Parents in Progress

To get over her insecurities as a parent and make her son happy on his eighth birthday, she decides to throw him a birthday party in their small flat and invite over his school friends and their parents. For Simona, this birthday is about to pose quite the surprising dilemma between allowing her son to embrace his true self and a mother’s fierce desire to protect her child from their potentially cruel surroundings. This is the last conundrum she was expecting to have to face on a day that is already rife with anxiety.

Chair Times

"Chair Times" charts a course through an ocean of chairs. In the focus are 125 objects from the Collection of the Vitra Design Museum. Arranged according to their year of production, they illustrate development from 1807 to the very latest designs straight off the 3D printer, forming a timeline to modern seating design. The film features many people whose vocations involve design and who are experts in the field, such as designers Hella Jongerius, Antonio Citterio and Ronan Bouroullec, architects and collectors Arthur Rüegg and Ruggero Tropeano, architect David Chipperfield, Director Emeritus of MAK Vienna/Los Angeles Peter Noever, Mateo Kries, Director of the Vitra Design Museum, Vitra Design Museum curators Amelie Klein, Jochen Eisenbrand and collection curator Serge Mauduit. And your guide through the history of chairs is Rolf Fehlbaum, Chairman Emeritus of Vitra.

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.

Amanecer en mi tierra

The partnership of Vecinos Sin Techo and the Lof Mapuche Curruhuinca, through a National Act, took control of lands that were previously in the hands of the Army. They received 400 hectareas as a collective property in San Martín de los Andes, a highly coveted city for tourism infrastructure developers, because of the beautiful landscapes and the mountain sports, where the public use of natural assets as rivers, forests, lakes and the snow are increasingly limited. In this place they are building 250 houses and had reached new levels of organization and dignity.

What Is a Good Tax?

Too high, misused, unfair... a large part of the French and Europeans criticize taxes. From tax-rascal to tax revolt, the movement of yellow vests in France has returned to the center of attention the question of consent to tax. How to explain a different resistance to taxes from one country to another without tax pressure being an explanation? Is there a "good" tax? Jean Quatremer takes us on a journey to the tax center across Europe, to meet those who pay it, those who decide it, those who study it... or those who allow to avoid it.

Joël et Krystel, vivre sa vie

Joël and Krystel had everything they needed to live comfortably: a house, a family, a job. However, something was missing: "I couldn't see myself doing the same job until I was 65. " Their shared dream took shape around the vineyard: selling wine ? No, selling THEIR wine, a high-quality, organic wine. They wanted to create something that didn't exist before, something that reflected who they were and that they could be proud of. Above all, they wanted to be free.
