Animation enthusiasts are recommended to watch
Fear(s) of the Dark, a French film in which the best of today’s illustrators and comic-strip artists take out their imagination on the theme of fear. The film, which is at times definitely frightening, combines the features of anime and horror, and exposes fear as it is in abstract, black-and-white forms and shapes.
Edison and Leo, a stop-motion animated Canadian feature tells the story of a far from average family in a bizarre, gothic and surreal tale, where motifs of love, theft, and revenge become intertwined.
5 Centimeters per Second is a Japanese anime centred around emotions: it depicts human relationships through a highly elaborated visuality and with great sensibility.
Those who like documentaries might be interested in James Marsh’s

Documetary section will be
Up the Yangtze, which shows how the building of Three Gorges Dam, a symbol of China’s economical growth, affects the life of everyday people.
Music fans will most probably indulge in the program of the
Music for All section, which offers insight into the life of the most extraordianary musicians and the most curious musical scenes.
Berling Calling, a film starring Paul Kalkbrenner, the internationally renowned DJ, reveals Berlin’s musical underground, while
Largo gives a remarkably authentic feel of Mark Flanagan’s famous Los Angeles club.
