An 11-year-old girl has been raped and murdered in a small community in the Pas de Calais and the man assigned to hunt for the killer is anything but your average hard bitten detective; Pharaon De Winter is a painfully shy and reclusive individual, constantly horrified by humanity's inhumanity, and emotionally ill-equipped to deal with such a vicious case. L'Humanite is an incredibly striking film, eerily haunting and with a dark lingering power.

San Lorenzo's Night is the night when dreams come true in Italian folklore. It is also a night when an older woman recalls 1944, when she was six-years-old and the stars were shell bursts and a group of peasants fled the Germans and Fascists through the Tuscan countryside to American lines. 'La Notte Di San Lorenzo' is a stunning film, a mesmerising portrayal of love, loss, betrayal and hope.

In a monastery perched in the mountains of Algeria eight French Christian monks live in harmony with their Muslim brothers, but, when a crew of foreign workers is massacred by an Islamic fundamentalist group, fear sweeps the region. The army offers them protection, but the monks refuse and a battle of wills ensues regarding whether to stay or flee.

19th century Germany: Kaspar arrives like a time traveller, found standing in a sleepy town square, his origins shrouded in mystery. After learning to talk, he tells of being kept in a cellar and never having seen a human being. The learned confront this enigma with the power of their logic, dissection and annotation, but Kaspar shows up the limitations of such rationalism. Not the same dizzy folly as Aguirre, but Herzog's similarly long perspective conjures as powerful a picture of man's aimles

This is a beautifully drawn comic drama about a man 'M' who loses his memory after a near fatal beating from some Helsinki thugs. 'M' wakes up unable to remember where he lives or where he came from. A surreal series of events unfold as he begins to rebuild his life (and brings rock and roll to a small community of salvation army river dwellers). The stark visual style, comedic dead pan dialogue and the film makers delicate compassion for the dispossessed, make this a truly original and heart wa
