Europa - Ein Kontinent als Beute

For decades, Europeans between Finland and Cyprus were united by a promise of peace and greater prosperity. But since the financial crisis of 2008, the European project has been in its worst state since World War II. The continent is divided by neoliberal economic concepts, corruption, and banks that operate globally. Labor rights and social standards are being increasingly eroded, fueling ethnic hatred, class struggle, and nationalism, and driving people into the arms of right-wing populists. In Christoph Schuch's documentary "Europe – A Continent as Prey," important questions are raised about the problem, foremost among them, of course: How did it come to this? And how can we get out of this dangerous situation?

What If the Sky Was Empty

In a psychiatric hospital, Thissa d'Avila Bensalah, a theater director, works on a theatrical construction inspired by Rainer Werner Fassbinder's BREMEN FREEDOM in which she involves nine patients under psychiatric care. The play's main role of Geesche is played by Annick. But what does it mean to make a fictional character come to life when that character is so close to one's own experiences ? A number of questions arise concerning the impact of Geesche's story on the intimate and collective life of the actors and actresses involved in the play. Annick, Georges, Jean-Pascal, Jean-Paul, Anne, Nordine, Felix, Stephane and Marie-Pierre question how their real lives overlap with their theatrical roles. These questions eventually develop into a common reflection on how psychiatry, patriarchal violence and social constructions are ultimately interwoven.

Les mains libres

Frans Masereel is one of the most fascinating Belgian artists of the 20th century. His work, essentially composed of black and white engravings, is a cry of rebellion against the tragedies of his time. Forced into exile for his pacifist convictions, he embodied, alongside writers like Stefan Zweig and Romain Rolland, the dream of a cultural and brotherly Europe. Through an imaginary correspondence the director addresses to the artist, the film sketches the portrait of a free, touching man who, throughout his life, attempted to break free of art dealers and put his creations in the hands of all.
