Making an indie film is murder under the best of circumstances, but first-time director Eddie Vassick's scenario is chaotic. Halfway through filming his main investor croaks. He has to tangle with the investor's widow who not only demands a plum role in the film when she's never acted a day in her life, but sells the film's rights to none other than Eddie's domineering older brother Warren. Warren is a B-movie mogul, king of commercial flicks, who has cast a shadow over Eddie his entire life. Eddie is forced to bend to Warren's will, and Warren immediately issues an impossible ultimatum, true to form. Eddie must re-shoot the entire film in costly 35mm format in four weeks time, or control of the entire project will revert to Warren. Meanwhile, Warren, who has always been secretly jealous of his little brother's inherent talents, has gotten his hands on a copy of Eddie's script and views this project as his one shot to catapult himself from the "B" leagues into the majors.

Set between the sublime tranquility of the Wadden Sea and the restless pace of Groningen city life, Schoem follows the story of Hades, a young skipper whose family is slowly falling apart. As the world changes faster than he can keep up, Hades is confronted with the emotional weight of change, loss, and unexpected connection. Inspired by Ingeborg Nienhuis's novella "Schoem or De vaarende Zoltkamper," this short film combines poetic realism with emotional depth. Directors Kashani and Komelizadeh draw on their own intercultural experiences, creating a work that is simultaneously simple and aesthetically daring.

Twice-orphaned Jace, a seven-year-old Albanian of Greek origin, witnesses a massacre that wipes out his entire foster family in Argyrokastron, and then falls in the hands of a bunch of ruthless gangsters who "export" children abroad for various profitable reasons (ranging from beggary to organ trade). Jace ends up in Athens, Greece, begging at street corners, exploring the secret horrors of brutal institutions for young offenders or, much later, serving obscure patrons, in an underworld where violent loss seems to be his only destiny. The movie follows Jace's inverted Odyssey in a dark universe of abuse, murder and fear, as he desperately (and silently) seeks for a "family" of his own or, at least, for a sense of belonging

In this documentary, a filmmaker travels back to his native soil. The personal film deconstructs the caricature of the former, all-Dutch fishing village of Bunschoten-Spakenburg and at the same time illustrates in which ways this secluded community influences the identity of modern youngsters.

This interactive documentary recreates a time and place that only exists in the memories of Iranian Kurds who are forced to live in diaspora around the world. Many people died during the events recounted here and in the years that followed.

This documentary shows us what the Afterparty is actually about in a discreet and non-sensationalistic way. Because have you ever wondered why is it illegal to experiment with our consciousness? AFTER dives into the "hedonistic" night-life of wandering young adults in Amsterdam who push their physical and mental boundaries every weekend to explore 'the meaning of life' in a world that seems asleep to them. What do the students find and see when they step out of the rat race? What deeper human needs are fulfilled at these after-hours when they use drugs together? The film tries to answer these questions while it resembles the experience of being under influence. Some viewers might perceive an escapist and extreme behavior, but underneath is a greater human desire for intimacy and security.

Mack is a 8 year old streetwise boy wants to win all the time. With his mirrored heart he has to perform on the motorcrosstrack while death watches him from all corners.
