WETLANDS, dir. David F. Wnendt

Helen Hemel (Carla Juri) is an 18-year-old girl who uses vegetables for masturbation and believes that body hygiene is overrated in our society. She provokes others by saying and doing things most people would not even dare to imagine. She is sexually adventurous and visits a brothel to experience being with another woman. Helen's parents are divorced and she desperately wishes that they get back together. But her mother (Meret Becker) is depressive, hygiene-obsessed and mentally unstable, and her father (Axel Milburg) is insensitive and seems not to take notice of what people around him think. She also has a quiet, younger brother whom she teases by taking his stuffed bear.

THE SAVIOR FOR SALE, dir. Antoine Vitkine

A modern tale of globalization, THE SAVIOR FOR SALE delves into the unknown secrets of the art world and explores the influence that one painting can exert on personal and geopolitical interests, weaving links between the auction houses of New York, a revered da Vinci expert, an opportunistic Swiss go-between, a Russian oligarch, the Louvre in Paris and an Arabian prince. An astonishing journey on the hidden trails of money, power and deception behind this questionable masterpiece.

SOROS, dir. Jesse Dylan

Billionaire activist George Soros is one of the most influential and controversial figures of our time. Famous for betting against the Bank of England in 1992 and making a billion dollars in one day, he is maligned by ideologues on both the left and the right for daring to tackle the world’s problems and putting his money behind his fight – from free elections and freedom of the press to civil rights for minorities. With unprecedented access to the man and his inner circle, American director Jesse Dylan follows Soros across the globe and pulls back the curtain on his personal history, private wealth, and public activism. Soros reveals a complicated genius whose experience as a Jew during the Holocaust gave rise to a lifelong crusade against authoritarianism and hate.

COLD CASE HAMMARSKJÖLD, dir. Mads Brügger

In 1961, Secretary General of the UN, Dag Hammarskjöld, died in a plane crash in Northern Rhodesia. He was en route to ceasefire negotiations between non-combatant UN forces and troops from the breakaway state of Katanga. The circumstances of the plane crash were always unclear but now the UN are reopening the case on the suspicion of assassination. The question is, who wanted Hammarskjöld dead and can the truth be revealed today?

MORE THAN HONEY, dir. Markus Imhoof

Oscar-nominated director Markus Imhoof, who in his private life is the grandson of a Swiss beekeeper, tells the story of a serious crisis currently affecting the bee population. Millions of them have become extinct in the last decade. Does it mean that we are facing a total crisis? Using the latest technology that allows observation of phenomena invisible to the naked eye, Imhoof shows from his own perspective the role and beauty of bees, as well as the fatality of their fate. Traveling with a camera around the world: from Europe to the USA, Australia and China, he films the areas where bees live, and with the help of microscopic images shows how they live and behave in their nests and hives. In the film, we meet beekeepers, scientists and farmers, wrapped up in their passion for bees and eager to learn the secret of their mass death.

WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE WORLD'S ON FIRE, dir. Roberto Minervini

”What You Gonna Do When the World’s on Fire?” is the story of an African American community in the southern States during the summer of 2017, when a string of brutal killings of black men sent shockwaves throughout the country. A meditation on the state of race in America, this film is an intimate portrait into the lives of those who struggle for justice, dignity, and survival in a country which is not on their side.
