Magdi, a strong-willed, but lonely caregiver faces a daunting reality as she grows older: if she were to pass away, her disabled adult son, Feri would be left to the inhumane conditions of the Hungarian state care system, and would quickly follow her. Determined to secure a future for Feri, Magdi unites with a group of mothers who are in the same situation and they take legal action against the state. Your Life Without Me is a story of the strength and sacrifices of these women who find their own voice through the common fight and their community.  

Ein Wiener Sport Club is a cinematic kaleidoscope of community, inclusion, and transformation, showing how sport can be more than goals and scores—a place where the future is already being imagined.

Ein Wiener Sport Club is more than a football documentary. It is a poetic portrait of one of Vienna’s last true cult clubs, rooted in the 17th district between morbid charm and leftist resistance. The film explores a world where football becomes a social mirror and a utopian space of possibility. At its heart is the Friedhofstribüne, a vibrant meeting place where activists, artists, queers, retirees, and dreamers turn fandom into political art and collective ritual. Here, football is reimagined through anti-fascist banners, LGBTQ+ projects, and refugee support, creating a living social utopia. The film follows the people who bring WSC to life: Emina, captain of the women’s team fighting for equality; Frida, a young fencer uniting sport and activism; Stefanie, a queer artist promoting FLINTA visibility; Wolfgang, the idealist president; Alan, a devoted father; and Roland, the blind announcer whose voice captures every game.

  Behind the scenes of a hotel in the Italian Dolomites, the staff do everything they can to serve the guests and prevent complaints. The hotel has four stars, and a fifth is in sight. The housekeeping team, mainly made up of women, makes sure everything is clean. Breaks are short, and there are no holidays or sick leave. Personale watches the workers, all of whom have an immigrant background, as they do the same repetitive tasks; and in doing so, consistently adopts their perspective. Not being seen means not existing.
