other title: 专家:一个现代罪犯的肖像 / Un spécialiste, portrait d'un criminel moderne
The incredible trial of a frighteningly ordinary civil servant. Inspired by Hannah Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem: Α Report on the Banality of Evil and drawing entirely on the 350 hours of rare footage recorded during the trial of Adolf Eichmann in 1961 in Jerusalem, this film about obedience and responsibility is the portrait of an expert in problem resolving; a man responsible for the elimination of several million people; a modern criminal.

Izkor: Slaves of Memory
director: Eyal Sivan
other title: Izkor, les esclaves de la mémoire / Izkor – Sklaven der Erinnerung
Izkor is about the orchestration of memory. The film shows how school children of all ages in Israel are taught to pay tribute to their nation's past. It keenly observes how some memories are even physically conditioned into the future generations. "One of the most truly, most intelligent, most terrible and sharpest films about Israeli society. A film on memory and politics: this is the way that Israeli society exploits its myths to train people to have no doubts or remorse, creating the soldiers of the future wars." (Tom Segev - Haaretz)

Route 181: Fragments of a Journey in Palestine-Israel
other title: 虚拟公路181(台) / 181号公路:巴以之旅的片段
Route 181, offers an unusual vision of the inhabitants of Palestine-Israel, a common vision of an Israeli and a Palestinian.
In the summer of 2002, for two long months, Eyal Sivan and Michel Khleifi travelled together from the south to the north of their country of birth, traced their trajectory on a map and called it Route 181. This virtual line follows the borders outlined in Resolution 181, which was adopted by the United Nations on November 29th 1947 to partition Palestine into two states.
As they travel along this route, they meet women and men, Israeli and Palestinian, young and old, civilians and soldiers, filming them in their everyday lives. Each of these characters has their own way of evoking the frontiers that separate them from their neighbours: concrete, barbed-wire, cynicism, humour, indifference, suspicion, aggression…Frontiers have been built on the hills and in the plains, on mountains and in valleys but above all inside the minds and souls of these two peoples and in the collective unconscious of both societies.
Route 181, Fragments of a Journey in Palestine-Israel, takes us on a disorientating journey across this tiny territory with vast ramifications.

Pour l'amour du peuple
director: Eyal Sivan / Audrey Maurion actor: Axel Prahl
other title: 为人民服务 / Pour l'amour du peuple
A film on the surveillance and the control in East Germany also speaks about it - representing extreme and almost unbelievable image of a society which has acquired one super-narrative and developed a system which makes it impossible to even speak about the possibility of anything outside it.
