Festival Director Sandra den Hamer: "La antena is one of next season's most lovingly crafted and strikingly original films. In addition, as an engaging statement against the power of mass media and its cult of recycling, it is the perfect Opening Night Film for the Rotterdam Film Festival that aims to support diversity and originality." An enchanting allegory about the power of media and television, La Antena (The Antenna) is set in a surrealistic, snow covered city ruled by Mr. TV. The dictator controls all spoken word, which he uses for broadcasts as well as for food production. It has left the inhabitants speechless and dependent. Only La Voz, a female singer, escapes the rule of Mr. TV. She and her young son are the only persons able to speak. A man, his father and his young daughter join forces with La Voz in an attempt to overthrow the power of Mr. TV. La antena, shot entirely in black-and-white, refers in style to silent cinema but also uses many graphical, digital and animated special effects.

Siz friends , talent less and unfit, form a seven-a-side football team. They call themselves Brazil. They plan to play soccer until they win. This is a comedy of delusion, of the survival of the unfittest in the face of humiliation and inevitable defeat. On and off the pitch their movements are the same – shuffling, stumbling then staggering, the pratfalls of endearing losers. Their most formidable opponents, of course, are the women they love but can’t stand – demanding wives and girlfriends. Sexual adventures give way to prosaic thirty-something coupledom.

Sabina Guzzanti's ferociously funny documentary deals with her own ill-fated television show, RAIot, which aired on RAI, the Italian public television service. The show featured comedy sketches in which Guzzanti, a brilliant clown, mimic, and physical comedienne, skewered the current Italian administration, and, most wickedly, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. When Italian comedienne Guzzanti's satirical TV show was canceled after Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's media corporation filed a 20-million-euro lawsuit, she got serious, sort of. Following in the footsteps of Michael Moore, but far more talented at imitating her target, Guzzanti exposes the seedy underbelly of Berlusconi's right-wing regime in this viciously funny documentary.

Fateless is a deeply moving tale of a Hungarian Jewish boy and his quest for the meaning of his past. It screened in Official Selection at Berlin, 2005. Based on the 2002 Nobel prize-winning novel by Imre Kertesz, Fateless chronicles the attempts of 14-year-old Gyuri Koves to reconcile the unimaginable horror of having been incarcerated in German concentration camps. On his return to Budapest Gyuri finds those around him treat him with indifference. His friends and neighbours encourage him to put the past behind him, while an intellectual sympathetic to the personal and political terror of his past repeatedly refers to the camps as "the lowest circle of Hell". Gyuri finds neither comfort nor meaning in these clichés.
