to be able to understand, process and mourn.

Keeping the Music Alive

Zohra, Afghanistan’s award-winning first all-female orchestra, has captivated audiences around the world with its musical talent.

With the fall of Kabul, members still in the country have gone into hiding, while those who fled are advocating internationally to rescue their fellow musicians. The question remains: despite the challenges, will they be able to keep their music alive?
