              The sun does not always shine in Barcelona, the “best shop in the world” according to the slogan of a City Council campaign. The thousands of tourists who visit Barcelona every month boost the city's economy, but their social and human impact is often overlooked. The precarious nature of jobs in tourism, real estate pressure from the hotels, and the types of problems that crop up when a city turns into a kind of theme park in an attempt to seduce outsiders. The classic problems of global capitalism, reflected in one of the country's major industries... “BCN Thematic Park” talks about all this... about Barcelona, a city-advertisement that is turning into the newest theme park on the international market.

              When tourists journey to the furthermost reaches of the Sepik River in Papua New Guinea, is it the indigenous tribes people or the white visitors who are the cultural oddity? This film explores the difference (and the surprising similarities) that emerge when "civilized" and "primitive" people meet.

              “In our century, hospitality has been replaced by the hospitality industry. When we see the word in print or we hear it from somebody's lips, it is always in the context of the commercial world: whether it be in reference to a holiday package deal, a hotel or the customer service offered by an air hostess. Hospitality has become merchandise, and luxury merchandise at that. A service provided in exchange for cash, or better still, for a signed slip guaranteeing payment by some prestigious credit card. In this world of economic trade, we are vulnerable without the shield of a Mastercard or American Express card. Only the balance of our plastic can protect us.” Hector Zagal and Julián Etienne: Sobre la Hospitalidad.

              Concrete Coast is about the social, cultural and environmental effects of the last section of un-urbanized Spanish Mediterranean coast being built up for residential tourism in the Region of Murcia. Agriculture is disappearing along this 230 km stretch of coastline and being replaced by 60 golf courses, marinas, freeways and new large-scale planned communities with 1,000,000 residences, mainly for sunseeking British retirees who are set to double the population of Murcia within few years. The impacts of these large-scale economic and political forces are illustrated by a Spanish farming family having their land expropriated and a retired British couple embarking on their new life in a country where they do not even speak the language. How will all of this change the culture of the region? Will the populations integrate? Will these and other Spanish farmers have to emigrate?

              A shot of a few buildings in the middle of nowhere, and then the camera delves deep into exotic, luxuriant vegetation. We are in Tropical Islands, a leisure complex near Krausnick, a village 70 kilometres south of Berlin on the site of a former Soviet airbase. At this very spot, moving from one affectation to the next, the upheavals of the last century pile up like so much sediment. Europe's scars and contradictions, its mindscape, its dreams and illusions.

              An overview of three classic clichés of tourism and pilgrimage: Jerusalem, Florence and Las Vegas. The first is barely coping under pressure, the second suggests a "theme-park" world, while the third....Las Vegas has all the answers. Inspired by the quote from St. Francis of Assisi, ?you are what you are seeking,? award-winning filmmaker Randi Steinberger set out to document her observations and those of the contemporary traveler. Shot entirely in the three mythic cities of Jerusalem, Florence and Las Vegas, tourists, guides and experts reveal a subtle contradiction between the modern pilgrims? anticipated expectations and their actual experiences. What we seek can be as profound as a religious epiphany, as superficial as a successful shopping spree, or as life changing as winning the big jackpot. Throughout we are subtly reminded that if we journey to seek change, we should remember to pack our sense of humor.

              Due to her Mongolian birthmark, the filmmaker Theresia Grösslinger embarks on a cinematic journey through Mongolia. However, the illusion of being closer to the country and its people because of her birthmark is destroyed right from the beginning. While taking part in a family's everyday life in the southern veldt, she soon has to admit to herself her disappointment at feeling completely lost in this vastness and that the family only regards her as a tourist.
