A film<br />
by Olivier Kohler and Alain Margot<br />
They are young, sexy and provocative. These uninhibited members<br />
of Ukraine’s avant-garde feminist group FEMEN conduct a<br />
surprising campaign against the government, corruption and<br />
sexual tourism. They are beautiful and proud to be so. They use<br />
their bodies as weapons of mass persuasion. Their disturbing radical<br />
approach to politics in this largely conservative country has<br />
secured these controversial guardians of democracy an unusual<br />
place on the contemporary political scene.<br />

Forty-two years after Gaddafi’s brutal rise to power, the denial<br />
of free speech, justice and liberty has given way to a new surge<br />
of life. Set between the endless beaches of the Mediterranean,<br />
joyriding around the fallen Katiba in Benghazi and the rubble of<br />
the tyrant’s palace, this film presents three women who, in the<br />
hope for a better future and the pain of past injustice, embody<br />
the renewal of an entire nation.<br />

They claim their rights to be sensual, sexual women.<br />

The Mediator scandal in France not only disgusted the nation but<br />
revealed just how the system can go wrong. Medical expert independence<br />
is essential to ensure drug security. Conflicts of interest<br />
are many and often kept secret. The pharmaceutical companies<br />
who finance research, specialised media and professional training,<br />
are often accused. But what is the truth ? Victims, doctors<br />
and government health officials have now been heard. Many disturbing<br />
revelations have come to light under the transparency<br />
laws. This is an exceptional investigative report.<br />

A film<br />
by Françoise Weilhammer and Florence Fernex<br />
A growing number of cancer patients and scientists believe that the<br />
spread of various forms of cancer in Western countries is due to the<br />
deterioration of our environment. These new “cancer crusaders” say<br />
that we are exposed to tens of thousands of chemical substances<br />
every day, yet only 2 to 3% of them have undergone toxic testing.<br />
This investigative report brings us to the heart of a green war<br />
crucial to the health of those living in Switzerland, France and<br />
the USA.<br />

A film<br />
by Béatrice Mohr and Isabelle Nussbaum<br />
Has the Bible gone bling ? Traditional churches lose their glout as<br />
evangelical preachers grow in popularity. Movie theatres, warehouses<br />
and famous concert halls are used to celebrate a strange<br />
marriage between spirituality, business and marketing. By-products<br />
are sold, rock‘n roll cocktail parties are held as a new kind<br />
of religious ceremony, stock traders get together to pray before<br />
the market opens. This messianic approach to success is growing<br />
in popularity, but its sect-like tendancies are disturbing. This investigative<br />
report takes us to the heart of an opaque religiosity<br />
that nothing seems to be able to stop.<br />

A film<br />
by Béatrice Mohr<br />
Many believe that violence among teenagers exists because foreign<br />
students are not well integrated into our schools. However, a remarkable<br />
programme is now being tested in Switzerland. Learning<br />
to dance together, especially the tango, helps children grow in<br />
tolerance and respect for others. The smiles and giggles at hearing<br />
old-fashioned music quickly give way to pleasure, play and a<br />
certain form of new-found innocence. With dance and music<br />
the idea of duty and judgement are replaced by the gracefully<br />
syncopated sounds of the tango.<br />

A film<br />
by Jean Quaratino<br />
The tattoo, once the illreputed sign of the rebel, has now evolved<br />
into a cultural phenomenon and a full-fledged art form.<br />
Having a tattoo has become a way of asserting one’s identity and<br />
taking possession of one’s own body, of one’s own being.<br />
Psychological armor, esthetic pride, somewhere between pain and<br />
secret pleasure : tattoos are ever more popular, especially among<br />
women. However, it can be a real obstacle course, a veritable<br />
torture, to have them removed. A painfully coulourful overview.<br />

A film<br />
by Michel Heiniger<br />
Pornography is readily available on internet and easily falls into<br />
the hands of younger and younger children. Other than parental<br />
control software and sexual education, how do we create new<br />
means of prevention ? How do we define the borders between<br />
fiction, fantasy and reality ? The police and school authorities<br />
are dealing with a generation of teenagers who have grown up<br />
on pornography. Some of them have already committed serious<br />
sexual crimes. This film report reconstructs a recent event and<br />
takes a look at an organisation known as Action Innocence. It<br />
opens the debate as well as our eyes.<br />

