1. Forever and a Day 
“Living legend” might be cliché to describe the Scorpions, one of the longest existing rock bands in the world. This documentary chronicles the birth and journey of the legendary rock band from Hannover, Germany. (Side tip: they are the one of the headliners of the last day of

2. Max & Lenny 
Congolese girl, Max, is illegally staying in Marseille, France and meets Lenny who comes from Northern Marseille. Coming from two very dissimilar backgrounds, the two teenage girls bond over rap.
 
3. Do Not Disturb 
Brazilian literary virtuoso Paulo Coelho said: “When you want something bad enough, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” An avid Jazz listener, Michel comes across a rare LP in a flea market. However, the whole universe seems to conspire in disturbing Michel’s “hour of peace” of listening to the music.

actress, Moon So-ri, who directed and starred in the film herself. Last but not least, Dreams Come True depicts the livelihood of Filippino immigrant workers at a sewing factory in Seoul, through Kang Hye-jung’s realistic performance. The films are screened under several different sections, and most are followed by Q&A sessions with the directors.
