Kick-Off poster

In the remote village of Kök-Tash, Kyrgyzstan, where conservative norms confine women to domestic duties, an activist organizes a women's football tournament to challenge these patriarchal traditions. Stunningly filmed, visually captivating, and quite evocative, Kick-Off demonstrates how athletics has the power to break taboos, opposing the norms of traditionalism, while promoting gender quality in rigidly patriarchal societies, where women are left with no choice but to occupy the margins of solely inflexible, highly restrictive roles. Sports and play, being the most natural expression of human joy - unbound by limitations and uncontained, are the best response to the sullen "no's" imposed by any form of oppression.

Martin Meyer is an Imam called Husamuddin. Imam Meyer fights his own war against ISIS by teaching the Koran. He deals with religious training and his students are the inmates of the Wiesbaden prison, in the heart of Germany. Imam Meyer knows these inmates well, some of them are returning fighters, they went to Syria to join ISIS and then fled back to Germany. They all are Germans citizens, second or third generation's immigrants coming from Islamic countries: misfits, excluded, marginalized and fascinated by the words of the ISIS recruiters. Prisons always have been a fertile ground for the seeds of revenge, social redemption and hatred.

Iraqi Kurdistan. What happens to war zones after the lights go out? Where do their children go? The last war against Isis left 1.6 million people in need. Half of them are under the age of 18. Disordered elements of a post-traumatic stress syndrome demand to get away from the tragedies of war. It's a frenetic, explosive and totally unexpected euphoria, the struggle to finally find a normal life made of simple things. War is Over is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and its enduring hopes.

Four stories of ordinary flexibility: Dora is a television intern whose ideas are stolen, Franco is an aspiring writer who works as a financial agent for a living, Mario is a lawyer waiting to become a partner in a law firm, and Marta investigates on behalf of Ixtat. Watching over them all is San Precario, a boxer who died by mistake, delegated to archiving the prayers of the precarious.
