CROSSROADS
For anyone who has ever confronted a difficult decision in which none of the solutions seems like the right one, Crossroads will have a special resonance. Made at a time when the director was facing great uncertainty in his life, the film is an extended, often humorous, look at a man pulled in too many directions, in a world in which everything keeps changing and all roads seem to lead back to the beginning.
Germany 1991 / 9:00 / Director: Raimund Krumme
BLIGHT
The film documents events on a London street over the course of a year when a highway was built. Fragments of interviews are mixed with natural sounds and music into a rhythmical and emotional collage that received the award for best experimental film at Uppsala in 1997.
United Kingdom 1996 / 14:00 / Director: John Smith

A YEAR ALONG THE ABANDONED ROAD
Most of the year, the village of Børfjord lies empty with virgin snow between cold houses. People only show up during a short and hectic summer season. But the cycles of nature go on. Through technology we go on a magic flight through time and space.
Norway 1991 / 12:00 / Director: Morten Skallerund

ALONE. LIFE WASTES ANDY HARDY
Judy Garland yearns for Mickey Rooney in this ingenious passion play. Images and sounds from three mild teenage dramas are put together, forming something considerably more corruptible.
Austria 1998 / 15:00 / Director: Martin Arnold
MAJORETTES IN SPACE
Dimitri, a cosmonaut on Soyouz 27, thought about cheerleaders while in space. He likes them. Catherine and Laurent like making love. Vincent likes boys, and John Paul II likes airport asphalt. This is a proud film which will lighten your heart.
France 1996 / 6:00 / Director: David Fourier
MORE
Gray concrete and monotonous everyday life. A world where happiness is an exception. We meet an old inventor who struggles to find meaning in his gloomy and colourless life. The technically very impressive More was originally created on 70 mm film. It was nominated for an Academy Award in 1998.
