"Wenn dein Vater sich nicht mehr an dich erinnert, hört er dann auf, dein Vater zu sein?" Sieben Tage nach einem harmlosen Unfall erwacht ein Mann in einem Bett neben einer Frau, die er nie zuvor gesehen hat. Im Spiegel fällt sein Blick auf ein Gesicht, das er zum ersten Mal in seinem Leben zu sehen glaubt. Innerhalb weniger Sekunden sind die ersten 45 Lebensjahre dieses Mannes ausgelöscht worden - für immer. In den 18 Jahren seit jenem schicksalsträchtigen Autounfall hat sich ein neuer Mensch entwickelt: Er nennt sich "New Richard", trennte sich von seiner Familie und fängt zusammen mit einer neuen Freundin ein neues Leben an, weit weg von seiner alten Existenz. Der Filmemacher Rick Minnich ist der älteste Sohn von "Old Richard". Viele Jahre nach dessen "Neustart" begibt er sich auf die Reise zurück in die Heimat und in die Vergangenheit seines Vaters.

J'accuse is an 'essay-istic' documentary in which Greenaway's fierce criticism of today's visual illiteracy is argued by means of a forensic search of Rembrandt's Nightwatch. Greenaway explains the background, the context, the conspiracy, the murder and the motives of all its 34 painted characters who have conspired to kill for their combined self-advantage. Greenaway leads us through Rembrandt's paintings into 17th century Amsterdam. He paints a world that is democratic in principle, but is almost entirely ruled by twelve families. The notion exists of these regents as charitable and compassionate beings. However, reality was different.

Wasser bedeutet Leben. Doch nach neuesten Studien leiden mehr als 30% der Menschheit unter den Folgen der Wasserknappheit. Jeden Tag sterben 4000 Kinder weltweit an Krankheiten, die durch Wasserverschmutzung hervorgerufen werden. Durch die Privatisierung der natürlichen Wasserquellen durch internationale Großkonzerne wird diese Situation noch weiter verschärft. Darf Wasser zum Privileg der Reichen werden? Wer den Zugang zum Wasser kontrolliert, hat den Zugang zur Macht, schreibt die Süddeutsche Zeitung. Genau diese These unterstreicht die preisgekrönte Regisseurin Irena Salina in ihrem eindringlichen Film. Fünf Jahre lang haben sie ihre Reisen rund um den Globus geführt, um die Entwicklung und die Aus- wirkungen der "Wasserarmut" zu dokumentieren. Das Ergebnis ist ein alarmierender Weckruf, der den Blick auf den Umgang mit der wichtigsten Ressource des Menschen verändern wird.

Vardas autobiografische Erzählung beginnt mit akustischen und haptisch-materiellen Erinnerungsspuren: die Möbel im Schlafzimmer der Eltern, das Quietschen der Schranktür, das handbetriebene Grammophon auf dem die Mutter manchmal Schuberts Unvollendete hörte. Die Regisseurin versucht ein Re-enactment, in dem sie zur unvollendeten Symphonie das Quietschen eines Scharniers montiert: eine Tonmontage aus klassischer Musik und musique concrète. Dieses Arrangement ist ein Vorspiel innerhalb der Titelsequenz, die die Erinnerungsspuren aus der Kindheit in eine Installation transformieren: ein Bettgestell als Perspektivrahmen am Strand.

The early films of Wim Wenders are now regarded as landmarks of European film. Alice in the Cities, Wrong Move and Kings of the Road became foundations of the German New Wave and cemented the reputation of their director. In One Who Set Forth: Wim Wenders' Early Years Marcel Wehn explores the background to these films. Through personal recollection and rare home movie footage, it documents the director's early life, from experiments with his first camera, via his deviation from a career in medicine in favour of art and film, through to international recognition for the Road Trilogy. Central to these were themes that became cornerstones of all his work: national identity, the importance of personal relationships and the allure of the road. With contributions from the director and the many collaborators who helped define his vision, One Who Set Forth is a compelling account of Wim Wenders' life and work.

In the picture-postcard community of North Vancouver, filmmaker Murray Siple follows men who have turned bottle-picking, their primary source of income, into the extreme sport of shopping cart racing.

The films takes a deep look into the lives of the men who race carts, the adversity they face, and the appeal of cart racing despite the risk.
