- On November 20, 1979 at 5:30 AM, hundreds of armed men take over the Grand Mosque of Mecca, transforming the holiest shrine of Islam into a fortress and a trap for almost 100.000 pilgrims inside. This is the beginning of the SIEGE OF MECCA.
- The first film about the Doomsday Clock and the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists that created it in 1947 - to warn and inspire action on the greatest threats to mankind: nuclear war, climate change and digital disinformation.
- How the dramatic year 1979 marked the end of the WW2 era and the beginning of our present time.
- The plague of 1348 in Boccaccio's "Decameron" and our present, poisoned by Covid-19, are 700 years apart. However, both are historical caesuras that divide our lives into two eras: the time before and the time after the pandemic. This film looks at the moment in between. It interweaves two dozen people in the state of emergency of the first wave of Covid-19 and the global lock-down with the universal work of Boccaccio. The result is, on the one hand, a snapshot of perhaps the strangest and most emotional time of our current pandemic, and on the other, a reflection of society in forced upheaval that goes far beyond this moment. DECAMERON 2020 reflects sense and nonsense, life and death and all the shallows in the before and after of human existence.
- The hot days and electrifying nights of quirky Addis Ababa are the playground of a new generation of Ethiopian musicians. This film is as improvised as a jam-session, very close to its protagonists and with gorgeous music and images.
- A tribute to the adventurous life of Princess Irène Sviatopolk-Mirska, the last surviving member of the legendary family that goes back to the 7th century and the founders of what is today known as Russia.
