- The early films of Wim Wenders are now regarded as landmarks of European film. Alice in the Cities, Wrong Move and Kings of the Road became foundations of the German New Wave and cemented the reputation of their director. In One Who Set Forth: Wim Wenders' Early Years Marcel Wehn explores the background to these films. Through personal recollection and rare home movie footage, it documents the director's early life, from experiments with his first camera, via his deviation from a career in medicine in favour of art and film, through to international recognition for the Road Trilogy. Central to these were themes that became cornerstones of all his work: national identity, the importance of personal relationships and the allure of the road. With contributions from the director and the many collaborators who helped define his vision, One Who Set Forth is a compelling account of Wim Wenders' life and work.

- During the 1980s in the German industrial Ruhrgebiet a young man takes up acting lessons at his private teacher's house. One day he finds out something unsettling: looking out the window in his teacher's living room for a brief moment only he sees his teacher's homeland Israel. Today, thirty years on, the former student - under the impression of the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East - is packing up his bags and traveling to Israel to pursue his teacher's traces. He is carrying his teacher's house folded up as excess baggage - it is going to be installed in the foreign landscape of Israel: a room for remembrance, a border between home and away, a house as well as a landscape. The autobiographical film is a montage of documentary and fictional material. It is retracing the acting student's path from thirty years ago and accompanying today's search for his teacher's trajectory. Joseph Millo, in 1944, was the founder of the Cameri Theatre in Tel Aviv. The search makes us witness many encounters between the student and people who knew his teacher in Germany and Israel. It focuses on questions about the meaning of home, of tradition - and of the power of Performing Arts.

- This is a film about the people living in the Alaotra region in Madagascar, and about the changes in their social and natural environments. This is also a film about the Bandro, the Alaotra gentle lemur (Hapalemur alaotrensis), that can survive only in the marshes surrounding the lake, and that is facing extinction due to these changes. This is also a film about research; on how to tackle complexity and grasp change. The AlaReLa (Alaotra Resilience Landscape) project aims to understand the various livelihood strategies of people like farmers or fishers, who use the lake, the marshes, and the land surrounding the lake to produce food and charcoal and other sources of energy. Follow us to some of Madagascar's hidden places - far away from the touristic centers - to find out what can happen when modern times seep slowly into traditional ways of living. What can be done to strike a balance between yesterday and tomorrow; between conservation and development?