A film<br />
by Emmanuelle Bressan Blondeau<br />
What makes an ordinary man known to the social services turn<br />
violent ? This film was inspired by the story of a 60 year-old mathematician<br />
known as the “Mad Gunman of Bienne”. The elderly<br />
gentleman shot a Swiss police officer and then continued harassing<br />
the police force for 9 days. We examine several cases of<br />
people already known to the social services who might one day<br />
spin out of control and become a threat to society. How does one<br />
intervene to help such people while still respecting their individual<br />
rights ? An insight into the complex relationship between<br />
our social services and their clients, at the heart of our society.<br />

A film<br />
by Emmanuelle Bressan Blondeau and Jean-Bernard Menoud<br />
Switzerland is one of the only countries in the world that allows<br />
foreigners to commit suicide. More than 1,000 people have come<br />
to die with the Dignitas group in Zurich since 1998.<br />
Dignitas openly defends the right to suicide for individuals, couples<br />
and the depressed.<br />
This “death tourism” is a troubling affair. Though the majority of<br />
Swiss are in favour of assisted suicide, the government doesn’t<br />
want to see the country become a centre for dying.<br />
This extraordinary film takes us to Germany, Belgium and France<br />
where we try to understand Switzerland’s controversial “death<br />
trade”.<br />

“Specimen” - noun (latin “sample”). An individual sample of a species.<br />
Are we all the same ? Are we all unique ? Why do we lie ? Live in<br />
couples ? Help each other ? Manipulate others ? “Specimen” turns<br />
to science for the answer and carries out all sorts of experiments.<br />
Role playing, hidden cameras and tests taken by our volonteer panel<br />
are analysed by scientific experts in our attempt to discern what is<br />
real and unreal in our stereotypes and other shared beliefs. A lucid<br />
energetic programme that joins science and humour in a sociological<br />
study of our species in its daily life.<br />

I’m Selfish, Neither Are You. What is the difference between selfishness<br />
and empathy ? Does a “generosity gene” exist ? Between selfishness<br />
and alturism, our behaviour is as variable as that of the animals.<br />
The Truth About Liars. Though rationale and goals may vary, lying<br />
seems to be fundamental to the functionning of society. For selfish or<br />
altruistic reasons, for better or for worse, we hide things, cover up and<br />
mislead all day long.<br />
We’re All Manipulated ! Although we believe we are free, experience<br />
shows that we are constantly “under the influence”. We are susceptible<br />
to what others think or say about us, to goings-on at the pub, to<br />
stimuli and pressure coming at us from every side. From our distorted<br />
reminisces to manipulation of the brain, “Specimen” examines the role<br />
of neuroscience in our daily lives.<br />
A Taste of Money. Big-time spenders, independently wealthy or<br />
deeply in debt ... our relationship to money is not always easy. Money<br />
brings pleasure, but it also creates worries and unusual reactions. A pile<br />
of banknotes in one’s hands is enough to strengthen one’s self-confidence<br />
and creates a form of egotism that even builds resistance to pain.<br />

For the Night or for Life. Humans are one of the rare mammels<br />
that fall in love and live in couples. What lies behind the alchemy of<br />
falling in love ?<br />
Scared to Death. Fear is a natural alarm system that warns against<br />
impending danger. Programmed since birth to protect our own<br />
lives, we have developped numerous instinctive fears. Try wandering<br />
through the forest late at night or push a spider-phobia sufferer into<br />
a vivarium ! These are just some of the experiments “Specimen” performs.<br />
A cold-swet programme that never forgets those who really<br />
enjoy a good fright.<br />
Me Jane, You Tarzan. Beyond cliché, behavioural differences<br />
between men and women are very real. Is this due to hormones or<br />
education ?<br />
I Eat Therefore I Am. Why are we so readily suspicious of unknown<br />
foods ? Why are we attracted to fatty or sweet ones ? Some people<br />
can’t resist fast foods, others eat only organic and some follow high<br />
protein diets. Changing our diet not only helps us stay slim but<br />
directly affects our emotions and behaviour.<br />

