Synopsis:

John, the Knife and the River: An older man consumed by jealousy over his much younger wife decides to venture into the jungle in search of riches without her. When he returns 4 years later, he finds that his mistrust in her may have been well-founded. Twice a Woman: Woman (Laura) falls in love with girl (Sylvia). They have an affair, but suddenly Sylvia runs off with the ex-husband of Laura. Laura can't understand why, but Sylvia doesn't want to talk to her. Later it becomes clear why Sylvia did this and then it is the ex-husband to be upset. He takes revenge. Red Desert Penitentiary: Hollywood movie making types are spoofed. The Vanishing: Rex and Saskia are on holiday, a young couple in love. They stop at a busy service station and Saskia disappears. Rex dedicates the next three years trying to find her. Then he receives some postcards from her abductor, who promises to reveal what has happened to Saskia. The abductor, Raymond Lemorne, is a chilling character to whom Rex is drawn by his intense desire to learn the truth behind his lovers disappearance. The truth is more sinister than he dared imagine. Utz: Fisher, a fine art dealer, goes to Prague after the death of a friend, the Baron von Utz, to see if he can obtain some of the pieces of the Baron's priceless Meissen porcelain collection. He meets up with an old mutual friend, Orlik, who tells him about the Baron's past, his struggle to keep his collection intact, while Fisher struggles to discover what happened to the collection. The Vanishing: Barney teaches chemisty, and is planning to abduct a woman. Despite methodical planning and countless trial runs he always manages to mess things up. Then Diane, who is traveling with her boyfriend Jeff, unwittingly makes herself an easy target. The story is mainly from Jeff's viewpoint, as he searches for Diane. Barney watches him. Crimetime: Bobby Mahon is an actor playing a notorious serial killer on prime-time television. The show becomes a hit, which encourages the real-life murderer on whom it's based, to go on a spree to make it on screen. Dying to Go Home: A Portuguese immigrant in Holland dies in an accident and is buried in a cemetery in Amsterdam. Soon he discovers that his soul won't rest in peace until his body is laying down in his fatherland. This way he decides to go to Portugal to convince his sister to travel to Amsterdam and bring back his body. The only problem is that the only way for him to be seen or heard by the living is appearing in their dreams. The Stone Raft: An inexplicable crack in the Pyrenees Mountains provokes excitement and scientific curiosity. As the geological fracture deepens and widens, the European community begins to disassociate itself from the calamity, and panic ensues among tourists and residents attempting to escape. When Spain and Portugal physically separate from the continent, the detached Iberian peninsula aimlessly floats off to sea, becoming home to a group of god-like humans. Dark Blood: Dealing with nuclear testing and its long-lasting deadly effects, the story portrays Boy, a young widower living in the desert on a nuclear testing site. Living as a hermit, he waits for the end of the world, carving Kachina dolls that he believes have magical powers. While travelling on a 'second' honeymoon across the Arizona desert, the car of a Hollywood jet-set couple breaks down. They are rescued by Boy, who holds them prisoner, because he desires the woman, and wants to create a better world with her. Stamping Ground: This film documents the - to the Dutch at least - legendary Holland Pop Festival, held in Rotterdam over the weekend of 26-28 June, 1970. Directly inspired by the then groundbreaking Woodstock Music & Arts Fair (speaking of legends...), the Holland Pop Festival (aka Kralingen, after the neighborhood in whose forest it set camp in) offered the same picture of peace, music and love, with a cast of 60,000 hippies enjoying a hazy and heady weekend of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. Sweetwater Junction: Texas is the homeland of the Western diamondback rattlesnake, a plague to cattle, oil pipe engineers and everyone not on the alert. At Sweetwater's annual Rattlesnake Round-Up - the largest in the world - only live snakes are brought in, to extract the venom needed for medical research. Thus, ingenious and scrupulously delicate hunting techniques are developed.

Het Vlot: An intimate account on a 1000 km journey on a river in the North East of Brazil, on a self made raft, carrying a small household including two children. Life in slow motion with fleeting encounters along the banks. When the family arrives after a month in Teresina, the merchandise is sold, the raft dismantled, branch by branch, leaf by leaf. Zeca, Portret van een Vaqueiro: The picture retraces the professional, social and family life of Zeca, a cow-boy from the northeast of Brazil. From the most perfect calm he can fly into a state of the wildest excitement. From his lazy hammock he leaps into the hard saddle, which carries him at breakneck speed along tortuous paths in search of his cattle. Homeland: Homeland is the fourth film in a series about two Palestinians families George Sluizer followed since 1974. Homeland is also a personal film about George's motivation and his relationship with members of the two families who became very close. They are now scattered around the world, unable to return to the homeland. It's also a historical saga about the Palestinians and their struggle for land an dignity. Adios Beirut: Adios Beirut is the third part of a chronicle of two Palestinian families, and their life over eight tumultuous years, is a story about fear, uncertainty, longing, is a film about the new Diaspora of the Palestinians, is shot in Lebanon, Israel, France, Italy and Cuba. Een Brief uit Libanon: In 1974 George Sluizer made a film about two Palestinian families and their desire for recognition. At the end of the civil war in Lebanon he returned to see if his friends had survived. Most did, but the years of fighting left and indelible mark on their lives. Het Land der Vaderen: It is a film about the followers of the Palestinian guerrillas and a film about two families driven from their rightful territory. The film is reflective about a situation of political tension, violence and terror, nevertheless a film about daily life. Letters: A little village. Between the loam huts, a new construction: the school. In the classroom, adults make a first attempt at writing. At home,the children help their illiterate parents with their schoolwork. A woman says : 'Why I am at school? I don't need to read or write. But I want to vote.'.
