The Circle is a documentary about the Large Hadron Collider. The LHC is a gigantic scientific instrument near Geneva, where it spans the border between Switzerland and France about 100m underground. It is a 27km particle accelerator used by physicists to study the origin of everything. Results and interpretation of the collisions of particles will revolutionize our understanding of the Universe and how it began. The Circle leaves the scientific aspect of the experiment and makes a journey above the ground. We follow the 27km circle in an existential search for local people with an opinion about what's happening below.
For centuries the inhabitants of the Icelandic village Vík í Mýrdal maintained a mystique relationship with the nearby volcano 'Katla'.

Ceres is a poetic yet realistic documentary that follows four children as they experience the natural cycle of life on a farm.

They each dream that one day they will take over the farms of their father or grandfather.
In the late 1980s, thousands of Belgians began reporting strange sightings in the skies over their otherwise stable country: large triangular unidentifiable flying objects. Nobody knew for sure what they were. To solve the mystery, a civil investigation group started working together with the authorities, counting on the support of the gendarmerie and the Belgian Air Force. Thirty years later, the Belgian UFO wave still lives in the minds of witnesses and onlookers from the era, some of whom are still searching for answers today. What on earth was going on in the skies over Belgium?
