Amber is a 17-year-old teen. Together with best friend Sebastian, they share a world far away from the judging eyes of the society as two queer youngsters. But when Sebastian falls in love with Amber’s girlfriend everything starts to fall apart.

Fly so Far follows Teodora Vásquez and The Seven-teen, the women accused of aggravated homicide in El Salvador for having had a miscarriage. The film is conducted by the story of Teodora, the spokesperson of the group, who after being imprisoned for eleven years was released in 2018 and became an activist for women’s rights. Her case has become the symbol of the extremism in the criminalization of abortion and the cruelty against women within the Salvadoran system, but also of empowerment, resilience and solidarity.

In For Somebody Else, we follow three women on an emotional and thought-provoking journey as they borrow their bodies and carry someone else’s children. They invite us in, sharing their experiences with us; before, during and after pregnancies as surrogate mothers. With remarkable intimacy and access, the film captures the everyday lives of these women, including the exhausting routine of hormone syringes and doctor’s visits, as well as tensions in relationships with loved ones and, not least, with the recipient families.

“What the hell is ‘an intelligent body?’ Can anybody tell me how to make my body more intelligent?” At the age of 24, the actor Lena Nyman asks herself this question after reading the reviews of the film I am Curious Yellow by Vilgot Sjöman. The film caused intense controversy in Sweden and internationally in the late 1960s and Lena was its leading actor. One of Sweden’s most prominent critics wrote “I’m requesting the intelligent body. Lena Nyman’s body lacks spirit, I would even call it dumb”. Lena Nyman was a woman before her time and had to pay a price for it. This film highlights her great artistry and genius, but also takes a closer look at her defiance and destructive behavior.

Isabel Andersson is a Swedish documentary filmmaker and Lena is her directorial debut. Earlier she has been working as a director’s assistant to Jerzy Sladkowski and researching several film projects, amongst others Jane Magnusson’s Bergman – A Year in a Life (2018).

Communist ideals have long lost their value in Yiwu, a city with 600 Christmas factories, in which Christmas as we know it is produced for the entire world. With rising factory wages, most workers can now afford newest iPhones, but they still live in crowded factory dormitories, all migrants in their own country. Stuck in between the Chinese traditions and the newly discove-red Chinese dream, they want their own businesses, they want to be rich, to be independent, to be in love.

Mladen Kovacevic’s films have been selected to hundreds of festivals including Visions du Réel, IDFA, Hot Docs, DOK Leipzig, CPH:DOX, FIDMarseille, where they have won numerous awards.

The story about Tiny Tim’s rise to stardom is the ultimate fairytale. And so is his downfall. Either considered a freak or a genius Tiny Tim left no one unaffected. His wedding on the Carson Show was watched by over 45 million Americans and his queer personality have been celebrated by the likes of Bob Dylan, Marilyn Manson and Johnny Depp. Through Tiny´s intense diaries, and interviews with family and this film paints an intimate portrait of one of the oddest careers in showbiz, ever.

Johan von Sydow is a director and producer at pubcaster SVT’s well renowned arts and culture show Kobra. His first two documentaries (Mare Kandre and The Jussi Bjoerling Saga) were called “the two best Swedish cultural docs in the 2000s” by a leading tv-critic, and his latest (Ratata Through the ́ 80s) was, according to another critic, “a benchmark for future Swedish pop music documentaries”. The Jussi Bjoerling Saga was nominated as Best documentary in the Swedish TV-award Kristallen.

Genesis(GENESIS) DIRECTED BY DAVID HERDIES, GEORG GÖTMARK

It’s often said that war is inhumane. In Genesis this assumption is flipped around, because maybe there is nothing more humane than war. Humanity has always been at war, and it seems that going to war over abstract ideas such as borders, religion or freedom is something that distinguishes us from all animals on the planet.
