Projection place: Golden Apple Cinema 3
Score:
In many once-upon-a-time fairy-tales it's like this: an evil wizard kidnaps a princess and the hero has to complete three tasks to save her...The characters are typically fairy-tale-like, yet they have a lot in common with the people of today. An ambitious knight has planned out his son's entire life and constantly has the need to tell him what to do. He even takes him out into the world where he looks out for him. The son would rather read books or paint, but all his father knows are weapons and fighting. But circumstances force them to reconsider their attitudes: the knight learns that not everything can be solved with a sword, and his son realizes that evil must be fought. The love of a beautiful princess and half of a kingdom is then his legitimate reward.

Directed by: Alice Schmid

Score:
Fifty children of mountain farmers, six miles of walking to school, a childhood in the heart of Switzerland. We accompany the children early in the morning, plodding through deep snow to the village school, back to the farms in the afternoon, where every child has its chores. At an early age the youngest generation is initiated to the livelihood of mountain farming. The story takes us from farm to farm and introduces us to an isolated, but also sheltered life. Through the eyes of the children we closely experience what it means should a wolf turn up or a hawk get the chickens, and how the children face the inclement whims of the weather.

Horses have been part of daily life for generations in the deprived Dublin suburb of Ballymun – and for 17-year-old Lorna and her family too. Her unemployed father finds structure and purpose in daily life by caring for his horses, while her sick mother wistfully remembers the days when she used to turn heads as she galloped through the town. These days it's Lorna who likes to spend all her free time in the stable or riding Bigfoot, her horse. She's long since set her heart on becoming a farrier when she leaves school – if only it weren't for her constant back pain. A poetic film about longing, happiness, dreams and the transient nature of life.

Score:
Spring has come to a Cypriot village, bringing with it an invitation for Socrates to indulge in his favourite pastimes: setting off homemade fireworks, tormenting local pensioners, hurtling through the village on a moped and defying his mother. As Easter looms, Socrates masterminds a plan to make the biggest firecracker of the year and set it off at midnight on Holy Saturday. The device explodes collapsing part of the church and burying an old man beneath the rubble. The spotlight shines briefly on Socrates before illuminating a more serious crime. A boy has been attacked and the village becomes a hotbed of gossip and finger-pointing. When a friend is arrested for the crime, Socrates, convinced of his innocence, is determined to find the real perpetrator. Behind the scenes in this seemingly idyllic backwater, an abused wife plots revenge on her husband, a scheming miser falls in love and a dangerous predator stalks the innocent. Spring brings a rude awakening to all the villagers and Socrates in particular.

Best friends Conor and Jock dress the same, act the same, and go pretty much everywhere together. When news breaks that 61 bales of cocaine worth seven million euros each has gone missing off Ireland's west coast, the boys steal a pair of bicycles — Jock is already an inveterate bike thief who has attracted the keen attention of a local police sergeant — and pedal across the Irish countryside hoping to find the contraband treasure and sell it to finance their escape from difficult circumstances. With the Garda in close pursuit, mayhem and misadventure inevitably ensue. Delightful and absurdly funny, the film is a portrait of the friendship between two sensitive young desperados with noble intentions.
