In this section, we present nine feature-film highlights from this year’s festival season. We take you along on a journey to Argentina, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Canada, Iran, Jordan, Taiwan, Tunisia and Tibet. You can marvel at magnificent landscape shots in RED PATH and SNOW LEOPARD, get to know broken souls in BABY, MALU, MOST PEOPLE DIE ON SUNDAYS, PIERCE and THE OLD BACHELOR and witness struggle in SUGAR ISLAND. Then there is exground filmfest’s extraordinarily hilarious closing film, RUMOURS, where various heads of state come together for a G7 summit meeting at fictive Dankerode Castle – they are supposed to formulate the final declaration in the park, but, alas, even top politicians are only human! Not to be missed: Cate Blanchett as Angela Merkel and Charles Dance as Joe Biden.
