Sooner or later, every police investigator comes across a case that remains unsolved and that haunts him. For Yohan, Clara’s murder proves to be that case. What starts as a thorough investigation into the victim's life soon turns into a nagging obsession. One interrogation follows another, there is no shortage of suspects, and Yohan has more and more doubts. Only one thing is sure, the crime occurred on the night of the 12th. Dominik Moll's thrilling feature is inspired by Pauline Guéna's book "18.3. Une année à la PJ", which reconstructs a real case. Moll's film won six prizes at the 2023 César Awards, including Best Film and Best Director.

In the 1970s, the Greina, which connects Graubünden with Ticino, became famous throughout Switzerland. The architect and artist Bryan Cyril Thurston campaigned for 20 years with his art against a reservoir on this magnificent plateau. At the time, his saying "only poetry can save the Greina" seemed rather abstruse to his son. But today he finds an unexpected strength in it. Everyone wants beauty!

Keiji and Ryoichi have recently moved house and now have to find their way around their new neighborhood. No easy feat for kids. School is boring and so they prefer to skip it. What's more, they don't get on at all with the other children at first and are constantly arguing. Gradually, however, normality returns to everyday life, but there are still conflicts: the brothers are particularly shocked when they find out that their father is making a fool of himself in front of his superior. Ozu wonderfully succeeds in showing – through the eyes of children – society in Japan during the interwar period. In addition to this portrait of society, it is above all a film about childhood and childlike innocence. This silent gem is one of the most beautiful films about childhood in the big city.

Chaos has four names. Livi (Lilit Serger), Tessa (Momo Beier), Malea (Cara Vondey) and Kenny (Rona Regjepi). The sisters have nothing in common. Except for the surname Martini. Which makes each of them more than fine. Because let’s be honest: it’s not just parents who are super embarrassed – but mostly their own siblings too. And if you can’t choose your family, then you have to try to have as little to do with them as possible. But that will change soon. The reason for this is Paul. A penguin. Paul is kidnapped from the zoo and ends up in a roundabout way at the martinis. The Chaos sisters find out that a magic duo is behind the kidnapping. They want to make the penguin part of their show and thereby get their stalled career in Las Vegas going again. The sisters realize that they must stop this plan and bring the penguin back to his family at the zoo. All for one – and one or none! Now in 10 volumes, the popular book series about the four "Chaos Sisters" with a sold circulation of over 270,000 copies has been offering great entertainment for young and old for many years. The first cinema adaptation has a top-class cast with Janine Kunze, Max Giermann and Denis Moschitto.

Passion is overrated - and certainly has nothing to do with love! At least that's how Charlotte (Sandrine Kiberlain) sees it. For her, tales of passion no longer fit into the 21st century - after all, good sex is also possible without feelings. Accordingly, her first date with married family man Simon (Vincent Macaigne) ends up in her bedroom. He is completely flabbergasted – in 20 years of marriage, he has often longed for non-binding affairs, but has never met the right woman - until now. Pressure to divorce and serious feelings are not to be feared from Charlotte, who is disillusioned with relationships. The two make a pact: pleasure desired, feelings forbidden – only as long as it goes well. Because the secret lovers are not only on the same wavelength in bed, but also let all the covers down in intimate conversations, the hours they spend together become longer, the intervals between meetings shorter. Soon Charlotte and Simon have to face an uncomfortable truth: they may be done with passion, but passion is not yet done with them... About the art of infidelity, the end of passion and the true dramaturgy of love: with "Chronique d'une liaison passagère", director Emmanuel Mouret presents a language of love that couldn't be funnier, more romantic or more playful. Filled with artful situational comedy and adorned in the most beautiful colors of spring: one of the smartest and most beautiful love films in a long time.

When Werner Schäfer also comes to live next door to Daniel Berger, life takes on a more complicated nature...

