Søndagsengler / The Other Side of Sunday. 1996.

EN. This movie is based on a contemporary children's book, not the usual Grimm Brothers stock. Hans Röckle is a puppeteer, inventor, blacksmith and more. He is challenged by the Devil (in almost a dozen fancy costumes) who offers him even more inventiveness, against his soul should he ever make money with an invention, build something twice, or cease inventing for 7*7 hours.
DE. Defa-Märchenfilm über einen Puppenspieler und fantasievollen Erfinder namens Röckle, der eines Tages unheimlichen Besuch bekommt. Der Teufel Flammfuß erscheint in seiner Werkstatt und macht Röckle ein verlockendes Angebot: Flammfuß will ihm magische Kräfte verleihen – doch wenn es Röckle nicht gelingen sollte, dieses Geschenk zu nutzen, um binnen sieben mal sieben Stunden etwas Neuartiges zu erfinden, gehört seine Seele dem Teufel.
Röckle lässt sich auf den Pakt ein und nutzt die Chance, Dinge zu erschaffen, die den Menschen helfen und das Leben erleichtern. So erfindet er für eine Näherin eine Nadel, die von alleine näht und für einen Bauern eine Flöte, mit der sich Regen herbeispielen lässt. Allerdings zeigt sich schon bald, dass diese wunderbaren Erfindungen den Menschen nicht nur Segen bringen: So kürzt etwa der Manufaktur-Besitzer den Näherinnen die Löhne, während der Großgrundbesitzer dem Bauer die Flöte nimmt, um mit ihrer Zauberkraft seine eigenen Böden zu bewässern. Schließlich findet Röckle einen Ausweg: Mit Hilfe eines neu erfundenen Fernrohrs schaut er in die Zukunft – und erkennt, dass seine magischen Objekte dort am besten aufgehoben sind. Mit seinen neuen Zauberstiefeln macht er sich am Ende auf den Weg dorthin.

5 most interesting films presented below.

1. Adoration.
A young man films his love for a young woman.
"Adoration" is loosely based on Issei Sagawa's cannibalistic murder case. In 1981 he murdered and cannibalized a Dutch woman named Renée Hartevelt. After his release Sagawa has become a minor celebrity in Japan and has made a living through the public interest on his crime. A young Japanese man invites beautiful French student to his apartment. She reads some poetry. Suddenly he shoots her in the back, dismembers her body and cannibalizes her tasty flesh. Experimental and gruesome short which looks almost like a true crime documentary. The use of silence and master shots certainly enhances truly chilling atmosphere of gloom.
Cast: Takashi Matsuo, Catherine Aymerie.

2. Point De Fuite.
A new teacher comes to class to teach a lesson on a complicated math theorem. The class is waiting completely nude and catches her off guard. She takes off her clothes before the beginning of her lesson. During the lesson, the students put their clothes back on and take away her clothes, as she is concentrated solely on the theorem. Upon finishing, she is embarrassed that they are clothed and she is left naked, but there is now someone at the door. The class ask the unknown to come in, and they find a naked teacher but clothed students. Inspired by a mathematical rhetoric.
