During the year 1961, the influential German-Jewish philosopher Hannah Arendt reported for the New Yorker magazine on the war crimes trial of the Nazi Adolf Eichmann. Her articles introducing her now-famous concept of the "Banality of Evil" triggered off an unprecedented controversy. Using footage from the actual Eichmann trial and weaving a narrative that spans three countries, Margarethe von Trotta turns the often invisible passion for thought into immersive dramatic cinema.

Nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival in 1986, Rosa Luxemburg is Margarethe von Trotta's remarkable biopic of one of the most fascinating figures in modern European history.

After carrying on a passionate affair in secret for decades, two retired neighbors find their relationship put to the test by an unforeseen event.

Stefan Zweig: Farewell To Europe tells the story of the Austrian writer and his life in exile from 1936 to 1942. Zweig was one of the most famous writers of his time, but as a Jewish intellectual he struggled to find the right stance towards the events in Nazi Germany. Driven to emigrate to South America at the peak of his worldwide fame, Zweig fell into despair at the sight of Europe’s downfall. This visually stunning and emotionally powerful film explores what it means to be a refugee, and exposes the difficult decision to speak out or remain silent in the face of tyranny.
