Kina and Yuk, a pair of polar foxes ready to start a family, live peacefully on the ice floes of North America. The temperature is abnormally mild and food is increasingly scarce, forcing Yuk to venture further and further afield to provide for their needs. Suddenly, a terrible crack caused by the melting ice disrupts this majestic landscape and separates our foxes, each isolated on a piece of the ice floe. They will have to brave every danger and explore new territories in the hope of reuniting in time for the birth of their cubs.

Kina et Yuk

Everyone has been invited to the head of the family's 60th birthday party. Family and friends gather at Helge Klingenfelt's manor house.

It is the ultimate feel-good education documentary that set the standard for many films that followed in this genre. The 2002 French success film Être & Avoir in which director Nicolas Philibert spent 10 weeks following charismatic master Georges Lopez and his motley collection of pupils - from pre-schoolers to the final year of primary school - all in one class. From learning to read to maths, with calmness and patience, Lopez gives his pupils confidence and prepares them for life outside the school walls. Nicolas Philibert's award-winning education documentary Être & Avoir evoked a nostalgic longing from a large audience for the simplicity of life as it still existed in the French countryside.

A sensitive and amusing portrait of an extraordinary teacher in a school for all the village's children. One of the public triumphs of the French documentary.

Mon Voisin Totoro

This magnificent masterpiece by the mature Kurosawa is a profound investigation of the folly of war. The film won an Oscar and two BAFTA awards. Shakespeare’s King Lear reinterpreted and filmed as a historical epic in sixteenth-century Japan.

Kurosawa extensively researched the folly of war and the decaying of the family, torn apart by betrayal, greed, and insatiable lust for power. Anno 1985, RAN was the most expensive Japanese film ever made. Its powerful imagery, the intense use of color and the Mahler-inspired soundtrack were further enhanced by the Academy Award-winning costume design.

“All technological progress of recent years has only taught people how to kill each other faster and on a bigger scale. Under such circumstances, I find it very difficult to keep an optimistic view on life.” (Akira Kurosawa)
