Diagnonsense - Ane-Martha Tamnes Hansgård (Norway)
This is Norwegian director Ane-Martha Tamnes Hansgård’s self-reflective documentary about her experience of being diagnosed with several mental disorders over a 15-year period. A fragmented coming-of-age tale, it takes a “meta” approach towards her many failed attempts at making such a film while being reliant on the mental-health system. CAT&Docs has already picked up the international rights for this production by Norway's Mattima Films AS, which is expected to be completed in January 2022.

A co-production between Serbia's Dribbling Pictures, France's Survivance, Croatia's Restart and Montenegro's Kino, it should be completed this coming September.
The Pawnshop - Łukasz Kowalski (Poland)
Polish director Łukasz Kowalski's lively The Pawnshop follows Jola and Wiesiek, a couple of colourful entrepreneurs who run the biggest pawnshop in Poland. As the harsh winter takes hold of the neighbourhood and the money runs dry, their love begins to falter. To save the business and themselves, they decide to organise a grand spring sale.

Untitled Turkey Project - Maria Binder (Germany)
German filmmaker Maria Binder's still Untitled Turkey Project profiles a Turkish lawyer and human rights defender who has been a key player in the fight for women’s and LGBT rights, taking a stand against torture and sexual violence. This has made her a target, and she has been attacked and imprisoned several times by the regime. With dozens of indictments adding up to a lifelong stretch in prison, she wakes up every morning without knowing whether this is her last day of freedom. The film is a production by Germany's Film Five and will be ready for release this April.

fiche film] - Farah Kassem (Lebanon/Denmark)
For her first feature-length documentary, We Are Inside, Farah Kassem returns to her crisis-stricken hometown of Tripoli after more than a decade to stay with her widowed, ageing father, Mustapha. They constantly fight, as his only wish is for her to adapt to the city’s prevailing conservative identity. But she finds an opening to reach out to her father: Mustapha’s weekly all-male poetry club. The film is a co-production between Lebanon's Road2Films, Denmark's Good Company Pictures and Al Jazeera Documentary Channel, and is expected to be ready for release in January 2022.
