10.00-12.00 / "Inferno", 113 min, Slovenia
Director: Vinko Moderndorfer
The film focuses on a young unemployed working‑class family and their everyday struggle for survival. The family is like any ordinary European family, trying to make a living with the work of their hands. Due to the global economic crisis their life ends up in a blind alley. Everything looks as if there is no way out. Those individuals cannot fight against injustice, misery, the unseen authority of the capital... However... Granite cubes, torn out of streets, are waiting... Have waited... For centuries. Inferno exists. But only temporarily.

14.00-16.00 / "Equals", 116 min, Serbia
Director: Miloš Petričić, Dejan Karaklajić, Mladen Đorđevic, Igor Stoimenov, Darko Lungulov, Ivica Vidanović
Omnibus "Equals" is comprised of six individual stories of children growing up in harsh circumstances, robbed of their right to a carefree childhood. They fight to survive in different ways. While some of them battle poverty in the streets, becoming juvenile delinquents or victims of human trafficking, others face daily discrimination, abuse in their families or lack of access to treatment or cure for their ailments. These little heroes cross paths, in bizarre ways, with adults who are charged with their care, whether as parents or teachers, but also those who just happen upon them during their daily grind, or in crucial moments in their own life stories.

15.00-16.45 / "The Piano Room", 103 min, Macedonia
Director: Igor Ivanov
A run-down hotel room, a piano, a maid and the guests who stay there. Life begins, life ends, and lives are changed forever in the piano room.
The Piano Room is a fable about the destinies of the guests who stay in the room with the piano in the hotel that is up for sale. This room, that hides them from the hypocrisy of the world outside, is the only place where they can find some kind of fulfillment. Although far from similar, as representatives of completely different social and cultural groups, all share emptiness in their life. As the years pass like revolving doors, motives become frustrations, ambition and fantasy lead to ruin. Only the Maid, oblivious to the thwarted dreams that check in and out, seems to move forward.

After two years spent as a student in Boston, a 22-year-old visits his native Moldova. It is April 2009. People gather in the streets of Chisinau, the call having spread through social networking sites. They are demonstrating against the communist authorities who falsified the election results. They seize and plunder the parliament and presidential buildings. The demonstrators carry away documents, furniture and office equipment. Our protagonist is coming from a friend's home carrying his own computer monitor. He is mistaken for a demonstrator, brutally beaten up by the police and taken to the police station. His interrogator is an experienced major. The authorities can do anything. Based on real events, the film asks questions about freedom, justice and the price of human life.
