Laura: Shadows of a Summer or (French: Laura, les ombres de l'été) is a 1979 French romantic and erotic drama film directed by photographer David Hamilton. Hamilton himself made a cameo appearance in the film. It stars a then sixteen-year-old Dawn Dunlap at the time of release, as the title character.
James Mitchell plays Paul Wyler, a successful sculptor best known for sculpting nude young girls. When he encounters an old flame, Sarah, he is so smitten by her beautiful daughter Laura that he asks Sarah if she will pose for him. Sarah, married but still jealous of the fact that her former lover is more attracted to her daughter, tells Paul that Laura is not interested, even though she is actually quite enthusiastic about doing it. As an alternative to live posing, Sarah takes photos of Laura posing nude and gives them to Paul so that he can sculpt Laura. After a fire at an art exhibit, Paul goes blind and cannot complete the sculpture. In the end, Laura, when going to say goodbye to Paul, allows him to finish his work by feeling her body and sculpting by feeling. This leads to a sexual encounter between the two, and the next morning Laura's mother comes to take her away.
Director: David Hamilton.

FR. Les vacances d'un adolescent dans un camp naturiste, en compagnie de sa mère et de jeunes gens de son âge.
EN. La Fonte des neiges (English title: Thawing out; literally The melting of the snows) is a 2009 short comedy drama film directed by Jean-Julien Chervier.
La Fonte des neiges is about a few days of a holiday when Leo, a twelve-year-old child is forced to follow his mother to a nudist camp. At first deeply shy, he responds by wearing extra clothes. After meeting Antoinette, a playful girl, Leo slowly becomes more relaxed and is revealed as a responsible and gentle person. He gets to know Antoinette better throughout the film and the discovery of his body, as well as the first feelings of love take on the appearance of a fairy tale with a hallucinogenic quality.
Nicely filmed in the hills of France, with the participation of Arte France Television and the Center of National Cinematography, and backed by the Aquitaine Region and the Department of Health, you are assured that this short film was produced under strict guidelines and regulations in order to insure that all was done in accordance to laws and proper procedure. La Fonte des Neiges has aired on French national television and has toured the French and U.S. film festivals.
La Fonte des Neiges is one of the very rare naturist-nudist based films where a good sense of responsibility is exhibited at a time when romance sets in and represents a potentially consequential proposition.

FR. Un homme en fuite court à travers les bois. En parallèle, et sans qu’ils ne se croisent jamais, une petite fille grandit et découvre la vie. Ils se rejoindront par le sang, celui de la mort et celui de la puberté. Entre chasse à l’homme et éveil sexuel, le film met en scène le croisement de ces deux errances que tout semble séparer. Entre 1968 et 1972, Marcel Hanoun réalise quatre films (« L’Été », « L’Hiver », « Le Printemps » et « L’Automne »), dans lesquels, au fil des saisons, il aborde les sujets principaux de son œuvre : l’actualité, l’identité ou le processus de création. Dans « Le Printemps », unique film pour lequel ce cinéaste anticonformiste ait reçu une avance sur recettes du CNC, il interroge la question de l’identité à travers deux êtres opposés : un homme fuyant la mort et une jeune fille espiègle, à la découverte du monde et de son corps. Michael Lonsdale, comédien audacieux, incarne cet individu traqué et témoigne une nouvelle fois de son intérêt pour un cinéma d’avant-garde.
EN. One of four Hanoun films that take their titles from the seasons of the year, SPRING tells two parallel stories: a man, fleeing the forces of order, takes refuge in the forest, while a young girl living with her grandmother in a nearby village approaches the threshold of adolescence, and begins to discover both the world and herself.

CZ. Desetiletá Fanynka je hvězdou oddílu sportovní gymnastiky, je nejlepší a dává to najevo svým spolužákům a kamarádům. Po rozchodu rodičů žije s otcem a nedokáže se smířit s tím, že její matka čeká se svým novým partnerem rodinu.
Fanynčina ambicióznost v kombinaci s rodinnými problémy způsobí, že se při závodech plně nesoustředí na výkon a způsobí si vážné zranění po pádu z bradel, které jí upoutá na invalidní vozík. Zdá se, že se jí zhroutil celý život, ale v léčebně a na venkově, u dědečka a babičky, objeví Fanynka cenu přátelství a nové životní hodnoty...
EN. Ten-year-old Fanynka is the star of the local gymnastics team. She lets her fellow pupils know that she is the best and they play her at her own game. She has a complicated relationship with her mother and lives alone with her father. Her mother left them some time ago, remarried and is now pregnant. Fanynka finds this hard to accept and as a result is unable to concentrate on gymnastics. A serious injury from a fall shifts her out of the limelight and leaves her in a wheelchair. She grapples with the consequences of her injury but, above all, tries to gain the trust of people who are close to her.

