- 13 July: “Clowns,” a reflective film about the lives of Oskar, Max and Victor, who were once, back in the days of communism, at the height of their popularity. Their antics amused the young and many older people, while their sense of humor appealed to most of the audience. Unfortunately, their careers collapsed as a result of a foolish quarrel. The men let their pride get the better of them and turned away from one another, wasting their chance for further development.
- 20 July: the Finnish comedy “The Old Man and the Gun,” a story about an older, grumpy man who lives in the past and believes that everything used to be better.
- 27 July: “The Lesson,” a film that unsentimentally portrays the fine line between moral principles and brutal economic reality. In a school in a small Bulgarian town, a young teacher named Nadezhda works. She is shocked when she discovers one day that there is a thief in her class. From then on, she tries at all costs to find out who it is, so that she can teach him a lesson about the difference between doing good and doing evil. She wants to teach him how to choose the right solutions in life and reject those that are morally questionable. Soon, however, when a creditor demands that she repay a debt quickly, she herself will face a similar dilemma. How will she resolve questions of morality when her perspective changes?