This short film collection comprises five original children's films. Two of them combine live-action film with animation: in "Linard, Monti und die Musik" by Annette Carle and Karin Heberlein, well-known Swiss singer-songwriter Lindard Bardill, in search of inspiration for a new song, immerses himself in the magical mountain world of an Alpine king, with his cheeky (cuddly toy) dog at his side. Just as playful is another film by the same directing team, "Linus trifft Marius und die Jagdkapelle", in which an animated cartoon boy observes a quirky hunting band rehearsing in a forest hut and discovers various instruments. A clip animated by seven school classes in the four Swiss national languages ("Pixi Dixi") and two animated films round off the short film program: "Valise" by Isabelle Favez tells the story of clumsy bank robbers who lose their loot, and "Queen Po" by Maja Gehrig which takes place in the highly entertaining imaginary world of a girl who, before going to sleep, makes up a story about Queen Po floating far above the clouds.

Markus Imhoof has always been drawn to faraway places - both professionally and privately. Today, Markus Imhoof lives in Berlin. Whenever the filmmaker sets out to work on a new story - he always looks for the references in his own experience, often they emerge from his past or from the stories of his ancestors. In doing so, Imhoof never loses sight of the big picture, and with seemingly effortless ease he explores themes that have global relevance far beyond the borders of Switzerland. It is perhaps this skill that characterizes his long career and with which he reaches an audience that is fascinated by his unique films that start small and yet mean the whole world. Markus Imhoof is one of the most important Swiss film directors. "Das Boot ist voll" or "More than Honey" received worldwide recognition. The documentary film by Stefan Jäger pays tribute to his oeuvre and shows a work that tells more about Switzerland than one might assume at first glance.

Elisabeth, formerly a big movie star, is in her 50s and host of a Jane Fonda-style fitness show when her boss fires her. He wants to replace her with a younger, more attractive woman. But there is a solution to the problem, a liquid called The Substance, which promises to create a more youthful, beautiful and perfect doppelganger. The only condition is to share the available lifetime with your second self - one week for yourself, one week for the new version, a perfect balance of seven days each. If you follow the instructions, what could go wrong? Following her feature film debut “"Revenge", French director Coralie Fargeat's "The Substance" once again focuses on a woman who is pushed to her limits by the demands of a patriarchal society, this time with a focus on ageism and sexism in the entertainment industry. Hollywood legend Demi Moore ("G.I. Jane", "Striptease") shines in the leading role, with a superb Margaret Qualley ("Kinds of Kindness", "Poor Things") as her alter ego. A masterpiece of the body horror genre, satirical, thrilling and visually breathtaking. The film won the prize for Best Screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival.

Gisèle Ansorge (1923-1993) and Ernest, known as Nag Ansorge (1925-2013) had a lasting influence on national and international animated film with their animated films. Inspired by the work of Jiří Trnka, they began experimenting with a Super 8 camera and animated puppets. Encouraged by the festival success of "Les Corbeaux", they created ten more short films together. filmo is releasing a series of their wonderful films made between 1957 and 1991. It is a representative selection of short films from the Ansorges' entire oeuvre, which have been restored by the Cinémathèque suisse. Some of the most beautiful works are created using the sand animation technique developed by Gisèle Ansorge: In "Anima" (1977), living creatures are in constant transformation, and bodies, such as those of mother and child, also flow into one another; a bonus of the collection shows the making-of of "Anima". "Les Corbeaux" (1967) tells a fantastically gruesome fairy tale about the adventures of a horseman, while "‘Le petit garçon qui vole la lune" (1988) is a highly imaginative fable about how a boy's theft is connected to the phases of the moon. A collection of 15 works: Pam et Poum (1957) La Danseuse et le mendiant (1958) Le Pont du diable (1959) Alunissons (1965) Les Corbeaux (1967) Tempus (1969) Smile 1,2 & 3 (1975) Anima (1977) Scenes de la vie domestiques (1980) Das Veilchen (1981) Les enfants de laine (1984) Le petit garçon qui vola la lune (1988) Sabbat (1991) Bonus: Gisele ansorge au travail animation sable («Making of» Anima)

She then meets Louis (George MacKay) and feels a powerful connection, as if she had known him forever. Memorable performances from Léa Seydoux and George MacKay and time travel through three eras, imbued with a deep, existential angst make "La bête" an engaging and offbeat sci-fi film. It shows that the greatest dangers lie not in the ecological crisis or the automation of life, but in the loss of the emotional core that makes us human.
