At 109, Alice Herz Sommer, the oldest survivor of Hitler\u2019s Holocaust, still practiced the piano for two and a half hours each day. She remained fiercely independent until her death on 24th February 2014. She believed her life was long because of \u201cgood music\u201d rather than \u201cgood genes\u201d. A relentlessly positive and optimistic outlook plus her deeply-held belief in the essential goodness of her fellow man kept Alice Herz Sommer alive for over a century. <\/p>\n Polish title: Pani spod sz\u00f3stki <\/p>\n Matias<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Only 165 kilometres away from the largest city in the southern hemisphere, in a small shack, lives Matias.

It is a routine work, still done very skillfully and with attention to smallest detail. Prepared, dissected and filled up \u2013 laborious work to contradict death, yet a technical profession. Bent forward in green coats over the most genial system ever \u2013 the human anatomy. <\/p>\n Original title: Das genialste System \u00fcberhaupt <\/p>\n New Family, A<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Chantrea is banned from home by her sons when they discover she has HIV. She accepts her exile, even though supporting her family was the reason she was working as a prostitute. She starts collecting litter to survive, and meets Shrey \u2013 an abandoned and lonely girl working as a prostitute to support her little children \u2013 who sees Chantrea as a kindred spirit and asks her to become her mother. Two lonely Cambodian women get together and create a new family, supporting and loving each other. <\/p>\n Directed by: Simone Manetti <\/p>\n Once Upon a Tree<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Sitting in her favourite oak tree, 11-year-old Filine encounters little wonders in the natural world around her.

Impressionistic pictures from the life of an older woman and her son show them drying huge amounts of walnuts in their devastated house, which is their only occupation. Everything here seems to occur as if in a daydream and the oneiric atmosphere and the woman\u2019s story about the dead that haunt her under the walnut tree at the spring come as no surprise. <\/p>\n Polish title: Rodnik <\/p>\n Starting Point<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Aneta \u2018rebelled to the max\u2019 at the age of nineteen and wound up in prison for murder. Nine years later, her daily routine takes her from behind the walls of the prison to a care home for the elderly. One of the residents, Helena, has been ill ever since infancy.

This 15-storey building can accommodate up to three thousand people. The lift stops every third floor, and therefore in order to reach their apartments, residents must walk through a real labyrinth of corridors and stairs. The main characters of the documentary are people living in the Superunit, where they experience important moments of their lives. There, their emotions pulsate, their hopes are born and their desires are \u2013 or, perhaps, are not – fulfilled. Seven hundred and sixty two entrance doors to seven hundred and sixty two stories. The authors introduce only some of them. <\/p>\n Polish title: Superjednostka <\/p>\n Werka<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n What are the limits of personal sacrifice? How much responsibility can one person take on? The film tells the story of a match factory worker who takes up a remarkable challenge.
