- "Forførerens Fald" (The Fall of the Seducer), is a film about the legendary Danish newspaper "Dagen" and its fatal crack in 2002. For the first time in Danish medias, the man behind "Dagen", - the mysterious and charming Danish developer genius, - Peter Linck, - tells his incredible story of how he seduced all the sharpest journalists in the entire country to leave their tops jobs to work for him, and how this high flying and extremely extravagant newspaper adventure ended in a nightmare for everybody involved with a debt of 70 million Kroner. The film uses a ground-braking new way of mixing fiction scenes with documentary material, making the involved persons act themselves in precise reconstructions of the real events. This way the film follows Linck's personal crisis with his family and friends, as his legendary self assurance and charm gradually breaks down totally. It's the story of choosing between career or family, - about putting everything at stake for your life dream, - the story of how to rise again after hitting the bottom of your life.

It's all sad and gray - but Benjamin's wild imagination gives color to a bearded and crooked contemporary version of the Christmas Gospel itself. Three spritzers are, for example, very wise men, a pregnant woman named Marie, etc. But the fact that the film is also about our time is evidenced by street fights between brutal police officers and Santa Clauses. The latter find it difficult to get through with the message that "Christmas is the feast of the heart".
- Revenge gives a new meaning.
- The theater group Solvognen's famous epic about an army of Santa Clauses arriving in Copenhagen from the North only to realize that they must fight the capitalist society and exploitation.
- In continuation of the time trial sequence from Stars and Watercarriers, The Impossible Hour is a concentrated study of Ole Ritter's attempt in Mexico City in 1974 to set a new record for the hour - described in the film as "the noblest, most difficult record that can be set on a bicycle". A brief retrospective in black and white sets the historical framework, with shots of Ritter and Eddy Merckx' successful record attempts in 1968 and 1972 respectively, and a few words about former record holders such as Fausto Coppi. From then on the film is in colour and with one minor exception (a training scene from a motor race track) it takes place in the relatively colourless setting of a cycle track. The film follows Ritter's three record attempts chronologically, which, accompanied by a Mexican marching band on the bandstand, all fail. There are several interview situations in hand-held reportage style in which Ritter is surrounded by a group of reporters and gives his account of the attempts, plus other shots from the inner circle of the cycle track. When Ritter is riding he is captured from a motorcycle moving round the track or we follow him (during the record attempts) in long pans all the way round the track. The only notable visual device is the slow motion used to accentuate Ritter's style in a couple of places, accompanied by a piano theme, with Leth's words on the soundtrack: "The functional mastery of power is an aesthetic experience". Throughout the film Leth talks soberly and informatively about cycling technique, the advantages of the thin air in Mexico City, Ritter's gradual acquisition of his average speed and rhythm, the progress of the record attempts, etc.

- Emilio Kozhikow, Milos Karoli and Franz Josef Czardas have in common that they are Gipsies and that they have survived the extermination camps of the Nazis during World War 2. Quietly and movingly they tell about the incredible sufferings and inhuman conditions. And about bestial executions. But also about will and strength. With many stills from the concentration camps and an example from a short Czech fiction film, the film moves from the personal element into the general one, becomes a requiem on the fate of a whole nation and comments on the conditions of the Gipsies today.
- The young Danish band 'The William Blakes' have made it into something of a dogma to record their albums in no time and under the dictate of certain, changing rules in a house in Bösebo in Sweden, 300 km from Copenhagen. The same is true for their latest record 'The Way of the Warrior', which took nine days to 'invent', helped by the rule that for each time somebody said 'no', one should say 'yes'. The film follows the band during these nine days and portrays four witty guys and their both thought-provoking and funny musical discussions, embellished in a melancholy winter atmosphere. The record was awarded the prize as the best rock album of the year in Denmark.
