Some things can be seen more clearly at night.. . A film poem about a continent at night, a culture on which the sun’s going down, though it’s hyper alert at the same time, an “Abendland” that, often somewhat self-obsessively, sees itself as the crown of human civilization, while its service economy is undergoing rapid growth in a thoroughly pragmatic way. Nikolaus Geyrhalter takes a look at a paradise with a quite diverse understanding of protection. Night work juxtaposed with oblivious evening digression, birth and death, questions that await answers in the semi-darkness, a Babel of languages, the routine of the daily news, and political negotiation: All this has been captured in images with a wealth of details that make us look at things in a new way. The longer you consider a word, the more distant is its return gaze: ABENDLAND.

A look at the world of in vitro fertilization and the rapidly-advancing science of childbearing.

Robolove is a documentary that explores the interaction between humans and humanoid robots. The filmmaker visits various technology research centers in Japan, Korea, China, USA and Europe as researchers share the challenges of injecting human emotions into these robots.

In Loud and clear five women and one man talk about the effects of sexual abuse on their lives. Years and in some cases decades afterwards, they have managed to find words for what these incidents have done to them. All of them have managed to survive the most painful aspects of dealing with their experiences, often after years of therapy.

In seven astute chapters, this film documents the work of doctors and nurses in the palliative care unit at Vienna General Hospital or outpatient hospice care, accompanying patients on their final journey. Although we see family members and impending goodbyes in the dialogues, the film gradually delves deeper into the relationship between the dying and their healthcare professionals: repeatedly, the tension between professional care and emotional closeness is palpable.

Ten years have passed since the First Congo War, six since the beginning of the UN mission there. Rape is still being employed as a weapon. In White Substance everyone involved is given an opportunity to speak: the victims and the perpetrators, and also the individuals in-between.
