"I want to give a view of the world that can only emerge by not pursuing any particular theme, by refraining from passing judgment, proceeding without aim. Drifting with no direction except one's own curiosity and intuition." (Michael Glawogger) More than two years after the sudden death of Michael Glawogger in April 2014, film editor Monika Willi realizes a film out of the film footage produced during 4 months and 19 days of shooting in the Balkans, Italy, Northwest and West Africa. A journey into the world to observe, listen and experience, the eye attentive, courageous and raw. Serendipity is the concept - in shooting as well as in editing the film.

Spinning Plates is a documentary about three extraordinary restaurants and the incredible people who make them what they are. A cutting-edge restaurant named the seventh-best in the world whose chef must battle a life-threatening obstacle to pursue his passion.

Their unforgettable stories of family, legacy, passion and survival come together to reveal how meaningful food can be, and the power it has to connect us to one another.
農業化工大廠孟山都公司的化學產品會永久影響孩子們的基因嗎?低收入的菸草農民們被迫面對著節節升高的罹癌率,特別是對他們的下一代影響更為顯著-造成兒童們嚴重的肢體畸形以及精神殘疾。然後在貧困與毒藥之間,拉丁美洲的農民們別無選擇,為了要讓作物通過相關認證以出售給大型菸草公司,他們只能繼續使用有害化學物質,例如除草劑草甘膦(年年春)和拜耳公司的殺蟲劑。然而不論是專利或是監督的相關法條卻仍然偏向於保障孟山都以及此類化學公司的利益,使得這些有害作物透過世界上最大的菸草公司菲利普莫里斯國際公司進入全球消費者的手中,而這些本該用於協助農作的毒藥污染了農民的血液並改變了人類的基因,也創造出了基因被改造的兒童。
一部一小时长特别片,由杰曼科尔从美国中西部到南部的旅行经历中所产生的个人或政治共鸣的影像记录所组成,同时片中JK的说唱歌曲也成为了一场关于黑人种族在白人强权世界中坚韧与自尊的宏大对话。 An hourlong special that combines documentary footage of Jermaine Cole's travels to various cities through the Midwest and the South that have personal or political resonance for him with in situ music videos that locate Jermaine Cole's songs as part of a larger conversation about black resilience and dignity under the conditions of white supremacy.
柏林的德国国会大厦是德国联邦议会的会址,也因此成为德国民主政治的最重要阵地。它曾遭受蔑视,被付之一炬,历经征服,被围墙封锁,见证了许多历史重大时刻——从德皇威廉二世对在落成典礼上对帝国议会大厦的嘲讽到社会民主党人在楼内宣布君主制的瓦解,从国会纵火案到成为德国分裂的象征,从艺术家克里斯托包裹整栋建筑的经典装置到建筑师诺曼•福斯特打造新玻璃穹顶,影片记录了位于柏林的德国国会大厦作为“幸存艺术家”的身份变换、在经遍德国历史的高潮与低谷后最终成为德国统一和民主象征的过程。历史学家米夏埃尔•库伦、明星建筑师诺曼•福斯特勋爵、联邦议会主席沃尔夫冈•硕伯勒、前联邦议会议长丽塔•聚斯穆特和包裹艺术家克里斯托为本片接受了采访。(小易甫字幕组)
