Endlich fliegen The dreams of young Andrea. The camera accompanies the seven-year-old girl in 1976 when she was at school dressed up and singing as a flying butterfly. Later, at the age of 17, she wanted to be "free" from her parents and tried to realize her dream as a dancer at a ballet school in Leipzig, but quickly failed and gave up. From then on, she works as a waitress in a restaurant because she is around people and feels comfortable there. She meets new people outside of her parental home, learns to discuss and represent other opinions. Her boyfriend accompanies her on her new path, but she can rarely see him as he works in another big city, which in turn leads to problems. The life of Andrea, now 19 years old, is portrayed here with excerpts from the film "Butterflies" and shows us what happened to Andrea's dreams of "flying and being free".

Nasseredin Shah and His ... In 1842 the 11 year-old heir to the Persian throne, Nasseredin Mirza, received a photographic camera from Queen Victoria of England. In the following decades he documented his life, revealing to the public eye, what the public eye never was supposed to see.

Incontrare Picasso Half a century after his documentary on Picasso, which was cut into various short films in Italy in order to distribute it more easily, Emmer returns to his own material to re-appropriate it and transform it: it would no longer be the asymmetric tale of an anonymous filmmaker who observes the genius painter in amazement, but a work created in complicity between the two authors reflecting on their two expressive means. It is half a tale that finally takes on the form sought by Emmer (the tale of a pigeon between two wars), and half a processual film in which we see Picasso create a mural that only exists in this film. Incontrare Picasso (Meeting Picasso) with the voice-over in the first person points towards the full expository and discursive authorship of Emmer’s two main essays: Bella di notte and Con aura…senz'aura.
