A profile of Francesco Lotoro, the Italian composer and pianist who has worked 30 years to recover, catalog, and perform music written during the Holocaust – including works written and performed secretly in Nazi concentration camps. Lotoro converted to Judaism after gravitating towards the religion from a young age. At the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, inmate orchestras were set up by the Nazis for their entertainment. The main function of the Auschwitz Camp Orchestra was to play marches and concerts. As an entire generation of musicians and artists were imprisoned or killed, Lotoro feels the course of European music would have differed drastically with their influence. He has catalogued over 8,000 pieces of music, which range from symphonies to tunes scribbled on discarded paper. Lotoro collects, arranges, and sometimes completes the works with great care. He argues the point of connection between life and death, in a place like a concentration camp, is music. Prisoners felt the music allowed them a sense of dignity, which Lotoro continues to work to preserve. Includes interviews with Bret Werb, music curator at the U.S. Holocaust Museum; Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, Holocaust survivor and former Auschwitz women’s orchestra member; Waldemar Kropinski, son of composer Jozef Kropinski; and Christoph Kulisiewicz, son of composer Aleksander Kulisiewicz.

In a country where killers are celebrated as heroes, the filmmakers challenge unrepentant death squad leader Anwar Congo and his friends to dramatise their role in genocide. But their idea of being in a movie is not to provide testimony for a documentary: they want to be stars in their favourite film genres - gangster, western, musical. They write the scripts. They play themselves. And they play their victims. This is a cinematic fever dream, an unsettling journey deep into the imaginations of mass - murderers and the shockingly banal regime of corruption and impunity they inhabit.

Mamie and Shiku are two young African girls. Almost adults. One is 17 years old, the other is 13. These two minor refugees who arrived in England to get a better life become friends. But soon, administrative and police issues separate them. Mamie becomes a clandestine while Shiku's foster family makes her a maid. The story tells how Mamie's courage will maybe allow them to have a future. It is a film about friendship and fear provoked by the discovery of a new world, a new language and new habits. What makes them adults has less to do with their age than with their stories.
Mamie et Shiku, deux jeunes Africaines. Presque adultes. L’une a 17 ans, l’autre 13. Ces deux réfugiées mineures, arrivées en Angleterre pour trouver une vie meilleure, se lient d’amitié. Mais bientôt, les déboires administratifs et policiers vont les séparer . Mamie devient clandestine tandis que la famille d’accueil de Shiku en fait une bonne à tout faire. Le film raconte alors comment le courage de Mamie leur permettra peut-être d’avoir un avenir.Un film sur l’amitié et sur la terreur liée à la découverte d’un nouveau monde, dont on ignore tout, langue et mœurs. C’est moins leur âge que leur histoire qui en fait des adultes.
