A little girl throws a fit when the television is turned off. Her father, a TV journalist, decides to get to the bottom of it. What's going on? Everyone around him seems either hypnotized, addicted, or turned into a vegetable by electronic screens. Is there proof of what people have suspected for years? One clue leads to another – from his home in Europe to the studios of Japan and the laboratories of America. His goal: to penetrate into the very heart of the TV industry. What haven't we been told? You may never watch TV the same way again… Filmed in the U.S., Canada, Japan and Switzerland. Includes the latest research on television viewer's behaviour.

Generation Meds is about a 23-years old young man, Andrew, who is among the ten percent of Americans who take SSRIs (prozac-type antidepressants.) Andrew is a talented musician and successful entrepreneur, but questions about the pills have been haunting him since he was prescribed Ritalin in the fifth grade. The film documents Andrew's journey as he sets out to interview other young people who suffer from mental problems and as he begins to implement changes that could dramatically alter his life.

DEAR SIR, DEAR DAD (CHER MONSIEUR, CHER PAPA)
(Produced by PS Productions - Co-produced with Swiss TV and ARTE. A Film by François Kohler. 1 x 52 / 1 x 84)
Karim, Adrien, Tristan, Joel and Matthew are all aged between 16 and 21. They share one common trait: the physical or emotional absence of their father and their desire to find him. They let their anguish show through, the feeling of something missing yet also hope for the future. Growing up without a father is hard work. They have to fill in this gap by forming their own real, imaginary or virtual image of themselves. This search for a father and the construction of these references look like an initiatory journey. They are the first steps of moving away from childhood into the adult-world.

(Produced by Climage (Switzerland) - A Film by Fernand Melgar.
1 x 100 minutes / 1 x 52 minutes)
For the first time, a camera unrestrictedly penetrates into the universe of a Swiss reception centre for asylum seekers. It presents a human gaze at an austere transition place, where 200 men, women and children, torn between doubt and hope, are awaiting the state's decision on their behalf. Empathy and distrust punctuate the exchanges between the residents and the staff of the centre in charge of applying the most restrictive asylum law in Europe . With emotion, though also with humour, THE FORTRESS immerses us into the heart of this daily sorting process of human beings.
Winner of Golden Leopard, Locarno International Filmfestival 2008
Nominated for Swiss Film Award
