At popular South Beach University, filthy rich super-snob Victoria English is the absolute queen of leading Greek student club, Sigma Sigma. In order to achieve her crowning ambition, winning FHM Magazine's annual best sorority, she must recruit atypical 'Sigmies' to fulfill the diversity criteria. Ambitious sycophant pledge Kristen Haas helps her attract 'losers' (too poor, ugly, unfashionable), who are cruelly put through excruciating hazing, without intent to actually enroll them. Gloria, the brightest and most assertive pledge, wins the heart of Derek 'baby Dick', Victoria's ideal, yet constantly abused boyfriend, whose bitch-addiction is cured by this alternative lover. Together they lead the revolt of the not-even-nerds.

German mockumentary about the history of the techno band of the same name. Fraktus were once considered the pioneers of techno. Now, after 25 years, they are planning their big comeback. The band is supported by their manager Roger Dettner, who used a trick to get the band back together.

When YELLO was awarded the Kunstpreis der Stadt Zürich back in 1997, Claude Nobs, the legendary founder of the Montreux Jazz Festival, eulogised about the band, saying: "I worked as a cook and know about food. YELLO uses only fresh ingredients". In response, YELLO made a promise on stage that if they ever performed live in Switzerland, their first time would be at Nobs's festival in Montreux. Twenty years later, on July 12, 2017, YELLO kept their promise and performed at Montreux. Claude’s successor, Mathieu Jaton, announced the band simply thus: "Ils sont là. Ce soir. A Montreux. Pour vous!"

A film about the filming mechanism of the camera. Because of a rotary shutter that is not synchronised with the film advance, the film strip was exposed at different moments while it was being transported, rather than while standing still, resulting in blurred pictures. In this way, Dieter Meier films a self-portrait in the surroundings of a workshop, and also plays with blacked-out interludes, double exposures and lighting variations

The film should not be shown at the beginning or end, but in the middle of a program. The film should be shown in the same way as any other film. Immediately after the previous film, the house lights should be on. The festival curator stands in front of the audience and says the following sentence in German, without further comment, in fact: "Due to time constraints, the discussion must be limited to 8 minutes." After 8 minutes, the house lights go out, and the program continues without any comment.
