In October 1961, the KGB went to the writer Vassili Grossman to seize the manuscript of his novel "Life and Destiny." Built on the model of Tolstoy's "War and Peace", this book traces the fate of a family during the war. From Moscow to the ruins of Stalingrad, from the Ukrainian ghettos to the gulag, it is a great Russian epic written at the height of men, populated by ordinary heroes and tyrants, historical figures and anonymous people. Grossman bears witness to the darkest hours of Stalinism. It exposes the cogs of the implacable totalitarian machine and denounces the perversion of the ideal of 1917.

Fighter pilot, inventor, spy - the life of Roald Dahl is often stranger than fiction. From crashing his plane over Africa to hobnobbing in Hollywood and his remarkable encounters with everyone from Walt Disney to President Roosevelt - this is the story of his greatest adventures and how his real-life escapades find expression in his most famous books, from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to Matilda. Through a vast collection of his letters, writings and archive, the story is told largely in his own words with contributions from his last wife Liccy, daughter Lucy and biographer Donald Sturrock. Long-term collaborator and illustrator Quentin Blake also creates exclusive new drawings for the film which are specially animated to bring Dahl's marvellous world to life.

ANTWERP CENTRAL takes the viewer on a journey through the physical and mental space of Antwerp's railway cathedral, from its construction to the present day. Drawing inspiration from the book "Austerlitz" by W.G. Sebald, screenwriter/director Peter Krüger approaches Antwerp Central Railway Station as a magical realistic location where present and past, history and daily life, fiction and reality are in constant flux. Running as a thread through the film are the dreams and reminiscences of a traveler, played by Johan Leysen, who arrives at Antwerp Central and through whose eyes we observe the station. He draws our attention not only to the striking architecture and historical context of the building, but also to its hidden and mysterious aspects. A peacock spreads its wings; time stands still; a lion roams the grand waiting hall; an old steam loc enters the station; a choir performs on the monumental staircase leading to the platforms - Reality turns to dream and vice versa. But what is reality? And what is dream? Is time not more than the transformation of space?
