- DirectorFrank BeauvaisStarsArno KononowLast June I met Arno, a 20-year-old boy. I fell in love with him. He didn't. To be sure I'd see him again I asked him to take part in a project. Compilation, 12 instants d'amour non partagé (Compilation, 12 moments of unshared love) came out of this. All summer long, every day from June 21st to September 21st, I asked him to come to my place to listen to music. This music was to become the sole form of dialogue between us two, telling him about my feelings, teasing him, soothing him, pushing him...

Accompanied by a dyslexic, opera-loving punk the Bookseller of Belfast treads a new path through the pages yellowed by time and cigarette smoke.
- DirectorNicolas HumbertStarsMilo Yellow HairKinga OszAndrew KempPeople's associations with flora goes back a long way, taking us back to our own roots as well as to new ways of life and creative potential that reveal themselves as we deal with plants. 'Wild Plants' is a film that follows these clues and takes us to urban gardens in Detroit, to Native American philosopher Milo Yellow Hair in Wounded Knee, to the wild plantations of Zurich's legendary 'Guerilla Gardener' Maurice Maggi, and to the innovative horticulture cooperative 'Les Jardins de Cocagne' in Geneva.

- DirectorBoris GerretsWhat would it be like, to enter into the life of a complete stranger? The film evolved from two chance encounters in the streets of London. It was entirely shot on a mobile phone camera. Sandrine is an attractive young woman on a mission to find a husband. Steve is a seasoned beggar, struggling with drug addiction. Precious is a poet who became Steve's girlfriend. Originally begun as a documentary, the film developed its own distinct dynamic where the confines between fact and fiction became blurred. This raises questions about the relationship between filmed and filmmaker. The closer he gets to his subjects, the more the obstruction of his camera seems to distance him from them. Yet ultimately People... reveals a personal and humane space that only came into existence precisely because it had been filmed.
- DirectorMarc SchmidtMatthew's autism give him a special way to see the world, but at the same time it causes him to have legal problems with his landlords, who want to have him evicted due to the alterations he makes in his apartment.
- DirectorVictor KossakovskyStarsAnna Fyodorovna BelovaMikhail Fyodorovich BelovVasiliy Fyodorovich Belov"Belovy (the Belovs)" is a breathtaking portrait of a troubled peasant family. It's poetry in the form of a documentary that won many prizes. Beautifully shot in vintage black and white, the film tells the story of two times widow Anna Belova who lives together with her brother Mikhail. Blending the two personalities, Kosakovsky characterizes the true Russian soul: she is the rational worker, honest and strong - he is the drunken poet, the idealist, his philosophy fades into radical nonsense time after time.
- DirectorNaomi KawaseStarsKazuo NishiiNaomi KawaseChizuko NishiiThe director agrees to film the last days of her chronically ill friend, the photographer and film critic Kazuo Nishii.
- DirectorSergei DvortsevoyThis excellent low-key documentary records the daily life of an elderly blind man in Russia. He spends his days at home in a tiny flat making bags out of string. His only companion is a cat, which persists in unraveling the man's bags and tangling the thread. Once the man has completed a set of string bags, he goes out to the street-corner and tries to give them away to passersby for free. Sadly, no one wants them, even though they are much nicer than the grimy plastic bags commonly used on that street.
- DirectorJoão Moreira SallesStarsSantiago Badariotti MerloDocumentary about Santiago, a peculiar man who used to work for the director and his parents as a butler. The material was filmed in 1992 but, for some strange reason, the director felt he couldn't edit it and put it aside. In 2005 he remembers the unfinished film and starts its edition.
- DirectorAlan BerlinerStarsAlan BerlinerOscar BerlinerA portrait of the director's father, searching for the extraordinary in the subject's seemingly normal existence.
