58th Berlin International Film Festival

Set in contemporary China, In Love We Trust is a beguiling, tightly woven tale that asks important questions about modern relationships and how far should one go to save the life of a child.  Ultimately it is a film about the universal impact of love.  It also shows us forgiveness and grace and reminds us of what it means to be part of the human family.

Corridor #8 is an honest and open look at an area of the world suffering from a lack of connection. This film is really about hope, healing, and man’s shared humanity.  In the Balkan countries of Macedonia, Albania, and Bulgaria, echoing the footsteps taken by the disciple Paul so long ago, the film asks, “Why do these countries have no means of common transportation?”  As borders, walls, and fences dominate man-made politics, this is an important reminder of Christian responsibility and human progress.

Using light and space to stress the inner feelings of repentance and hope of a young man released from prison, the film Boy A shows how his attempts for a “new” life and a life in truth are destroyed by the ignorance of individuals and the hunger for sensationalism by the media.

Coming out of prison after 15 years, Juliette, with the help of her sister and a friendly surrounding, gradually starts the process of rebirth, reconciliation and forgiveness, showing us that we are more than what we did and what is happening to us.
