THE LAST OF THE UNJUST
directed by Claude Lanzmann
A place: Theresienstadt. A unique place of propaganda which Adolf Eichmann called the “model ghetto”, designed to
mislead the world and Jewish people regarding its real nature, to be the last step before the gas chamber.
A
man: Benjamin Murmelstein, last president of the Theresienstadt Jewish Council, a fallen hero condemned to exile, who was
forced to negotiate day after day from 1938 until the end of the war with Eichmann.
Claude Lanzmann’s new film reveals a little-known yet fundamental aspect of the Holocaust, and sheds light on the origins
of the “Final Solution” like never before.
Written by: Claude Lanzmann

GRAND CENTRAL
directed by Rebecca Zlotowski
Gary is young, agile, and a quick study. He is one of those people to whom life promised nothing. From odd job to odd job,
he finds himself employed in a nuclear power plant. There, near the reactors where the radioactive doses are the highest,
he at last finds what he's been looking for: money, a team, a family. But the team is also Karole, Toni's wife, with whom
he falls in love. Forbidden love and exposure to radiation slowly contaminate Gary. Each day becomes a threat.
Written by: Rebecca Zlotowski, Gaëlle Macé

Editing: Julien Lacheray
Key cast: Tahar Rahim, Léa Seydoux, Olivier Gourmet

PROFESSION: DIRECTEUR
directed by Yves Montmayeur
Michael Haneke, theorist of the image, reveals like no other the dregs of our society, with their existential fears, emotional
outbursts and meltdowns – a portrait.

SHIRLEY – VISIONS OF REALITY
directed by Gustav Deutsch
The film uses 13 cinematically vivified paintings by Edward Hopper to tell the story of a woman who lives in a reality she
doesn’t accept as given but rather as a made up and changeable construct and who sticks to her convictions.

SOLDIER JANE
directed by Daniel Hoesl
Fanni has had enough of money and leaves to buy a tent. Anna has had enough of pigs and leaves the farmer – one needle
in the hay. In the new game Fanni rolls the dice while Anna does not think twice, she knocks down all the pins. Together they
raise their voice and shape one mutual tune. Differences attract each other, and jolly they move on – together on their
distinct journeys, where their dreams are set – towards a new found liberty
