AMID VALLEYS AND MOUNTAINS- screening at Filmpalette in Cologne on November 13th 14

Our Brazilian co-production AMID VALLEYS AND MOUNTAINS // ENTRE VALES celebrates its cinematic premiere in the 7th edition of CINEMA LATIONO COLOGNE, as part of the Film Festival Cologne.

The film shows two contrary life stories of men. While the management consultant Vincente is confronted with the destruction of his life, that literally ends up in the garbage, the homeless person Antonio goes the opposite way.

AMID VALLEYS AND MOUNTAINS is an amenable and emotional story, a metaphor about damage and rehabilitation, disposal and recycling…

BECAUSE I WAS A PAINTER screening on October 10th 2014

Our German-French co-production is a poetic documentary about the necessity of art. In dealing with art works made by inmates of the concentration camps, which were painted secretly and under great danger. Director Christophe Cognet manages to create an intense sight about life and death in the camps.

The documentary allows the artists, to show some of these works and have a chance to show why art can be just as vital as eating or drinking

WHO IS THOMAS MUELLER? DVD Release!

Thomas Müller is the most common name in Germany. That means Thomas Müller must be also the most common German man. Right?

The director Christian Heynen goes on tour across Germany in order to find the average "Thomas Müller" of Germany. He visits all the Thomas Müllers, who seem to form the average. But contrary to the statistics, the Thomas Müllers of Germany seem not to fit into the scheme. The documentary portrays the real individuals, who just happen to have the same name.

Have fun watching the documentary and following the journey looking for the “typical German”.

Release date: March 20th 2014

DVD-Release: September 26th 2014
