When this film's director was still a boy, he stood in front of "Flotel Europa" and was hugely excited about the prospect of this gigantic ship moored in the port of Copenhagen becoming a new home for him, his mother and his older brother. Together with about 1000 other refugees from the former Yugoslavia, they started life anew on the ship. Like many families did in the early 90s, they used to send video messages on VHS to the father, who had stayed back home: footage of the communal kitchen, the windowless cabin, the TV room, excursions made with cool new friends, a dance performance by the unattainable Melisa. Director Vladimir Tomic could have just used this material to illustrate a lost childhood and the squalor of refugee life, but by editing it together and drawing on his memories of that time, he succeeds in creating something new, something of his own, something special. The shift in perspective from internal to external turns "Flotel Europa" in an autobiographical film about a difficult lot, which is all the more touching because it liberates the refugee from the role of the victim - and transforms a shy young man into a lovable film star.

In 1974, Texans Mark and Andy Godfrey, aged 11 and 8 respectively, went on a family ski vacation to Aspen, CO. The plane they were traveling on crashed in the mountains taking the lives of their parents and brother and sister. The Godfrey project is a documentary film that explores the events of the crash as well as how it affected Mark and Andy for the the rest of their lives. It's about resilience, courage, perseverance and discovery. It's ultimately a film about how the twin beacons of love and family can help overcome even the greatest of losses.
