              Acclaimed German filmmaker Alexander Kluge, one of the most relentlessly innovative and intellectual figures in contemporary German cinema/ has in recent years produced a remarkable series of works for television. Produced for the German television program "Ten to Eleven" this series comprises an extraordinarily rich body of work that compliments and dialogues with Kluge's films. Traversing realms of desire and culture in the 19th and 20th centuries, these highly experimental works weave together eclectic scenarios that reference advertising, cinema, opera, and electronic communications, and culminate in an ironic critical discourse on fantasy, representation, and history.

              Between 600 kebabs a day, nagging students and an oversalted soup: three cooks and a kitchen hand work in the small university canteen in Tehran, carrying out their duties at the market and in the kitchen with wit and irony, philosophizing about cooking and life in general....In this rather unpretentious micrososmos we gain a real insight into the private moments and interesting views in this small parallel universe.

              Street Art is much more than graffiti. Its messages in public spaces evolve over night on walls, doors and other pieces of “urban furniture”. An urban art form that directly communicates with every passer-by, it makes and leaves strong and provocative comments on today´s society. This character driven documentary composes an eclectic image of the phenomenon of contemporary Street Art through the eyes of some of its best creators and those who discover, collect and love it in Paris, Berlin, New York, London and Moscow. Street Art is wild, alive, popular and irritating. Much more than a rebellion, but rather a truly political artistic expression. The film explains the phenomenon and puts it into a larger cultural context for the audience.

              “Why can't you actually find a man?” Sonbol is asked by her mother. The answer is silence. Sonbol Fatemi is 35: she is attractive, single and divorced, has her own dentist surgery, likes to tell dirty jokes and has a passion for car races - competing against men. Sonbol lives in the holy city Mashad, in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Living a life like this in Iran means that she has to fight everyday. Against her mother who would love to arrange another marriage for her. Against the sports administration that wants to exclude women from rallyes altogether. And not least, against her own doubts about God and whether He is actually by her side. SONBOL gives a unique insight into a torn society by painting the portrait of an extraordinary and unconventional woman who pays a high price in order to be her self.

              Without resorting to a display of violence the film examines human rights violations in relation to the human shadow by combining the tactics of propaganda with the absence of hero, victim and villain.
