- DirectorMina LaamoStarsHenriikka IhalainenEine-Kirsikka KurkiMehdi LakhalSorrow Tamers is an art-house-documentary film about individuals, who have decided to face the sorrow as it exists to them. Sorrow always shakes up the life we used to know, and everything is changed. Changed how? - You do not know, unless you fearlessly step into the world of grief and, without fearing the change, step out in due course as a new, transformed version of yourself. Life is learning how to let go before death, the ultimate momentum of letting go. Shot on film, the short episodes of individual stories form a larger story of the finite nature of life and the intrinsic need of human beings to reach out to each other, even when it is not possible.
- DirectorDavid FranceStarsTedros Adhanom GhebreyesusDan BarouchAlbert BourlaChronicles the global race to research, develop, manufacture and distribute COVID-19 vaccines in the most enormous coordinated public health effort ever undertaken.
- DirectorLaila PakalninaA city is a frenetic place and a reason is needed for asking the people to stop for a moment and stand in front of the movie camera. The reason is some music by Mozart (a few instants of The Magic Flute). A man, a girl, a child, a couple of women, and a few young people put the earphones on and listen.

- DirectorNikola IlicCorina Schwingruber IlicDida has learning difficulties and still depends on her mother. When the latter is no longer able to look after her, it falls to Dida's son, Nikola, to take over. How can he help his mother live her life without losing his independence? And how can he do so while living in different cities, even different countries? Nikola and his wife Corina reorganise their life to deal with these new responsibilities. While Dida learns about her son's day-to-day life in Zurich, Nikola rediscovers the small worker's apartment in Belgrade that he had left to move in with Corina in Switzerland. He expresses his doubts and feelings frankly, in a voiceover reminiscent of a personal journal. The directors Nikola Ilic and Corina Schwingruber Ilic confide their story through a moving family film that paints an intimate portrait of Dida and her world of wonder. With an ample dose of humour, this feature-length film recounts the milestones in the life of a son and a mother who rediscover each other in adulthood, between two cities and two cultures.
- DirectorVirpi SuutariStarsJani LaineSatu LaineAmanda LaineEntrepreneurs get a bad name nowadays. Some of them deserve it. But there are exceptions to the rule. By portraying two entirely different Finish family enterprises with warmth and sympathy, the film gives an insight into new ways of doing business (with or without meat!), but also juxtaposes two different ways of living and surviving in the broader context of the post-modern neo-liberal capitalist society.
- DirectorLaila PakalninaA silent dissertation on the daily life of a truck driver who delivers clean linens to a children's hospital. He unloads the sheets and divides them up among the wards, where small, gripping dramas of life and death are unfolding. And every day it's the same story.
