With disarming wit, the Dalai Lama reflects on balancing millennia-old Tibetan Buddhist traditions with the contemporary values of our globalised society that now struggles to overcome violence and war while standing on the brink of environmental collapse.

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.

Thirteen-year-old Melrick lives in a suburb of Paris but spends his summer holidays with his beloved grandmother, Nicole, in Cayenne, French Guiana. Eager to learn to play the drums, he awakens the spirit of Lucas Diomar, his uncle and Nicole’s son, who died tragically years earlier.

When her mother dies in the forest along the Polish-Belarusian border, sixteen-year-old Kurdish girl Runa must care for her four younger brothers and her depressed father. While the family navigates an uncertain future and the looming threat of deportation in a refugee centre, Runa finds refuge in the world of art… This partially animated documentary tells the story of coming of age in the shadow of the global refugee crisis.
