Matter Out of Place
A film about our garbage that is found in the most remote areas and about the people who try to dispose of it. Not only in the sea and on coasts, also in the Arctic, the jungle, high up on the mountains and deep inside the desert, garbage is found almost everywhere in various forms and dimensions, sometimes as whole car wrecks, old TV sets or simply construction rubble, but mostly in the form of disintegrated plastic particles a few millimetres in size. Humanity has handed out its visiting cards thoroughly.

Zero Waste
As the world continues to come face to face with the consequences of decades of environmental degradation, Danny Kim’s documentary Zero Waste explores the ways that five individuals in South Korea have taken it upon themselves to create solutions to the country’s plastic waste problems, which has been exasperated by the global pandemic, and whether their efforts can be enough to make up for decades of neglect. Both sobering and uplifting, Zero Waste paints a portrait of both the magnitude of the problem, and the perseverance of those people willing to address them.

The monks and nuns of a tranquil monastery are in turmoil: they have just rescued a half-naked meat saleswoman from the clutches of a nasty pimp, and already a new danger threatens from the highest authority. An exorcist and inquisitor of the Vatican appears in the monastery to make ominous investigations. It is about the biggest secret of the Vatican: The Pope has a daughter! The unwanted child was once the result of a brief affair with a nun. The Inquisitor has been ordered to kill the Pope's daughter, who is now an adult, in order to eliminate the only evidence of the scandal. But while assassinating the unsuspecting young woman, the killer falls in love with his victim. This surprising turn of events is the starting point for an exchange of blows that is as hair-raising as it is bloody.
