When the mother they have never known dies, three half brothers aged 8, 15 and 17 respectively, who were all brought up in different ways, meet for the very first time. They spend the long summer holidays with Nonna, their grandmother, and start sharing secrets and rabbits, polenta and mean tricks, adventures and first time experiences, together. At last, their once solitary lives take a new direction.

“Not Worth A Bullet”

Dir. by Markus F. Adrian



The old tobacco store owner Walter and his beloved wife Maggie are victims of a brutal robbery, so it seems. With his back to the wall and the knowledge of only having caught a glimpse of the villain in a fuzzy mirror, Walter identifies his tormentor in a face off with five suspects. Lieutenant Carter however does not give any credence to his words on account of Walter's obvious afflictions of old age, nor does his partner Detective Todd. With the wisdom and patience of an aged man Walter faces the prejudice and sets a trap for the perpetrator.

Equine Destiny is a comprehensive documentary exposing all the inhumane issues facing our American horses. From Slaughter and human consumption to abuse, neglect, and abandonment; The destiny of our American Horses lies in our hands...

“Tiden Imellom”

(“The Time In Between”)

Dir. by Henrik Martin Dahisbakken




“Stormedge: Rise of The Darkness”

Dir. by Dieter Joppich




“How To Boil A Frog”

Dir. by Jon Cooksey

Earth's entire population has been nearly wiped out by a ruthless alien destroyer from a far away galaxy, millions of light years from our own. After the violent annihilation at the hands of his Army of Darkness, a mere handful of survivors are left on our dying and desolate planet.

One survivor, Dash, heir to a once royal lineage of Earth's elite aristocracy, finds himself stranded on his family's kingdom, now uninhabited and reduced to ashes. The spoiled son of a wiped-out empire tries to save mankind by attempting to travel back in time and prevent the destruction of Earth by the Dark Soldiers.

'How to Boil a Frog' is an eco-comedy that shows the consequences of overshoot: too many people using up too little planet. An everyman dad (Jon) gives us the scoop on the imminent end of the world as we know it, and five surprising ways we can save civilization while making our own lives better.

The Time In Between (Tiden imellom) tells the story of a forbidden relationship between two young girls, a relationship that is inevitably torn apart by the tension surrounding them. It's a film about love and friendship abeam of cultural differences and the tragic consequences of prejudice and alienation.

“Seeing”

Dir. by Mari Kawade

The old tobacco store owner Walter and his beloved wife Maggie are victims of a brutal robbery, so it seems. With his back to the wall and the knowledge of only having caught a glimpse of the villain in a fuzzy mirror, Walter identifies his tormentor in a face off with five suspects. Lieutenant Carter however does not give any credence to his words on account of Walter's obvious afflictions of old age, nor does his partner Detective Todd. With the wisdom and patience of an aged man Walter faces the prejudice and sets a trap for the perpetrator.

A budding actress who is diagnosed to become blind passes through fear and finds hope by using her five senses.


The Au Pairs centers on a group of six Au Pairs from around the world that have all been brought to the USA through the Au Pairs Cares Agency. All six Au Pairs and their mentor are played by actress/comedienne Ellyn Daniels.
