One Day In Europe (2004; 100 mins)
Directed by Hannes Stoehr. 4 cities, 8 languages and a wave of robberies on the day of the soccer’s champion league final..Welcome to Europe! A light-hearted story about four colorful characters and the amusing misunderstanding that cross-cultural communications often provides. In one day and taking place in different cities, language barriers are compounded by another chaos – the champion league finals. The film has truly pan-European origin that is charming and down to earth.

Love, Peace & Beatbox (2008; 70mins)
Directed by Volker Meyer-Dabisch, this documentary film is about young DJs who have started to make their own music just by using their mouths, vocal chords, lips and all other kind of noises which can be produced by humans without instruments. After rapping, DJ-ing, break-dancing and graffiti, beat-boxing or mouth-drumming is widely regarded as the fifth element of hip hop. As an art form that originated on the street and still feels most at home here, hip hop thrives on a mixture of improvisation and virtuosity- and this is exactly what beat-boxing is all about.

7 Dwarves – the Wood Is Not Enough (2004; 95 mins)
Directed by Sven Unterwaldt, 7 Dwarves is the Brothers Grimm as you have never seen before. Beyond the Seven mountains, in the depths of the enchanted forest live the most famous bachelors in history: the 7 dwarves. They have lived in the remote forest for ages, by choice – a female-free zone so to speak. They know only too well how heartless women can be and prefer harmony to heartbreak. But when Snow White enters their lives – on the run from the evil Queen – they lose it totally. They simply can’t resist her innocent charm.
