- He was the best-known Russian opposition figure in the world: Alexei Navalny, critically poisoned in 2020, arrested in 2021 and locked up in notorious prison camps ever since. On February 16, 2024, Russian media reported his death. Navalny was only 47 years old. The film documents how he became Putin's fiercest opponent and where he stood politically. On February 16, 2024, Russian media reported the death of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny. He died under still unclear circumstances in the Russian penal colony No. 3 in Siberia. Navalny was only 47 years old. The film documents how Navalny became Putin's fiercest opponent and where he stood politically. Director Igor Sadreev had been secretly working on a film about the most famous Russian opposition figure for a long time. After Russia's attack on Ukraine, he smuggled the extensive filming material out of the country and left Moscow. When he arrived in Berlin, he was able to finish the film together with his colleague, the journalist Aleksandr Urzhanov. The two managed to convince companions, friends and critics to tell Navalny's career from their perspective. These interviews paint a contradictory picture of the prominent Kremlin critic: the beginnings of someone still searching at the liberal party "Yabloko", the expulsion after xenophobic videos and racist statements, the rise as a charismatic anti-corruption activist. Navalny's story becomes a gripping story about the pitfalls and dangers of striving for political power in Russia. But in a system that allows no alternatives, opposition politicians pay a high price.
- "Halloween: The Inside Story" takes a look at one of the most successful film franchises of all time as it goes behind the scenes of John Carpenter's "Halloween," the "frightfest" that redefined the horror genre in the late 1970s. Viewers will learn how writer and director John Carpenter made movie magic on a shoestring budget and how the costume department created one of the most iconic horror villains in movie history by spray-painting a mask of Captain Kirk. It's an inside look at Michael Myers and the Halloween terror he unleashes on the poor teenagers of Haddonfield, Illinois.
- Salim Amin, son and only child of Mohamed "Mo" Amin, undertakes a journey of recollection and reflection into the life of the frequently absent, globe-trotting father he loved, revered and feared. In his late teens, Mohamed Amin abandons his studies to pursue a career in photography which, over the course of thirty years, will turn him into a front-line cameraman extraordinaire - and, arguably, the most renowned photojournalist of his era. Training his candid lens across continents, Mo Amin's thirst for breaking news puts him repeatedly in harm's way - enduring weeks of torture, automatic arms fire, explosives and, ultimately, the amputation of his left arm - to become one of the most decorated news camera-man of all time. The documentary depicts Mo as an unbending, unforgiving and unapologetically rambunctious paterfamilias whose hunger for "the story" propels him to ever greater professional heights - often at the expense of those he cherishes. The 96-minute film is underpinned by extraordinary images from the vast Amin archive - currently available at World Picture Network in New York. The stills mark and frame Mo's life as it unfolds in a vivid and, at times, grisly tableau of international politics. Fuelled by a potent mixture of talent and ambition, Mo's stubborn courage, innate resilience and wily perseverance loom large as he encounters horror and brutality in the course of his indefatigable quest to inform, alert and chronicle.
