Featuring Annette Humpe, Blixa Bargeld, Nena, Nick Cave, David Bowie, Gudrun Gut, Westbam, Joy Division, Zazie de Paris, Die Toten Hosen, the "real" Heino, Einstürzende Neubauten, Die Ärzte, The Unknown, Malaria!, Notorious Reflexes and many more. |

Social worker Ballack keeps only a loose eye on the group, which initially makes their self-imposed order possible. But when individual needs, conflicts, and boundaries clash, the fragile balance begins to falter. |

| For 40 years, the Mitte district was at the center of Berlin, followed by 40 years of separation by a wall. The western part was a wound of the Soviet empire. In the early 90s, after the fall of the wall, a habitable space for people from the former western foreign countries emerged in the Spandauer Vorstadt. International young artists found vacant, affordable apartments in the formerly strictly guarded border area near Friedrichstraße and experienced a freedom that had disappeared in their home countries. The film GESTERN MITTE MORGEN tells the story of these people, their places of life, longings, their everyday life and their art. |

| In the southern Chinese forgery town of Dafen, millions of masterpieces are created every day: thousands of painters copy the icons of art history — from van Gogh to Monet — while families live, sleep and dream amid the paintings. A Richter for 30 euros, a small van Gogh for 45, Monet's Water Lilies for 120, Rembrandt's self-portraits for 150 — even the smile of the Mona Lisa is available. Every year more than 10 million paintings leave the studios — in bulk orders to Europe and America. But who are the people who create these artful copies? Uniquely and humorously told by Stanislaw Mucha. |

| Testament is a humorous yet deeply layered Bosnian comedy set in the early 1990s, just before the outbreak of war. The film demystifies the idea of the "will" (testament)-a common source of family conflict and tragic outcomes in Bosnian rural life. The story follows Asad, a young man who is stunned to discover that he did not inherit any property after his father's death. In his attempt to find purpose and stability, he becomes entangled in the world of industrial Zenica and its infamous steel factory, Zeljezara, navigating the harsh reality of working-class life while clinging to his dreams of education and dignity-without ever fully leaving the village. Alongside him is his best friend Dzevad, a crafty and witty trickster whose small-time scams offer sharp, comedic insight into the mindset of a community caught between tradition and transition. Through DZevad's antics, the film playfully exposes the contradictions, hypocrisy, and vulnerability of people in that era. Using humor to explore serious themes-such as workers' rights, the collapse of values, family ties, and the illusion of social mobility-Testament paints a poignant yet funny portrait of ordinary Bosnian life on the edge of a historical rupture. |