SE. Trakterna kring Tullingesjön utanför Stockholm. Några barackliknande hyreshus vid sjön har i folkmun fått namnet Seppan efter den närbelägna fabriken Separator AB (senare Alfa-Laval), där de flesta av familjefäderna i husen arbetar. Nästan alla familjerna i Seppan är invandrare: finnar, ryssar, österrikare, polacker. I närheten ligger också lite mer ståtliga disponentvillor där de svenska fabrikscheferna bor.
Vintern 1961. Svenska Sara, som bor i en av disponentvillorna, och finska Pirjo, som bor i Seppan, är trots klasskillnaderna bästa kompisar. Deras föräldrar tycks vara varandras motsatser. Saras mamma är kylig och förbjudande, och Sara söker sig till fadern för kärlek. Pirjos pappa, en veteran från finska vinterkriget, är däremot lynnig och våldsam, i synnerhet när han blir full.
Pirjo uppvaktas blygt av klasskamraten Seppo, som vägrar läsa morgonbön och prata annat än finska i skolan...
EN. It is 1961, and Sweden has become a haven for refugees fleeing the Iron Curtain. In this story, a boardinghouse has become a kind of international way-station, with families from Estonia, Latvia, Hungary, Finland, Russia, Poland and Hungary. It is also a place where passions run high, fueled by love affairs, political disagreements, and rivalries of all kinds. All the same, this dreary building and its environs are the only home the children of these foreigners know, and they cope with their chaotic circumstances better than their parents do. Despite this, there are tragedies among them, too.

ES. Durante dos años el cineasta Juan Rayos documenta el proceso de diálogos, batallas, ensayos y viajes, que comienza de puntillas, buscándose a sí mismo, y acaba convirtiéndose en "Materia Prima". Una creación escénica de la compañía La tristura, que transforma la mirada de cuatro niños y que acaba llevándolos de gira por España, Francia o Brasil. "Los Primeros Días" es una película sobre esos cuatro rostros, sobre la fugacidad de su belleza, sobre ese momento de la vida en el que pensar, hablar y arder son una misma cosa.

Over a two-year period, the Spanish filmmaker Juan Rayos documented a series of dialogues, battles, rehearsals and travels, a process that starts with bubbling and ends up turning into Materia Prima, a theater piece by the company La Tristura which transforms the perception of four kids and takes them on a tour around Spain, Brazil and Poland. Los Primeros Días is a film about four faces, their fleeting beauty and about that moment in life in which thinking, talking and burning are all the same thing.

CZ. Poměrně dramatické a smutné léto vylepší dovolená.
A tak se nejen Honzík ale i Karel s Evou podívají poprvé k moři! Cílem se má stát německý Prerov, a tak Josef, ač s těžkým srdcem, půjčuje Karlovi svého čtyřkolého miláčka, milované embéčko. Na cestě rodinka potkává rodinu Kohoutkových, kteří si Dvořákovy vyloženě oblíbí a „pronásledují" je potom na každém kroku. Karla s Evou to navzdory mírné krizi vztahu spojuje a vypadá to, že dovolená všem vyloženě prospívá, i když ani v Německu není o zajímavé situace nouze, třeba Karlův a Evin první pobyt na FKK nebo věčná snaha zbavit se přízně Kohoutkovic rodinky. Doma zatím Josef trne, zda se s jeho embéčkem v zahraničí nic nestalo, a kvůli tomu napětí se v noci stává náměsíčným. Nejprve si to nechce přiznat, poté zkouší všechny osvědčené tipy kolegů z práce, ale nakonec mu nezbyde, než navštívit psychologa... Po návratu z dovolené to vypadá na rodinnou idylku, ale v noci zvoní u bytu Dvořákových zvonek. Za dveřmi stojí zbitá a vyděšená Karlova sestřenice Renata...

