biography:
Mikhaïl Sergueïevitch Gorbatchev, né le 2 mars 1931 à Privolnoïe dans l'actuel kraï de Stavropol, est un homme d'État soviétique et russe qui dirigea l'URSS entre 1985 et 1991.

Résolument réformateur, il s'engagea à l'extérieur vers la fin de la guerre froide, et lança à l'intérieur la libéralisation économique, culturelle et politique connue sous les noms de perestroïka et de glasnost. Impuissant à maîtriser les évolutions qu'il avait lui-même enclenchées, sa démission marqua le point final de la dislocation de l'URSS, précédée de deux ans par l'effondrement des régimes communistes en Europe de l'Est.

title: In the Grip of Gazprom

overview: The war in the Ukraine has changed the way many European countries view Russian politics. Suddenly it became clear how dependent countries had become on Russian gas imports for decades and what Vladimir Putin was up to. However, no country needs more gas than Germany. It was only after Russia's invasion of the Ukraine that the German government realized that Russia had long used gas as a weapon to impose its will on states. The instrument created for this purpose is the natural gas production company GAZPROM. So how did Germany become so dependent on Russian gas? The documentary shows how, over several decades and several changes of government, a broad alliance of politicians and business representatives did everything possible to secure Germany's energy supply with cheap Russian gas, while the Kremlin's foreign policy became increasingly aggressive and the warnings of experts went unheeded.

overview: In this compact, off-kilter vignette, a lone researcher conducts a small-scale “experiment” whose procedures slide quietly from the scientific to the absurd. Confined to a minimal setting, his deadpan actions and seemingly methodical gestures generate a cool, understated comedic tension. Kiyoshi Kurosawa appears as the white-coated experimenter, and his impassive presence anchors the short’s blend of observational humor and controlled unpredictability.

title: Chicago Calling

overview: Bill Cannon (Dan Duryea) loses everything to alcohol: his job, his family, his self-respect. Soon after his wife and daughter leave him, he receives word his little girl has been injured in a car accident outside Chicago.
