État d’alerte sa mère! (State of Emergency Motherfucker!)

Amar is 14, top of his class and the main breadwinner in his family. In addition to school, he also works two jobs six and a half days a week. This short observational documentary is a simple journey with Amar through his daily routine.
Dark Chamber
The Camera Obscura (latin for Dark Chamber) is an optical device that led to the photographic camera. It consists of a box or a room with a hole on one side. This film is a reconstruction of an event that took place near the border of Austria and Hungary in the Summer of 2015.
A Man Falls From the Sky (Valt Een Man Uit De Lucht)
Ton and Ineke Korrel enjoy their warm afternoon soup when a man crashes down from the sky, in their garden. Ton sees a dangerous species on his lawn, while Ineke wants to help this heavily injured man. The situation escalates. The couple will soon find out who their other half really is. Hopefully before it’s too late.
Migrants
Two polar bears are driven into exile due to global warming. They will encounter brown bears along their journey, with whom they will try to cohabitate.
Was Bleibt (What remains)
At the end of her wedding day, the bride Elaha has locked herself in the bathroom. The last guests are waiting impatiently outside the door, but only her two closest friends are allowed to enter. Secretly they want to insert an artificial hymen inside her, but Elaha is hesitating. Is it not completely bizarre to start a marriage with a lie? Torn between tradition and her own morality, she has to take the right decision. The clock is ticking and the bathroom seems to be getting smaller and smaller.
Contrast
Two little men, one black in a white world and the other white in a black world, fight each other. Why?
Schwarzfahrer
Le nom du fils (The Name of the Son)
Tina and Fred, a middle-aged couple seem desperate in their search for a boy’s name. For who? Why? A humorous and thoughtful look on a social issue.
