The 20th century was a period of two great totalitarian systems, whose murderous actions cost lives millions of victims. Just as Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany are still the embodiment of evil to this day, the cruelty of the Stalinist period escape of the general awareness. Only the Ukrainian Holodomor – the Great Famine of the 1930s. cost the lives of four to five million people. A young, idealistic but also full of doubts Welsh journalist Gareth Jones sets off for the USSR to see for himself the course and results of the great processes of economic and social change in the Soviet Union. He is entering into next circles of hell, and his publications are unheard of neither in the UK nor in the world. Based on the findings of Jones’ journalistic investigation, the allegorical “Animal Farm” by Georg Orwell was written.

Paris is not only the Eiffel Tower or the Champs-Élysées. It is also a concrete suburb that is a powder keg. One seemingly trivial event can be the spark which ignites the fire of the revolution. A provincial policeman moves to the capital to join the Montfermeil Anti-Crime Brigade. He discovers spheres of influence, full of constant tension, divided among gangs. Vibrating, tight shots follow the clashes between groups. Director Ladj Lye’s full-length debut, which has a para documental aesthetic, was this year’s French candidate for an Oscar in the Best International Feature Film category.
