- DirectorWalt LoweStarsB.B. KingBlues AlleyNathan BeauregardThe history of the blues that sprang from the Mississippi Delta. Rare photos and performances by Big Joe Williams, Houston Stackhouse and Furry Lewis help to weave the story of this music born in the Deep South. Narrated by B.B. King. Traditional blues songs were handed down by word-of-mouth from one performer to another, and artists would often add new lyrics to an old song and make it their own. The guitar and the harmonica were the primary tools of the Delta bluesman, mostly because of the ease of carrying them around. Many of the musicians of the early blues era (1910-1950) were sharecroppers or worked on one of the many plantations that dotted the Mississippi Delta. The Delta blues are typically identified by the music's highly rhythmic structure, sometimes featuring clashing rhythms, accompanied by strong vocals. Although the lyrics of Delta blues are often simple, with repeated lines a trademark of the style, they also tend to be highly personal and reflective of the hard life of the African-American farmer in the South.

- DirectorAnders RibbsjöStarsRick HallMickey BuckinsRonnie EadesA Swedish documentary from 1970 that was filmed at the legendary Fame recording studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

This is where Muscle Shoals would have its first international success. With Arthur Alexander's "You Better Move On". Hall took that money, along with a borrowed $10,000, built and moved the studio to its current location at 603 East Avalon Avenue, Muscle Shoals. Beginning with the legendary session that produced Jimmy Hughes' "Steal Away", FAME has been producing chart-topping hits ever since.
- DirectorAnnelise HovmandStarsBritta LillesøeThomas Lund MadsenOle ØrstedThe thermal mannequin is a robot and experimental model of the human body in terms of temperature sensitivity.

In the film, the mannequin is given a human voice, and it talks about its experiences and feelings when it measures temperatures.
- DirectorFrederic Wake-WalkerStarsMelanie DienerLioba BraunEwa WolakAn animated triptych inspired by the Surrealism of the 1920s - two provocative short operas - Paul Hindemith's 'Sancta Susanna' and Bohuslav Martinu's 'Slzy Noze' (Tears of the Knife) - as well as Ondrej Adamek's contemporary orchestral work 'Sinuous Voices' were congenially brought to expressionist life: through associative collages and animations in combination with recordings shot both in a green screen studio and in RBB's Small Broadcasting Hall. Hindemith's 'Sancta Susanna' expressionistically stages the borders between erotic and religious ecstasy. The protagonist's satanic, sinful desire focuses on none other than the Saviour on the cross. In the surreal-dadaistic comedy 'Slzy Noze' by Martinu, instead, a young girl falls in love with a hanged man. In her attempts to win him over, she always ends up in the arms of Satan.

- StarsThe DefectsJust DestinyDogmatic ElementThe Anarchy Centre was situated on Long Lane, just off Lower North Street in Belfast city centre. The Belfast Anarchist Collective ran the centre. The rules of the centre were that there were no rules. It opened it's doors on 7th November 1981 and although it only had a very short lifespan (six months), it was still a very important venue for the early eighties punk scene in Belfast. It was solely responsible for giving the punks somewhere to go on a Saturday afternoon. Because it opened between 2pm and 6pm it allowed punks from other parts of the province to travel to Belfast, see a band and be able to get a bus home.
- DirectorNoga ErezStarsNoga ErezTom ElbazElad GellertNoga Erez performs "Views" from the album "Kids (against the machine)" (2021) published City Slang. Noga Erez is an Israeli singer, songwriter and producer. Her first single, "Toy", received a rave review from The New York Times: "the Israeli singer and electronic-music producer Noga Erez gives 'Toy' a beat that jitters and heaves, ratchets across the stereo field, speeds up fitfully and stops for a moment of dead silence halfway through the song; the melodies are brief modal phrases hinting at Middle Eastern origins... It's a sparse, thorny, unstable track - and haunting, too.

In cabaret basements - such as the "Catacomb" and the "Cabaret of Comedians" in Berlin or the "Pfeffermühle" in Munich - word acrobats tried to prevent the "Third Reich", then fight it and finally at least, with parodies, satires and whispered jokes to survive.
- DirectorLouis GentileStarsAnjara BartzLouis GentileOtto KatzameierIn 2007 enfant terrible Christoph Schlingensief was engage by the Bonn Opera to stage the world premiere of Moritz Eggert's opera "Freax" based on the film "Freaks" (1932) by Tod Browning from the story "Spurs"(1923) by Tod Robbins. Christoph Schlingensief did not like the libretto, which he read only the day before the first rehearsal, where Hannah Dübgen had changed the plot into a love story, which was not part of the original film. Christoph Schlingensief rejected the opera. The media storm was total. Despite this we the cast rehearsed with Christoph further, as he agreed to at least try to piece something together. After a few chaotic weeks, he decided to stop trying and wanted instead to make a film, which would be showed during the intermission of the opera, which would now be performed in a concert version with costumes.
