Storm

dir. Mans Marlind, Björn Stein

Sweden, 2005 - 110

DD is young and cool. He knows where it’s at. Or thinks he does. A strange woman – Lova – enters DD’s life, and against his will, he is forced into a series of horrific events, completely unaware that a struggle between good and evil has begun in which he himself is the arena. The multi-layered plot is as much a journey for the audience as for its main character, leading into a dark, intriguing world where action, drama, comic books and computer games meet. Crossing over from advertising and TV, the directors masterfully cut across different genres and styles, all the while raising the question of what is real and what is imagined.

Chicha tu madre

dir. Gianfranco Quattrini

Peru / Argentina, 2006 - 96

Julio Cesar is a taxi driver in the capital of Peru, Lima. He is also an amateur tarot reader. One day, he learns that his teenage daughter has become pregnant. From that moment, he undertakes a hazardous process of transformation, during which he will understand that, even though he may not be the owner of his destiny, he can still find his salvation. The first Argentinean film made using the digital intermediate process. The screenplay was written by director Gianfranco Quattrini together with Christopher Vasquez, one of Peru's young literary talents. The original score was created by Axel Krygier, one of Latin America's most innovative contemporary musicians. The film also includes numerous fragments of Peruvian popular music. The film was produced by BD Cine, one of Argentina's most prestigious independent production companies. They have produced award-winning feature films such as “El abrazo partido” by Daniel Burman (2004) and “The Motorcycle Diaries” by Walter Salles (2004).

Tough Enough

Knallhart

dir. Detlev Buck

Germany, 2006 - 98

Fifteen-year-old Michael Polischka gets a rude awakening when his mother breaks up with her rich boyfriend. She is forced to move them into a dumpy apartment in a rough ethnic neighbourhood, far from the posh suburbs in which they had grown accustomed to living. Beatings and extortion make public high school miserable for Michael. Life at home isn’t much better. A chance meeting with urbane crime lord Hamal and his henchman, Barut, turns Michael’s life around. Hamal and Barut take him under their wing. An authentic atmosphere and candid look at the social problems of those who have fallen through the net and are desperately fighting to stay alive. An example of the emerging power of new German filmmaking.

Sehnsucht

dir. Valeska Grisebach

Germany, 2005 - 90

Markus is a volunteer fireman and is married to Ella. They love each other and lead a quiet life in a village near Berlin. Their relationship seems blissful. They give the impression of being as innocent and unsuspecting as a couple of children. One day, Markus goes on a business trip to a large town with the fire brigade. After a night of heavy drinking he wakes up in another woman’s apartment. He can barely remember what went on. An unusual love story with echoes of the melodramatic and the fairy-tale. With its original approach, this is more than just another unfaithfulness film. A great performance by non-professional actors, fine humour, and a striking ending.
