- Try to Remember is no nostalgic song from the sixties, but a short film about an athlete's irresistible fascination for his own past: his youth and his childhood. It is a journey into the sphere of memory exploring the emotional and sexual drives that thrived between him and his friends, drives which also motivated him toward sport. In his early thirties he discovers that his attraction and craving for sport was not only a way to sublimate his hidden desires, but it also confirmed his masculinity. By not acting out his true desires and by retaining a facade, he fosters the masculine myths: strength and endurance. It is a film experience which fills you with desperation for the irretrievable past - for all those things one meant to do, but never dared to do, and therefore never lived through. The film is a silent and sensitive visual suite, accompanied by the music of the Finnish jazz-rock musician Pekka Pohjola, whose melancholic rock-symphony "Try to Remember" forms the basis of the film.
- Henrik, a Danish war veteran, returns to Denmark with post-traumatic stress syndrome after his second deployment in Afghanistan. After various failed treatment attempts he moves deep into the Amazon jungle trying to cure himself with plant medicine, including the world's most halogenic drink, Ayahuasca.

- Hells Angels DK is an offbeat folk movement. With their own values and laws and a lifestyle that means much more to them than society's values and laws. For that reason the members are often locked-up in prison. Ib Markwarth's film tells about the Hells Angels DK in their own terms. They get the opportunity to talk about themselves and their projects. But the film is not a commercial for biker gangs. It presents the strange mix of civic conventions, gang warfare, old-fashioned heroism and honor, and the lofty worship of the motorcycle on which their lifestyle is based.
- What is a good photograph? Through four intense meetings with colleagues from different generations and traditions, Steen Møller Rasmussen seeks answers to the question. Based on common observations in the present, an attempt is made to define both the individual practice and the essence of photography itself. Keld Helmer-Petersen (b. 1920) talks about the subject's mysterious power of fascination and about the good photograph as the result of purposeful work. Per Bak Jensen (b. 1949) talks about how a photograph is always in a certain sense an image of the photographer. Krass Clement (b. 1946) reflects on photography's connection with reality. And Kirsten Klein (b. 1945) shows around Mors while she talks about the many resources that photography can draw from nature. Four meetings, four locations, four seasons, four approaches to good photography.

- A large-scale multimedia project, the main element of which is an eight-hour long silent movie. The film is based on Finnegans Wake by James Joyce (London 1939), a limit-transgressing, perhaps even limit-dissolving book that not only transgresses the limits of what literature is and is capable of, but inscribes transgressions on almost all conceivable levels. It is at the same time dream book, history book and necrology. It is almost impossible to determine whether we are dealing with a long poem, a prose narrative or a piece of drama.
- A 10-year-old girl discovers that the house breaks, piece by piece, the more parents quarrel. She can't make them stop and disappears in the night. A mysterious night bus full of children picks her up. The next day everything is normal. Was it all just a dream?

- An art film by Per Arnoldi about a wide range of things with redundant, non-functional ornamentation and banal beauty: Cakes, candies, lollipops, mechanical toys, slot machines, paper hats, masks, noses, fireworks, streamers, artificial flowers, pranks, flags and much more more. It is terrific that such ornate things are produced, on top of that by machine, and add appetizing and purchase-promoting properties to them. And in terms of beauty, this very banality can be accepted as fully as anything else.
- On Saturday, June 10, 1944, eight-year-old Genevieve Desourteaux wakes up to go to school. What she doesn't know is that just ten kilometers away, the SS is planning a direct strike against her birthplace, the town of Oradour sur Glane, in the middle of France - a total annihilation of the city and its population. Six hundred and forty-two people were brutally murdered. The story of the massacre is recounted in the film with matter-of-fact images from the place where the bodies were found, as it appears today with deserted ruins overgrown with grass.

- This puppet film recreates some of Danish humorist Storm P.'s popular cartoons - the so-called "inventions". A "Storm P. Invention" is how Danes would describe a highly complicated technical design. The design of these apparatuses reflects an original satirical view on a society obsessed by efficiency and technocratization. The fun is derived from the lack of proportion between the diminutive scale of the problem and incomprehensible complexity of Storm P.'s solution.

- "When I was very young, I wrote in my diary, and it is still a clue for me today. I dreamed that life was a dream. When I woke up, I saw that life was no dream. And then I couldn't fall asleep again." This is how the journalist and author Günter Wallraff talks about his driving force at the beginning of the film. Today he is a sought-after speaker worldwide, but also hated by large parts of German business life, the bourgeois press and the political right wing for his false identities and embarrassing revelations of working methods at the Springer press's Bild Zeitung and for his revelations of the treatment of Turks in Germany. For two years, Wallraff lived as Ali the Turk. Today he lives in Cologne, and in his study, Wallraff talks about the conditions of the gypsies, about historical responsibility and spiritual poverty, about the social pecking order and the ever-present danger of fascism.
