La Bataille de l'acier

One year: this is the time left to the employees of the Ascoval steel plant to save their factory and their future. During these months of sacrifice, doubt and hope, Eric Guéret, author and director of the documentary, accompanies the management and employees in a race against time to increase productivity and try to find a buyer. For many, this steel mill, which was the story of a lifetime, becomes a matter of survival. A personal struggle that is also symbolic of a problem intrinsic to this documentary: French deindustrialization. Can we still have heavy industry in France today?

Una selfie con Timochenko

Juan Pablo, a mid-level official of the Colombian presidency, wants at all costs to get up to Natalia, an actress and television presenter who is far from his possibilities, because this "mommy", he believes, would not notice a guy in wheelchair, unless you give access to the coverage of the news of the moment: the signing of peace. The problem is that Juan Pablo is not even invited to the big event, so he decides to dismantle it by taking it to Rwanda to learn more about the process of reconciliation between Hutus and Tutsis and return to the country in time for the signing and thus achieve, not only in the official photo but "lag" a selfie with Timochenko. That will surely make Natalia fall exhausted to the wheels of her chair.

They created a testament to Münster which, in its making and story, is surely singular.

Watna

On a cargo boat. Two Dutch brothers in their sixties. Faces and bodies marked by a whole life spent traveling on the Rhein, the Maas, the Danube... They are born on the water and the boat is their only house. The Watna measures 86 meters in length, 11 in width and 12 meters in depth. Most of the time Harrie and Leon are alone in their daily routine, while outside the landscape flows restlessly away at a constant speed of twelve kilometers per hour. Huge industries and romantic castles. Cargo boats and luxury cruises. Observed from the cabin, the river banks appear unapproachable and fleeting, bound to a parallel temporal state where every matter seems to float suspended. Meals are often solitary and there is only little time to rest: Watna cannot stop its rush against time, since the profit on carriage of raw materials barely covers the costs of the shipping.

Donizetti: L'Elisir d'amore

A village somewhere in the Italian countryside, a wayside inn on a road crossed by the occasional dog. Nothing more. Laurent Pelly’s production presents a deserted landscape in which the turbulent arrival of Doctor Dulcamara causes a sensation. And with good reason! He is said to be the inventor of a mysterious love potion… In opera, love philtres often provoke terrible tragedies. They also provide the pretext for this gentle comedy in which Sergeant Belcore and the timid Nemorino vie with each other for beautiful Adina’s heart. The stage is set! Bring on the music, which, if we are to believe Donizetti, was composed in a fortnight!

Entremundos

Social hotspots can be found everywhere. Recognizing this, rapper Carlos Zamora started his project Rapflektion in Braunschweig and the surrounding area, to educate teenagers to communicate responsibly, respectfully and without violence through rap. For the past seven years he has been travelling to Latin American countries known for their drug cartels and violence. Other than church initiatives, Zamora's rap workshops for disadvantaged youth are frequently the only projects available for these teenagers.

Snowbirds

Every year, thousands of Quebecers flock south to escape the harsh winters. Using a quirky Wes Anderson–inspired aesthetic, Snowbirds examines their hibernation destination: the French-speaking community of Hallandale Beach in Florida. There we meet characters like Agathe, affectionately nicknamed "Aunty" by the other seniors, an 88-year-old Quebecoise who eats chocolate bars and drinks Pepsi for lunch. Her secret to a pill-free old age? A fanatical worship of the sun. Many others come for the same reason, and together their days at this campground community are dictated by English conversation classes, jaunts to the beach and afternoon lawn bowling. With lots of tenderness and good humour, the film considers the joys and woes of aging, the importance of community and American-Canadian cultural differences.
