- DirectorHernán VilchezThe urgent story of the mystical Wixarika People, the Huicholes: one of the last pre-Hispanic alive cultures in Latin America. Their struggle against the Mexican government and multinational mining corporations to preserve Wirikuta, their most sacred territory and home of the famous peyote cactus. The mining activities of the Canadian companies that got the concessions in 2010 to prospect this protected area, rich in silver, gold and other minerals, are seen by the Wixarika and their supporters as a great menace for the delicate biodiversity of this unique ecosystem, listed by the UNESCO as World Cultural and Natural Heritage. An unequal and controversial fight from today that triggers the global debate between ancient cultural values, the exploitation of nature and the inevitable development of the peoples.

- DirectorMaria BäckStarsFinn Hedegaard JensenBodil Vinther SørensenOle MehlIf the human concept of time ceases at the moment of death, is it then physically possible to experience eternity? Can we affect this last moment in life? Can we build our own eternity? 'I Remember When I Die' takes partly place at life's last destination, a hospice - and is partly shot in a land of memories and provocative choices. We meet the patients, their stand-ins and their dreams. Death is a process. Not black and white. If you could hold on to a memory forever, which one would it be? A highly original journey into the mystery of consciousness.
