Composed from the conversations that the director holds with people passing by in the street under his Warsaw apartment, each story in 'The Balcony Movie' is unique and deals with the way we try to cope with life as individuals. All together, they create a self-portrait of contemporary human life, and the passers-by present a composite picture of today's world.
In 1954, a German-Austrian expedition led by Mathias Rebitsch set off for the difficult-to-access Karakoram Mountains, geographically north of the Himalayas. They come across the Hunza, a people who live in the valley of the same name and believe they are descended from the soldiers of Alexander the Great. The documentary conveys impressions of the poor life of the Hunza people, the harvest, a court hearing, festivals and the children's everyday school life. Finally, the expedition sets off again and sets up its main camp on the moraine ridge of a glacier, where they measure the glacier and the earth's magnetic field. Finally, some men from the research community set off for a sub-peak of Batura.

Tourné pendant dix ans à la fois sur film et en vidéo, le film consiste en une série de tableaux soigneusement composés de personnes et d'environnements. Les piétons traversent une rue animée de Pékin, les métallurgistes s'attardent devant une usine déserte, les touristes rient et gambadent sur une plage bondée, les fidèles s'agenouillent pour prier dans un village isolé. Avec un œil pictural pour la composition, Wang capture la Chine telle qu'il la voit, appelant à une halte temporaire une terre en constante évolution.

Rotterdam 2040 is a film about the city’s future, departing from the principle of Gyz La Rivière that you can’t look ahead without considering your past (something that hasn’t always been Rotterdam’s strongest feature). At high speed, La Rivière reconstructs the history of Rotterdam from the time before the bombings until now, and expands the developments to the year 2040 (100 years after the bombing and the 700th anniversary of the city). La Rivière made a specific choice to expose his personal vision, which is sometimes radical or a little absurd. So no experts and no talking heads, but an assault of old and new imagery, held together by La Rivière as the narrator of the film. Although Rotterdam 2040 deals with architecture and urban renewal, it is actually a film about people. The subjective experience of the city by its (future) occupants mainly determines the parade of architectural blunders and suggestions for the future. All tongue-in-cheek of course.

Frédéric Florey et Floriane Devigne proposent un voyage initiatique immobile dans une Suisse presque invisible : celle des laissés-pour-compte. Le décor de cette comédie humaine parfois grinçante n'est autre que la chambre à lessive d'un immeuble lausannois. Dans ce lieu microcosmique où on lave presque son linge sale en famille, s'esquissent ou se devinent les fondements mêmes d'une société.
