EUROPE!
Europe caught between passion and decay: In 9 short films, the program gathers entertaining and explosive statements on the topics of freedom of speech and freedom of the press, political conduct, religious conflicts, poverty and people seeking refuge. Outbursts of rage are by no means spared, police violence escalates into comedy, and the revolution simply requires participation.

Stille Stadt, lautes Land
Between the swooshing of the sea and the whooshing of the highways are entire worlds, and they call out to be explored! With Stille Stadt, Lautes Land (‘Quiet City, Loud Country’), interfilm presents a programme of contradictions – and of their coming together. Hunters call out to imaginary stags, a street child fleeing towards nature is unable to escape the city. And where is 'home' if your city apartment is merely a source of extra income? In this programme, the city and the country both stand in contrast and evolve together, roaring at one another and singing in harmony, somewhere between the smog and the country air.

Work and Ecstasy
Work as the ultimate adventure: From the perspective of a wildlife filmmaker on location in the back of beyond, a job-seeker in a retraining fantasy or an employee trapped in office imprisonment, work is likely to produce strange effects and consequences. Pointed, irreverent and profound, this program even examines utopias ? both with and without the aid of a lie detector.

Social Games

This program explores the spectrum of possibilities from hilarious to horrifying: social games are thrilling and relevant to us all.
