Amma & Appa

Dir.: Franziska Schönenberger, Jayakrishnan Subramanian

The directors, a couple, and the film's protagonists (she is from a family in Munich and he is from a family from Tamil India) set out to examine the question of cultural gaps. A sweet romantic comedy documentary that will leave you giddy with delight.  

Relativity

Dir.: Mariko Minoguchi

Aron's tragic death leaves Nora beside herself with grief. Numb she meets a single father who slowly becomes an imperative part of her life.  Mariko Minoguchi demonstrates a mastery of cinematic expression and exquisitely juggles the two plot lines in a remarkable way.  

The Garden

Dir.: Sonja Kröner
| 97 minutes

Three generations gather at the family's summer house, where tensions and frictions arise.  Beneath the measured pace lies a cinematic gem; not a severe drama, but rather a patient observation of family dynamics. The Garden is a delicate, humane, and heartfelt work.

Walchensee Forever

Dir.: Janna Ji Wonders

This family saga begins and ends on a beautiful lakeshore in Bavaria, where the great grandmother opened a small café in 1920. A complex and dramatic story of five generations of women full of love, heartbreak, closeness, and hope, told and filmed with extraordinary delicacy.
