- DirectorSimon Lereng WilmontStarsOleg AfanasyevAlexandra RyabichkinaJarikTHE DISTANT BARKING OF DOGS is set in Eastern Ukraine on the frontline of the war. The film follows the life of 10-year-old Ukrainian boy Oleg throughout a year, witnessing the gradual erosion of his innocence beneath the pressures of war. Oleg lives with his beloved grandmother, Alexandra, in the small village of Hnutove. Having no other place to go, Oleg and Alexandra stay and watch as others leave the village. Life becomes increasingly difficult with each passing day, and the war offers no end in sight. In this now half-deserted village where Oleg and Alexandra are the only true constants in each other's lives, the film shows just how fragile, but crucial, close relationships are for survival. Through Oleg's perspective, the film examines what it means to grow up in a war zone. It portrays how a child's universal struggle to discover what the world is about grows interlaced with all the dangers and challenges the war presents. Thus, THE DISTANT BARKING OF DOGS unveils the consequences of war bearing down on the children in Eastern Ukraine, and by natural extension, the scars and self-taught life lessons this generation will carry with them into the future.

- DirectorThomas RothStarsHarald KrassnitzerAdele NeuhauserRoland DüringerManfred Gabler is found dead at the bottom of a staircase. Numerous injuries indicate that he cannot simply have fallen, but was severely abused in a hopeless fight before his death. For Moritz Eisner and Bibi Fellner, there are only very few immediately usable traces around the place where the body was found. Nevertheless, some peculiarities are noticeable from the beginning: Manfred Gabler was a Catholic priest, he had remarkably few social contacts - and strangely enough an amulet with the Satanic symbol with him. A possible reason for this is soon found: Prelate Gabler was active on a special mission, he was one of the few priests in the so-called deliverance service, which still exists in many countries and dioceses - Gabler was what is commonly called an exorcist. Shortly before his death, as Eisner and Fellner soon find out, he had an appointment with an unknown person "N" - possibly an important witness. But nobody can tell the two who this person is, nobody knows a name or an address. Moritz and Bibi take a closer look at the dead man's surroundings. Gabler's successor in office did not always agree with his methods, a somewhat eccentric scientist is interested in data that Gabler is said to have possessed, the psychiatrist who regularly examined Gabler's clients is deliberately taciturn, and what role does a former pimp play in this case? And above all: Where is the motive for a murder?