A programme<br />
by Isabelle Moncada, Mario Fossati and Françoise Ducret<br />
“36.9°C” is our normal body temperature when we are calm and<br />
healthy. The majority of medical programmes approach health<br />
problems from the medical world’s point of view, but “36.9°C”<br />
takes a look from the patient’s side. What is the show’s strong<br />
point ? It satisfies audience curiosity while still responding to<br />
medical specialists’ concerns. Its obsession ? Discovering how<br />
science today builds health tomorrow. Its bias ? Objectivity, being<br />
clear, thorough and independent. Its character ? Determined,<br />
when specific topical subjects require in-depth investigation.<br />

A film<br />

This molecule, which is used in the making of polycarbonate plastics,<br />
is not only found in baby bottles but is a component in most<br />
food packaging. Bisphenol A is a destructive endocrine disruptor<br />
which has a stronger negative effect the earlier we are exposed<br />
to it. As numerous scientific studies reveal potential health risks,<br />
the battle between industry, government and scientific experts<br />
seems inevitable. This investigative report juxtaposes diverse<br />
points of view. We travel to Denmark which is a forerunner in<br />
applying precautionary measures. Our investigation goes beyond<br />
the scientific field into the heart of the decision-making bodies<br />
that guarantee our food security.<br />

New drugs noticeably reduce the shaking associated with Parkinson<br />
disease but their side effects are complex. Hallucinations<br />
and behavioural problems begin to manifest along with normal<br />
symptoms. These side effects also affect sleep, digestion and the<br />
sense of smell. How does one live with Parkinson’s ? Profound<br />
brain stimulation through use of the scaple and the surgical knife<br />
appear to be harbingers of hope. This spectacular albeit delicate<br />
operation presents major risks to the patient’s emotional stability.<br />
This film is an impressive voyage into the heart of neuropsychology.<br />

A film<br />

Is our skin the ultimate inner mirror ? More than the mere passage<br />
of time, our skin reveals our inner conflicts, traumas and<br />
repressed emotions through cutaneous illnesses that sometimes<br />
last a lifetime. France’s dermato-psychoanalytic pioneer Danièle<br />
Pomey-Rey has researched such theories since the 1970s. But<br />
is simply “feeling good” enough to produce healthy skin ? It’s<br />
actually not that simple. Psoriasis, alopecia and vitiligo are sometimes<br />
so severe that only biotherapy injection treatments can help<br />
patients recover hope. This sensitive investigative report interviews<br />
patients and doctors to better understand the physical, social and<br />
psychological suffering of dematology’s forsaken patients.<br />

We can see with our tongues and hear with our skin ! Our brains<br />
are highly adaptable. Growing awareness of this sensorial versatility<br />
has clinical ramifications. Our brains can be successfully reeducated<br />
after a stroke or in case of a brain tumour. There is new<br />
hope for the visually and hearing impaired. This documentary<br />
reports on neuroscience’s incredible progress.<br />

A film<br />
by Benoît Aymon and Dominique Clément<br />
Seeing mountaineer André Georges’ quiet strength, we would<br />
never imagine the incredible challenges he has faced. He has<br />
climbed to 4000 metres 30 times in 30 days ; scaled 13 “north<br />
sides” in 13 days ; and reached 8000 metres a dozen times. His<br />
list of awards is astonishing. This 58-year-old wise man now<br />
lives in an abandoned Swiss village where he and his partner<br />
raise yaks. His words flow freely as we walk along and he reveals<br />
bits and pieces of his life, of yesterday’s adventures and today’s<br />
routine. A true mountaineer turned farmer whose tender heart<br />
peeps out from behind a rock-solid shell.<br />

A film<br />

Perhaps you know something about falconry, but have you seen it<br />
practiced in the forest, from a car or while paragliding ? Jacques-<br />
Olivier Travers, founder of France’s Leman Eagle Park, takes on<br />
the challenge of reawakening the hunting instinct in birds of prey<br />
born in captivity but destined to be set free. His secret ? He flies<br />
with his eagles ! Feathered and fabric wings soar together. The<br />
animal, the pilot and the falconer form an unusual aerial trio<br />
gliding over mountains and lakes. This film presents magnificently<br />
stunning images. A new vision of animal training.<br />

