Documentary exploring what life was like for classical musicians in
the German Democratic Republic (GDR) after the division of Germany
in 1945. Used to advertise the merits of the GDR, classical music
was portrayed by the authorities as representative of a
culture-loving working people, in direct contrast to the
'decadent', westernised pop music of the day. Those musicians who
were not only gifted but also displayed the correct ideological
values were able to enjoy privileges beyond the reach of the
masses. Through interviews with musicians active at the time, both
in the GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany (FDR), the film
compares and contrasts the lives of those involved, and provides an
insight into the way the political system influenced artistic life.

Documentary from film maker Agnès Varda examining the lives of
those who live 'off the grid' in France. Gleaning is the act of
gathering the leftovers from a harvest after the main, profitable
crop has been taken away by the farmer. As well as examining the
lives of actual gleaners, who subsist from the remnants of modern
agriculture, Varda extends the metaphor to enquire about those who
live by more modern forms of gleaning. Varda meets people who mine
household and commercial waste for a living, a man who has lived
almost completely on discarded food for over a decade despite
having a job and several other intriguing characters. The picture
that emerges is of an alternative form of life to throwaway,
consumerist culture and a value system based on essentials rather
than excess.
