Films range from Taiwanese and Japanese classics from the 1980s and 1990s to current French, Spanish and Italian cinema. Two British documentaries are also on offer, as well as a number of New Zealand films.

The season finishes with two films that are widely regarded as the best films to be made in the GDR (East Germany).
