The History of the Pig (Within Us)
Duration: 4h06Pigs have had a close connection to humans since prehistoric times. Over the centuries, stories, rules and legends have given the animal a profound meaning.

Duration: 2h52A film casting in Paris. Young actresses (and actors) try to incarnate the Swiss writer and traveller Annemarie Schwarzenbach (1908-1942).

An exploration of a former Cuban soldier's memories and loneliness through the examination of his body and his (extra)ordinary gestures. This is a war film without a single shot being fired, but with one wound, that of this special forces veteran searching for survivors among their former commando comrades, 30 years after their last mission.
