La préparation du film Ils ne portent pas de smoking se déroule pendant les grèves des usines de l’ABC (Santo Andre, São Bernardo et São Caetano), banlieues industrielles de São Paulo. 150.000 métalurgistes en grève affrontent le gouvernement militaire. Pour Hirszman, ce documentaire témoigne de l’expérience concrète qui doit servir de référence aux ouvriers pour la lutte des classes au Brésil. On y voit et on y entend, entre autres personnalités, le jeune Lula, ancien métallurgiste et déjà leader syndical.

All politics are local in this hilarious documentary following a mayoral race in the town of Bogota, NJ. When the much-reviled and legally blind Republican incumbent Steven Lonegan announces he will run for re-election, the town citizens go on the offensive to unseat him. Enter Democrat Fred Pesce, back from retirement to share the ticket: however with his politics compared to those of Tony Soprano, the field is open for the blind local football hero, Dave Musikant to step in as a write-in independent candidate? officially becoming the only mayoral race in the nation where two of the three candidates are legally blind! Anytown, USA resonates as an all-too-familiar look at the charade of partisan politics in our increasingly polarized nation.

An essay documentary about the city of Rotterdam, this film is a collaboration between Hafiz Rancajale and Otty Widasari as part of an art project for New Beginners exhibition at TENT, Center Rotterdam, Netherlands. This video captures the daily life of the people in the new city, rebuilt by the Dutch government after its destruction after World War II. As filmmakers who came from a country formerly colonized by the Dutch (Indonesia), Otty and Hafiz saw this city through the eyes of a 'stranger'. Its historical background was different from anything they'd seen, yet it was still closely related to the Indonesian nation. The film captures the personal experience of how motion, building, transportation, landscape and history from the past become a lens through which to view place. In the film BE RTDM, there is no linear structure in its storytelling . The film is arranged in a series of images and sounds complementing the atmosphere, but sometimes mutually negating each other. It tells about the past, the current insecure world, and the ideal world that is constantly evolving.

In the darkest days of World War II, Jewish fugitives attempt to escape occupied Holland -- only to face a Nazi ambush. Rachel Stein (Carice van Houten) alone survives the attack and joins the Dutch Resistance to avenge her family. She soon confronts the ultimate test: she must infiltrate German headquarters by tempting Captain Ludwig Mÿntze (Sebastian Hoch). In the heat of passion, he uncovers her duplicity ... but keeps her secret. Then Rachel's espionage reveals that a murderous traitor lurks within Resistance ranks. Unable to fully trust anyone, Rachel navigates a minefield of deception and becomes an enemy to both sides. Epic, passionate, breathtaking, Black Book relates an untold story of World War II where the distinctions between good and evil become blurred by the complexities of human nature.

In BLIND SPOT - HITLER'S SECRETARY, Traudl Junge describes on camera her experience working as one of Adolf Hitler's private secretaries from 1942 until his suicide in 1945. After keeping quiet for nearly 60 years, Frau Junge tells the riveting story of working alongside Hitler until the final collapse of the Nazi regime. Frau Junge is one of only a handful of witnesses to Hitler's last days in his fortified bunker as the Third Reich was collapsing above them. In his final hours, he dictated his final will and testament to her. Frau Junge also worked with Hitler at Wolf's Lair (his field headquarters in East Prussia), at his Bavarian residence at Berchtesgaden and on the Führer's special train. In Spring 2001, due to the efforts of the writer Melissa Müller, André Heller met Traudl Junge and was able to persuade her that it would be fascinating as well as historically important to make a record of her unique experiences... and of her present attitudes to that time, after years of contemplation and self-analysis. Together with documentary filmmaker Othmar Schmiderer, Heller has condensed 10 hours of material into a 90-minute film that renounces all form of stylistic embellishment and instead relies entirely on the compelling force of this woman and her stunning tale. We learn that her experiences left her with a vehement hatred for the Nazi regime and ideology, though - and this is perhaps the most painful aspect of her very personal story - she still seems unable to forgive the young girl she once was for the naiveté and ignorance that led her to admire Hitler. Traudl Junge died from cancer on February 11, 2002 in Munich just hours after BLIND SPOT had its World Premiere at the 52nd Berlin International Film Festival and just days after the publication of her memoirs, In the Final Hours. She was 81 years old.
