A documentary about vivid punk and alternative rock scene of Subotica, the northernmost Serbian city, through the periods of communism, tyranny of the 1990s regime, and economic transition at the beginning of XXI century. Seen through the eyes of its witnesses, these musicians and creative artists deliberately refused the imposed way of behavior, hence staying "invisible" to everyday people.

The movie revolves around the factory worker figure evolution from post-WWII in Italy, with the emigration from southern to northern regions, the years of economic boom, the strikes, the riots and the infamous march of the 40000 in Turin in 1980.

When Edward Abbey died in 1989 at the age of sixty-two, the American West lost one of its most eloquent and passionate advocates. Through his novels, essays, letters and speeches, Edward Abbey consistently voiced the belief that the West was in danger of being developed to death, and that the only solution lay in the preservation of wilderness. Abbey authored twenty-one books in his lifetime, including Desert Solitaire, The Monkey Wrench Gang, The Brave Cowboy, and The Fool's Progress. His comic novel The Monkey Wrench Gang helped inspire a whole generation of environmental activism. A writer in the mold of Twain and Thoreau, Abbey was a larger-than-life figure as big as the West itself.

Someone Else’s Country looks critically at the radical economic changes implemented by the 1984 Labour Government - where privatisation of state assets was part of a wider agenda that sought to remake New Zealand as a model free market state. The trickle-down ‘Rogernomics’ rhetoric warned of no gain without pain, and here the theory is counterpointed by the social effects (redundant workers, Post Office closures). Made by Alister Barry in 1996 when the effects were raw, the film draws extensively on archive footage and interviews with key “witnesses to history”.

Draining two million cubic meters of water to protect a small animal in danger of extinction. This has been the task of those who have worked to remove the Enobieta reservoir and ensure a safe haven for the Pyrenean desman. This amazing story took place in Artikutza, the estate that San Sebastián bought in Navarre a century ago and which is now one of the best-preserved natural sites on the Cantabrian coast. In Normandy, meanwhile, the large Vezins dam has been removed. Its demolition will allow salmon to return to the Sélune River. Abandoned dams on rivers are barriers to biodiversity, and their demolition allows us to imagine a more habitable planet. That future will depend on small gestures, or large ones, such as those in Vezins and Enobia.

The newsreel consists of four stories. The first one is about the collection of ancient wind-up dolls collected by the head of the Moscow Puppet Theater S.V. Obraztsov. The second is about inextinguishable matches made at the Balabanovskaya match factory in the Kaluga region. The third is about gold embroidery – the ancient Russian art of embroidery. The fourth is about a polar bear and her four cubs. All stories are represented by puppets.

In our society, many people love animals. But when it comes to researching or deciding on the origin, breeding, training, protection or slaughter of animals, people tend to assume the right to determine the animals' fate. A butcher slaughters animals while respecting their dignity, an ethicist visits his animal neighbors in the zoo, people on farms lovingly look after rescued animals, a horse trainer demands more discipline from herself than from her horses, a shepherdess is part of her herd Beekeeper researches the nature of bees, a dog coach offers protection and care for dogs, and even a priest blesses dogs in church services. In his documentary, Bernhard Koch shows various approaches to how respectful relationships between people and animals are possible in our modern, human-shaped world. At the same time, the film illustrates how challenging it can be to do justice to animals in this world designed by humans.
