ZOOPER TROOPERS
Synopsis: James Bond meets Animal Planet in a show where action and comedy combine to tell the adventures of a team of outlandish animal spies sent to the concrete jungle to fight some mutant ex-pets planning to take over the World.
SPEET a versatile Chameleon, BONGO a harebrained Tapir and HUGO a temperamental Piranha are permanent residents of Gray City’s Metropolitan Zoo. But behind this cover hide three fearsome – and zany- agents of the RFSMC (Rain Forest Special Missions Corps).
During their adventures, the team will have to deal with the most fierce foes, such as: EMPEROR ROACH (a wicked insect with the astuteness of an ancient ruler, and a realy huge army), TITUS the Evil Guinea Pig 9after been used to test a new hair tonic he mutated into half mad scientists and half fashion guru) MATT “Moustaches” Malone (a former wrestler, current Mayor of Gray City and masked vigilante at nights) … and many more.

COSMO & KARLO
Synopsis: The world is not big enough for these three characters who can’t help to see life through glasses of totally different colors. Cosmo is a tall, clumsy and relaxed lighthearted character that always sees the glass half full.
KARLO is an hyperkinetic, hypochondriac and obsessive short evil being, that doesn’t see “the glass” at all.
GATO is the biopolar opportunist cat. He spills the glass when nobody see him and hides behind COSMO every time KARLO tries to toss him out of the window.
So imagine their everyday struggle for survival when they are forced to live under the same roof in a small apartment where everything is constsantly breaking or falling apart. Add any given task to this equation (from watering the plants, to fixing the stove, from opening a bottle to painting a door), and you’ll see how fast and big the mess can get.
However, there is one little thing that these two do have in common-besides a very bad breath problem: They really love the German expressionist Cinema. And it shows.

2012: THE DOCUMENTARY
Synopsis: December 21, 2012: the end date of the sophisticated Long Count Calendar created by the ancient Maya in Central America. Countless books and websites, magazine articles and newspaper headlines debate its meaning, with enthusiasts in two camps: those forecasting apocalypse–the end of time– and those who see a coming renewal, a rebirth of consciousness.
Adding fuel to the debate, some scientists see the increasing number of natural disasters in recent years as evidence of a catastrophic climax of events in 2012. How much of what we're hearing is science and how much is superstition? In this film the leading researchers, writers and scientists in the field tell us exactly what this date means to them, why it's important, and what we should expect.
