- On October 7, 2006, Vladimir Putin's 54th birthday, the journalist Anna Politkovskaja was shot in the lift of her Moscow home. Anna's death was a personal tragedy: she had just learnt that she was to become a grandmother. But the murder is a political act, for Politkovskaja was the President's fiercest critic. Why was she shot in cold blood, this elegant woman who was always on the side of the weak and those who had no rights? Was it because of the stance she took against the war in Chechnya - a war that was virtually ignored in the world at large and yet became a turning point in Anna's life?

- Milano and Italian fashion seen through the eyes of MAD Italian fashion. Practically synonymous with creativity and style. Armani, Ferrè, Fiorucci, Missoni, Gucci, Versace, Prada and the rest all come from the same place and flourished in a few decades. Before that Milano was just a town of textile industries and needle-workers. All starts at the end of the sixties. Italian tailors take advantage of the 1968 youth protest movements, and give form and shape to women's dreams. Fashion goes from Haute Couture to Prêt-à-Porter, hand in hand with the women's fight for equal rights. The revolution in fashion rapidly evolves following social trends which see women getting into power roles (and dresses) and young and talented tailors becoming famous. Then branding explodes and Milano becomes the world's fashion centre. Maddalena Sisto, MAD for the readers of Vogue, Elle Germany, The New Yorker and the Corriere della Sera, witnessed it all and put it into extraordinary drawings and sketches. She recorded every trend suggested by the Milan stylists and chronicled how fashion developed and influenced the life of Italian women. To such an extent that her 'signorine' represent the desires, fears and imagination of women today. She left us over 12.000 drawings together with her personal diaries and the video's of her work in the fashion field. Everything neatly and persistently collected by her husband. A WORLD OF FASHION tells the story of Italian fashion through MAD's drawings, specifically animated for the film, and through the fashion designers that loved her work and the way she was able to predict where their own work was heading to. Welcome to the liberated, sensual and glamorous world of MAD!
- 7 DAYS IN SEPTEMBER is the adventurous story of two exceptional mountaineers, Benedikt Böhm and his partner Sebastian Haag, trying to set a world record speed ascent to the 8,163-m peak of Manaslu in the Himalayas. It's a story of friendship and rivalry, and of their desire to risk everything, including family responsibilities. 7 DAYS IN SEPTEMBER also tells the tale of those who set out with the same vision, like mountaineer legends Silvio Mondinelli or Rémy Lécluse, but whose lives changed forever in a fatal avalanche catastrophe. The film is a personal exploration of one of the most tragic dramas in Himalayan mountaineering history. What drives people to risk their lives like this again and again? What does it mean for the bereaved to love a person whose passion seems to be contrary to all rationality?
