«Ne može da traje večno»
Nenad Vukosavljevic, Serbia/BiH 47 min

Relationship between Serbs and Bosniaks, ten years after the war, is the subject of the film. The war, which is still present at hearts and minds of many. How to overcome the pain, hatred, fear, the feeling of mistrust and misunderstanding? Can there be reconciliation after all and who is responsible for the violent past and the situation nowadays? Twenty-three persons give their responds and ask their own questions. Among them there are refugees, those who lost close family members, those who were children at wartime, former combatants, believers, altogether people who’s opinion is rarely heard and asked for. Although they never met, they run a dialogue offering a chance to reach better understanding of views from the other side, a dialogue which surely contains parts that may hurt someone.

Brastvo in Enotnost/Brotherhood and Unity
Mojca Pungercar, Slovenia 38 min

The project Brotherhood and Unity is the story about two highways and people who constructed them. The project includes photography and documentary film. The photo and video material for the project was recordedin April and May 2006 on the building site of the Hrastje – Lešnica highway section at Novo mesto in Slovenia. The highway section was opened on June 23nd. In 1958 were the Yugoslavian shock brigades building the Dolenjska highway, the part of the road called the Road of Brotherhood and Unity, in the same place. With the construction of the new one most of the old highway was demolished and rebuilt a new. The documentary gives an insight into the lives of men working on construction sites and living in single's home. Most of them heve only a temporary job in Slovenia. Times of shock brigades with the higher goal to bring people together are over, and today all that shock workers have in common is the struggle to survive. Slovenia, once a part of the common fatherland is now a foreign country for them.

www.dribblingpictures.com

An intimate look at Gypsy refugees in Belgrade suburb who make a living by transfoming Citroen's classic 2cv and Dyana cars into Mad ... all » Max-like recycling vehicles, with which they collect cardoard, bottles and scrap metal. These modern horses are much more efficient than the cart-pushing competition, but more important - they also mean freedom, hope and style for their crafty owners. Even the car batteries are used as power generators in order to get some light, watch tv and recharge mobiles! Almost an alchemist's dream come true! But the police doesn't allways find these strange vehicles funny...

Cement
Tamara Milošević, Germany 55 min
In a small town in Serbia, fate is a cement factory. Before the end of socialism in Yugoslavia, just about everyone in Beocin worked at the local cement plant. The word unemployment was an unknown; people lived comfortably, with no ethnic or religious barriers between them. Times have changed. The factory was privatized and bought up by a French company which cut many jobs. The former workers try to sustain themselves by all possible means. And so taxi drivers spout lacking costumers to take anywhere. The only light in the darkness of creeping poverty is the Cement Box Club. Here we meet Darko, a 14- year-old boxing talent. Thanks to his brutal daily training he is Serbia-Montenegro's youth boxing champion. Darko has made his mind to become somebody, a more than ambitious goal in Beocin. Miško is Darko's coach. To support his family, he works as a seasonal worker at the cement factory. His greatest wish is that his sons Roki and Ervin may follow his footsteps and become boxing stars. Cement is the authentic portrait of a community that, though plunged into insecurity, never looses its sense of humour.

Message from Behind a Wall
Wilfried Agricola de Cologne, Germany 10 min

The segregation wall in Palestine is a fact. In November 2004, an artistic action against the wall ended, taking place at six different places in Palestine where walls were under construction, initiated by Palestine artists by inviting artists from different countries to paint an artistic message on the concrete. When Agricola de Cologne was in Bethlehem in February 2005, he visited several places where the Israeli were erecting the wall. The part of the wall he was filming, is situated in opposite of the AIDA refugee camp (UN), and was at that time a temporary playground for children. And these children made their own contribution to the huge wall paintings.
