Country: France
Section: documentary
Tags: boy, girl, swimming
Description: Penty and his family are members of the Guarani tribe from the community of Bameno in the heart of the Amazon forest. They live in the selva, in a region that has been preserved from modern influence for many centuries. Today, however, as modern civilization is penetrating the forest to exploit its wealth, Guarani culture is fading. For the past decades, large industrial groups have been threatening the flora and fauna. The Guarani are one of the last traditional tribes of South America, with only 87 members left. This film paints the intimate portrait of a people struggling to preserve their traditional ways.

Year: 2003

Description: This very good documentary tells about youngsters in a country that does not exist anymore: Communist Eastern Germany (DDR). That ceased to exist in 1990.
We see a number of more or less well-known people, telling about their youth in the DDR. With subjects like the state-influence on their education, school, sex, culture, and ... their problems after 1990 -- when they had to adapt themselves to the very different ways of Western society.

Eux et moi
SC 9.4/10 

Year: 2001
Country: France
Section: documentary
Tags: boy, girl
Description: For the last few years an ethnographer has regularly gone to a small New Guinea village. He speaks the languages of these people who walk around naked with bows and arrows, who dispute over forest gardens with axes, and who have a short fuse like our own French peasants. He knows them well, but a certain discomfort subsists between them. They seem to be interested only in his toothbrush, they too often take him for a cash machine.
He finally comes to realise, while filming the monetary dealings and negotiations he has with them, that all of this, what he didn't want to see and was ashamed of, is in fact what bound them together. Only after a detour through impurity and self-interest could they find common ground.
We discover people who are no more savage than our next door neighbours. We end up forgetting that they live so far away. We watch with bemused smiles as the ethnographer and these people, who didn't boo him off the stage, get their feet wet in a friendship made the hard way.

Andere Tijden Special: De Andere Jaren Vijftig
SC 8.4/10 

Date: 27.09.2008
Country: Netherlands
Section: documentary
Tags: boy, girl, swimming
Description: Almost an hour of color film about the 1950s, a period that we only knew in black and white until now. Flower parades, Juliana and Bernhard with Maroons, lunch boxes on the luggage carrier, smoking children and the festive entrance of the Philips sun: these are just a few of the color fragments that change our view of the 1950s forever. The broadcast 'The other fifties' gives a unique picture of a decade that was boring, austere and basic, but actually not too bad in color.
