- DirectorMarcel WehnStarsMoritz BleibtreuHannelore ElsnerAlexandra Fischer-RoehlerThe "Enfant terrible", the scandalous person, the hope of the German cinema, the new Fassbinder. The director, author and autodidact Oskar Roehler separates the opinions. The actrice Hannelore Elsner even describes him as genius and monster. Roehler got his breakthrough with the film "No place to go", who was celebrated enthusiastically by its audience and critics. In contrast the film "Jew Suess - Rise and Fall" evoked powerful dispute, catcalls and scorcher because Roehler was accused of falsifying the history. What kind of man and history are behind all these contradictorily images? The documentary "The Touchable" tells the exceptional life of Oskar Roehler and looks for various autobiographical references in his films. In his childhood Roehler was confronted with desperate experiences, loneliness, disregard and loss due to his parents' self-realization as writer. These experiences are the motor for his artistic power and cross his entire film work - an oeuvre with lots of extremes.

It's about love for the dignity and courage of the human spirit that, even immersed in uttermost tragic conditions, fights for a better life, and in this case, with a friendly SMILE. DREAMING is a sensitive and lyrical portrayal of four children living in extreme poverty in Nicaragua. The film takes us beyond their hardships and gives voice to the youngsters, who are surprisingly funny, hopeful, and optimistic.

When painting, the kids momentarily escape the stresses of their reality into a world of dreams and ideas, a stark contrast to their lives outside: a vicious cycle of hunger, child labor, and violence.

- DirectorMatej MinacStarsJoe SchlesingerKarel ReiszHugo MoromA gripping documentary about the courage and determination of a young English stockbroker who saved the lives of 669 children. Between March 13 and August 2, 1939, Nicholas Winton organized 8 transports to take children from Prague to new homes in Great Britain, and kept quiet about it until his wife discovered a scrapbook documenting his unique mission in 1988. Winton was a successful 29-year-old stockbroker in London who "had an intuition" about the fate of the Jews when he visited Prague in 1939. He quietly but decisively got down to the business of saving lives. We learn how only two countries, Sweden and Britain, answered his call to harbor the young refugees; how documents had to be forged and how once foster parents signed for the children on delivery, that was the last he saw of them.

- DirectorFacundo MargueryThe Citroen Méhari is a lightweight all-terrain vehicle: 600 cc, two-cylinder and 28 HP, with a maximum speed of 60 kilometers (37 miles) per hour. Divorced and lonely, a Uruguayan named Mario Sabah decided to realize a longtime dream for his 50th birthday and tour the world in this car. So he quit his job and fixed up the blue Méhari that once served as the family wagon. Together with a camera and his two sons, he then embarked on a 150,000-kilometer (93,000-mile) journey across 45 countries and five continents. Once on the road, it doesn't take long for tensions to mount. After a clash of personalities halfway through Latin America, Mario continues alone, all the way to Canada. Sometimes he drives 600 kilometers at a stretch without even realizing it. "Do not ask me what happened in the middle, because I cannot tell." Once he is way up north, he puts the Méhari on the boat to Spain, and from there he travels through Europe, Asia and even Australia, defying heat, rain, dirt and all forms of chaos along the way - with plenty of stamina, far too little money and at a speed that's crucial to the story. In the words of his son Mattias, "At 60 kilometers per hour, you're like a chameleon. You go slowly, transforming along with the landscape you're going through."
