Newsreel 242 - Sunny Railways
In Yugoslavia in 1947, 211,000 of the country's young people, joined by 5,735 from abroad, worked with great enthusiasm building the 242 kilometer railroad between Sarajevo and Samac. A newsreel from the period shows them toiling away with spades, pickaxes and shovels to complete the job in just seven months. Newsreel 242-Sunny Railways is both a tribute to these idealistic young people and an elegy for the loss of hope for a better world. "The visions of the future suffocated in the rivers of blood and mass graves," we hear in voice-over, referring to the bloody breakup of Yugoslavia and to a broader context. The railroad, laid over the rubble of the Second World War, damaged during the Bosnian War, and neglected in the new millennium now looks like the ruins of some ancient civilization. This documentary essay argues that the story of the railroad harbors enduring ideas for a world beyond capitalism, and that we must rediscover the values of times past.

Am Madadh-Allaidh
For 12,000 years wolves roamed Scotland. However, over three centuries ago, we exterminated them. This film reveals the rise and fall of the Scottish wolf and explores the question of whether they should be re-introduced. Wolves arrived as the last ice age ended, following the herds of deer and reindeer that crossed a now-lost land bridge from Europe. For thousands of years, wolves and humans shared the landscape as apex predators, with the wolf entering human art, myth and belief. However, farming put wolves and humans on a collision course, and, after centuries of persecution, wolves became extinct in Scotland. Since then, deer numbers have exploded, and many of Scotland’s woodlands have been stripped bare. Some argue for the wolf’s return. Could we, and should we, hear the howl of the wolf once more in the Highlands?

La France en Vrai: Chemsex - Accros au sexe sous drogues
Sexuality drugged to the point of addiction? What once seemed marginal is no longer so. The practice of chemsex is no longer confined to gay men. Chemsexers, former chemsexers, Parisian elected representatives, healthcare professionals and community activists all agree that it's time to tackle the issue head-on. Chemsex hides the consumption of stimulating and euphoric substances designed to facilitate, prolong or enhance sexual relations through their psychoactive effects (such as cathinones, including 3-MMC, but also GHB and GBL). Without taboos, thanks to the strength of courageous and intimate testimonials, this film aims to give a concrete understanding of what chemsex is: from the first time to regular practice, from the first effects to the impact on an entire life. It also highlights the methods and help available to deal with addiction and regain control of one's sexuality.