Where is writer / photographer / traveler Nicolas Bouvier’s Japan ? We<br />
view his 1950s photos beside images of today. We visit Arakicho,<br />
the ancient flower and geshia district. This film is a homage to<br />
tranquility, daily life and ordinary people, to urban beauty where<br />
plant life gracefully intermingles with asphalt. A colourful ballet of<br />
an authentic Japan living between immobility and movement. A<br />
tale told by a former geisha, a restaurant owner, a publisher and<br />
an architect. Voices that recompose Bouvier’s agelessly beautiful<br />
Japanese Chronicle.<br />

parts of France : Jura and Auvergne. Intertwining portraits,<br />
accordeon music and a country fair. A touching story of timeless<br />
young love far from the city, in the heart of nature and filled with<br />
sounds of elves, guitars and accordeons. A daydream carousel of<br />
songs that should go on forever.<br />

A documentary series<br />
by Béatrice Bakhti<br />
Adolescence is a difficult and often awkward age. A period full<br />
of dangers, discoveries, experimentations, dreams and tough<br />
realities. This collection of four documentary films explores the<br />
7-year development of seven teenagers from the age of twelve<br />
to eighteen. It is an unprecedented immersion into the usually<br />
secret world of adolescents who, with a rare spontaneity, share<br />
over all these years their thoughts on love and sex, alcohol and<br />
drugs, school, work and conflicts with parents. This is a unique<br />
series that paints the picture of the contemporary family, but also<br />
of an increasingly disorientated society.<br />

An animated reportage<br />
by Chappatte<br />
Cartoonist Patrick Chappatte travelled to South Lebanon in February,<br />
2009. He then created a comic strip about the war’s impact<br />
on the population for the Geneva newspaper ”Le Temps”.<br />
It is a simple direct description of the lives of people living amid<br />
cluster bombs which could explode at any moment although the<br />
war has been over for several months. Where can the children<br />
play ? How can the farmers work ? What do young people dream<br />
of ? Chappatte offers a sober, disturbing vision of a harsh reality.<br />
In his attempt to remain as close to the truth as possible, he uses<br />
intense black and white imagery in alternance with photos and<br />
couloured pictures. His work is original, inventive and new. It is<br />
half-way between documentary and short film, news reporting<br />
and animation. A captivating approach to unsetting the traps<br />
of history while making history accessible to all.<br />
A concrete, personal approach.<br />

A programme<br />
by Emmanuelle Jaquet<br />
Does TV always have to be one step behind internet? Not necessarily.<br />
“Nouvo” deals with state-of-the-art technology, publicity<br />
and today’s media. In a savvy mix of genres, “Nouvo” literally has<br />
something for everybody. Quick, open-minded, innovative reporting<br />
on a variety of subjects to take a good look at what’s going<br />
on. Short-format “Nouvo” is a sharp-eyed provocative programme<br />
where curiosity is king.<br />
My Cow Is a Horse. Forget about milk, yogurt and cheese. Think about galloping, the Wild<br />
West and horse show jumping. A young mother with a degree in philosophy has opened a<br />
cow-riding school. The cow like you’ve never imagined !<br />
Search the Housebreaker’s Ears. Small, twitsted, hairy, plump : burglers’ ears sometimes<br />
betray them at our very doorstep. Better than fiction, “Nouvo” outdoes CSI ...<br />
Botox Dampens Emotions. It eliminates facial wrinkles by paralysing certain muscles. But<br />
what if it also eliminates our emotions ? Botox is the perfect culprit, the reason behind all the<br />
frozen inexpressive faces that appear more and more often on our screens ...<br />
Cloud Hunters. Having one’s head in the clouds is no longer a state of mind, it is now a real<br />
hobby. Exhibitions, websites, reference book : welcome to Contemplation Land.<br />
Karoshio, When Work Kills. Anything is possible in Taiwan, the high tech capitol of the<br />
world. And this includes dropping dead on the job ! A never-before seen, disturbing vision<br />
that stretches to the limits of burnout.<br />

A series<br />
by Cécile O’Clin, Pierre Wazem and Pascal Magnin<br />
How do we save our planet without making endless speeches and<br />
wasting time ? Ecology is now a major world concern. “Just A<br />
Green Minute” is a stroke of the brush, a voice and sound effects.<br />
The images are quick, vivid and they work. The voice is young,<br />
modern and full of humour. Each minute-long sequence relates<br />
the story of the character’s household adventures. But a minute<br />
is certainly time enough for the message to be understood. “Just<br />
A Green Minute” is interactive and civic, a mix of ecology and<br />
lightheartedness. A small idea that really makes sense !<br />
