Cyrilson Retires/Ewa
Directed by Haim Tabakman

(in Post-Production)

Synopsis

The year is 1975. Cyrilson, 55, retires, shuts down his transportation company, fires the old drivers and his vibrant, young secretary and goes home.

At home there’s Eva, 50, his wife, a holocaust survivor, beautiful and gentle on the outside, but strong-willed and brave on the inside.

The two of them have a daughter, Yehudit, 24, who has left home to study medicine - leaving Eva to be Cyrilson’s entire life, and Cyrilson to be Eva’s entire life.

Cyrilson finds it hard to get used to the empty stretches of spare time at home, while Eva continues to head out for work. He spends his days doing errands he’s been putting off for years. While cleaning up the messy shed, Cyrilson finds a letter from the bank and discovers he owns a property he knew nothing of.

Cyrilson goes to see the property he never knew he owned and discovers that the small apartment in the slums of Amidar has a tenant: Meni, 55, a holocaust survivor who was not able to assimilate into Israeli society and spends his days fixing old washing machines. Gradually, Cyrilson discovers that Meni is Eva’s long lost husband, back from the horrors of the holocaust, and that he and Eva have been having a secret relationship for the past 25 years, practically since the day Cyrilson and Eva were married. Cyrilson now has to question everything in life: Eva, Meni, his daughter and himself…

Where is Rocky II ?

Directed by Pierre Bismuth

(In Post-Production)

Synopsis

It is believed that internationally acclaimed American artist Ed Ruscha produced in the late 70's an artwork that almost no one has seen - "Rocky II" - a fake rock hidden amongst real ones in the vast space of the Californian desert.

The only known proof is a documentary featuring the artwork made by the BBC in 1979. Ruscha has acknowledged the existence of the piece, but refuses to provide any further information. If this artwork does exist... Where exactly is it to be found? Why is it hidden? What is there to hide ?

Director Pierre Bismuth hires a private detective and a screenwriting duo. The detective and the screenwriters will be filmed in separate sequences, in a traditional documentary style, as they engage in their respective practices and work rituals.

Each of them will have to work out the existence of the mysterious artwork. They will proceed in accordance to the customary methods of their fields:
The private detective will investigate the existence of the artwork and, if it is confirmed, try to find it.
The duo of screenwriters will elaborate together, through their work on the screenplay, a fictional hypothesis about the existence of the mysterious artwork.

In his investigations, the detective interviews all possible witnesses in order to provide evidences about the existence and the location of Rocky II.

The different stages of the investigation are filmed, resulting in a documentary that could end in the discovery of the famous rock in the desert, or not.

On the road mit Sócrates

A film with Daniel Cohn-Bendit,
directed by Niko Apel

Synopsis:

In Brazil, Football is more than sport. More than making money. In Brazil, Football is a passion. And it’s also a field for social commitment. The cornerstone for this has been laid more than 40 years ago from exceptional footballer Sócrates with his „Democracia Corinthiana“.During the World Cup 2014, Daniel Cohn-Bendit travelled through the country with the aim to find out, how much of Sócrates’ spirit is still noticeable in the land of football. The film is a poetic essay about football, life, Brazil and democracy. Not least it is a homage to Sócrates, who actually wanted to join this trip, but died shortly before the shooting started.

Directed by Michale Boganim

Synopsis

April 26th, 1986. On that day, Anya and Piotr celebrate their marriage. Little Valery and his father Alexei, a physicist at the power station in Chernobyl, plant an apple tree. Nikolai, the forest warden, makes his rounds in the surrounding forests.

Then, an accident occurs at the power station. Insidiously, the radioactivity transforms nature. The rain is yellow, the trees turn red. Piotr, a volunteer fireman, leaves to extinguish the flames. He never returns. A few days later, the population is evacuated. Alexei, forced to keep silent by the authorities, prefers to disappear.

Ten years later, the deserted Pripiat has become a no man’s land and a bizarre tourist attraction. Anya comes to the Zone every month as a tour guide, while Valery goes there to look for traces of his father. And Nikolai continues to cultivate a poisonous garden. With the passing of time, will they be able to accept the hope of a new life?

On the Edge (Sur la planche)

Directed by Leila Kilani

Synopsis

In Tangier’s old town, two young Casablancan girls - BADIA and IMANE - live their lives amongst the army of workers who inhabit the city. Peeling shrimps by day in a spotless shrimp factory then turning tricks by night, the girls make extra money by fencing meagre goods stolen from their nocturnal ‘clients’. Beyond Tangier lies the “Free Zone”, a symbol for global world sub-contracting.

It is Europe on Moroccan land, on African land: close, tangible, yet accessible only to those with a work permit. One evening BADIA and IMANE encounter two other girls, ASMA and NAWAL who are slightly more advantaged than them in that they work in the Free Zone which BADIA sees as a springboard into a more material world. Strengthened by their new friendship they form what BADIA feels to be a girl power gang where they can conquer all: cosmopolitan cafes, upscale oceanfront houses, better paying jobs and luxury goods -- altogether more opportunities. The girls explore every corner of this new space and make it theirs from dusk to dawn; they never sleep and they don’t stop moving. But they encounter other opportunists and gangsters who put even more temptation in BADIA’s sights and they are certainly not afraid to give her a run for her money.

Every Day is a Holiday

Directed by Dima El-Horr

Synopsis

Three women are riding in the same bus through today's Lebanon for a day's journey towards the same destination: the men's prison. The first woman is visiting her husband, in jail since their wedding day. The second has one single goal in mind: to have her husband, who is serving a long sentence, sign the divorce papers that will finally free her. The third is traveling unwillingly, with fear in her stomach: she is secretly carrying in her bag the weapon her husband, one of the prison guards, forgot at home.

An accident throws the journey off track. Lost in the middle of nowhere, the women become prey to their anxieties and obsessions. As the land around them becomes more and more arid, they hear rumors of massacres and throngs of refugees... And yet they go on, pushing further into what eventually turns into an interior journey, where individual life and collective memory blend and blur into one another. Is this a dream, a nightmare, a fantasy or each woman's own reality?

Double Take

Directed by Johan Grimonprez

Synopsis

"If you meet your double, you should kill him". Acclaimed Belgian director Johan Grimonprez (dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y) casts Alfred Hitchcock as a paranoid history professor, unwittingly caught up in a double take on the cold war period. The master says all the wrong things at all the wrong times while politicians on both sides desperately clamor to say the right things, live on TV.