A true masterpiece of Czechoslovak cinema!
CZ. Valerie a týden divů je československý surrealistický horor, který natočil v roce 1970 Jaromil Jireš podle stejnojmenné prózy Vitězslava Nezvala z roku 1935. Předloha je ovlivněna surrealismem a pohrává si s motivy z pohádek i z pokleslé hororové četby. Využívá logiku snu, v níž neplatí kauzalita a postavy libovolně mění svoji identitu. Leitmotivem je dospívání mladé dívky, která objevuje tajemství sexuality a bouří se proti represivním institucím jako rodina nebo církev.
Filmové zpracování je výrazně stylizovanou podívanou, využívající secesní dekorace i atmosféru vesnických poutí s jejich panoptiky. Nezvyklou působivost podtrhuje scéna Ester Krumbachové, kamera Jana Čuříka a hudba Luboše Fišera. V titulní roli debutovala Jaroslava Schallerová. Film se natáčel ve Slavonicích.
Příběh se odehrává během léta ve starobylém městečku, kde žije Valerie se svou přísnou babičkou. Přijíždějí komedianti, mezi nimiž je netvor zvaný Tchoř a jeho syn Orlík. Valerii pronásledují vidiny, v nichž vystupuje babička jako upírka, která se proměňuje v mladou přitažlivou ženu. Zároveň se Valerie dovídá, že Tchoř je její otec, takže Orlík, který se jí dvoří, je vlastně její bratr (incestní motiv). Objevuje se také přítelkyně a zasvětitelka Hedvika, mladá žena, která se má provdat za bohatého statkáře, a perverzní kněz Gracián, který se Valerii pokusí znásilnit a když neuspěje, chce ji upálit jako čarodějnici. Nakonec Valerie díky své nevinnosti ze všech nástrah vyvázne a pozná své skutečné rodiče.
EN. Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (Czech: Valerie a týden divů) is a 1970 Czechoslovak surrealist fantasy horror film directed by Jaromil Jireš, based on the 1935 novel of the same name by Vítězslav Nezval. It is considered part of the Czechoslovak New Wave movement. The film portrays the heroine as living in a disorienting dream, cajoled by priests, vampires, and men and women alike. The film blends elements of the fantasy and gothic horror film genres.
A thief awakens Valerie, just 13, taking earrings left to her by her mother. By morning, the earrings have been returned, Valerie's first period has begun, and a troupe and a missionary have arrived in her Medieval town. The thief is Orick; he reports to a cloaked constable who may also be the missionary. Attention to sexuality is everywhere: Valerie's grandmother's puritanical nature, the missionary's sermon to the town's virgins, the parish priest's attempt to seduce Valerie, and lusty adults at play. Valerie's nascent sexuality puts her in great danger. Can she navigate the passage from innocence to experience, a route teaming with vampires, a murderer, and an obscure family tree?

Savanyú komolyan udvarol Julinak, már az eljegyzést is megtartották, de nincs hely az intimebb jellegű találkozásokhoz. Illegálisan elfoglalnak tehát egy romos lakást, de a rendőrség elzavarja őket.
Az Ifjúsági Park egyik koncertjén Juli megismerkedik a zenész Gézával, majd a zenekarral vidékre utaznak. Savanyú és barátai utánuk mennek, a riválisok között verekedés tör ki. Juli választás elé kényszerül.
EN. Savanyú and his friends work at a plant. After the monotonous shifts they engage in the pleasures of the afternoon and the night: Sex, parties and concerts. Savanyú dates Juli, who works in workers' hostels with the other girls. They are already engaged, but have almost no time to spend together. At a concert held in the Park of Youth, Juli gets to know Géza. They flirt and eventually travel through the country with a pop-group. Savanyú goes after them and catches up with Géza and the pop-group. A minor fight cools the atmosphere. Juli must decide, and her choice is Savanyú. Nothing can stop the wedding now.

On the Green Carpet is a 2001 North Korean film directed by Rim Chang-bom. The film's title refers to the turf of the stadium which hosts the May Day mass games in Pyongyang.
The film is a romantic comedy, which involves a coach who is preparing a group of schoolchildren for the May Day mass games, and a former colleague who has now become his superior. She feels that he is being too demanding of his young performers, as the show he has devised requires a series of multiple somersaults. However, the children are willing to work as hard as necessary to please their leader, Kim Jong-il, and the film culminates in a lavish display of their abilities.
Everyday life in North Korea is presented as being pleasant and trouble-free, with no evidence of reported food shortages and an emphasis on the people's devotion to the "Dear Leader".
Was the first North Korean film to be invited to the Berlin International Film Festival, where it was screened in 2004 as a special one-off event.

A young girl on the brink of puberty wakes up one morning to find that her pet dog had escaped, leaving her with a wound in her vagina. Thinking her dog had bitten her, she sets out to find traces of it, despite the persistence of her best friend to just let it go. Confused and distraught about her body and what the blood entails, she tries to make sense of herself and her tireless longing. She digs deep into her own flowery crevices to understand - clawing and howling.
