梵蒂岡，座落在義大利的「國中國」，為世界領土面積最小的國家，卻是世界六分之一人口、十二億人的信仰中心。2013年3月13日，梵蒂岡宣布阿根廷的樞機豪赫・馬利歐・貝果格利歐當選教宗，聖號「方濟各（Pope Francis）」。他是天主教史上第一位來自美洲與南半球的教宗，以及首位耶穌會出身的教宗。方濟各教宗常說他來自「外圍」，不只如此，他挑選的樞機主教們，也來自外圍。梵蒂岡的特殊地位，碰上來自外圍的新任教宗方濟各，在當代各大國際議題上，發揮特殊影響力。 前教廷大使與前外交部長陶然樞機主教談到：「常有人問我，你是神父，怎麼又是外交官？我總說作為神父是我最重要的職責，外交是教會的一種手段，但不過就是一種手段。」一般國家的外交政策，以追求自己國家最大利益為原則。然而，梵蒂岡的「聖座外交」（Holy Diplomacy）所追求的最大利益，卻可能與一國之私利的邏輯大不相同。那麼，梵蒂岡的外交手段，所希望達成的目的是什麼？ 天主教廷看待當代最嚴重的國際危機——敘利亞內戰的態度，正表現了「聖座外交」的獨特之處，在發表聲明譴責聯合國的偽君子作為後，2013年9月，教宗更在敘利亞舉行了一場盛大的和平守夜活動，企圖阻止西方國家策劃空襲。 除了批判並反抗西方國家的政策，方濟各教宗也主動開啟與伊斯蘭教的對話。2017年4月底，教宗冒著成為恐怖攻擊目標的高風險前往埃及，並發表演說傳達明確訊息：「宗教是用來創造和平，不是打仗。」過去的宗教對話是奠基在神學差異上，所以永遠都無法達成共識，方濟各教宗的目標卻是——達成和平。 方濟各還善用他備受尊崇的不凡影響力，成功化解美國與古巴間的陳年隔閡。教宗若望保祿二世曾期許「讓古巴對世界開放，也讓世界對古巴開放」，這個不可能的任務在方濟各教宗的努力下付諸實現了。透過教廷大使的穿針引線，在2014年12月17日，美國與古巴政府雙雙發表談話，宣布五十多年來最重要的政策轉變。那天，剛好是教宗78歲生日，這是給教宗的生日禮物。 「外圍」被放入到核心，「核心」被推到外圍，那些長年被全球化排斥在外的國家與人民，正被教宗不斷地帶回舞台。教宗認為宗教應該是解決方法，而不是問題所在。世俗世界的聖座外交正發揮著獨特影響力，也將重新定義天主教廷在現代國際社會的意義。

'History is always made in the middle of the night. And when it happens, you are so damned tired, that you couldn't care less,' says Robert Cooper, an EU peace negotiator whose job it is to get Serbia and Kosovo to reach an agreement about peaceful coexistence. National pride and compromise are on everyone's lips, and much is at stake: Kosovo wants to come closer to independence, the Serbs have been promised EU membership if they can reach an agreement, and the EU tries to strengthen its credibility. But how far is each party willing to go? It is the unique characters that make this fascinating film about a delicate political game so vivid and loveable. The stoic, Serbian negotiator has a great passion for rock music, his colleague from Kosovo does not want to miss out on his daily visit to the hairdresser, and Cooper himself has a closet full of ties - one for every conceivable occasion.

Ambassade questions the role of diplomatic relations and territorial representation. Through the prism of the American hostage crisis in Iran between 1979 and 1981, this film focuses on Switzerland’s role as an intermediary in resolving this international conflict. Pascal Décosterd was a young Swiss diplomat sent to Tehran in 1979. Today, recently retired, he is embarking on a journey to try to understand the events of which he was one of the actors. Flavio Meroni was number 2 of the Swiss Embassy in Iran, today he is writing a book on negotiations to free the hostages. In their company we visit places in the United States, Iran and Switzerland, we meet the protagonists and retrace the different stages of these three years that shaped a new global balance. Behind the scenes of these events, where small and great history mingle, Ambassade offers insights into the importance of the human being at the heart of major diplomatic mechanisms.

When the world was on fire, they called Hans Blix. This is how the Swedish diplomat is introduced in ‘Blix Not Bombs’. And if there is one fire he is particularly associated with, it is the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Prior to the invasion, Blix led the delegation of UN officials to find out whether weapons of mass destruction were present in Iraq. And it is the invasion and its consequences that we get Blix’s formidably insightful analysis of in a thorough and honest conversation with director Greta Stocklassa. Few others understand the complexities of international politics on the world stage like Blix, and none can explain it with his intellectual elegance. But Stocklassa’s film is also a portrait of the man himself, now an elderly gentleman, writing his memoirs, walking with a cane and watching birds through the window of his apartment. His outlook and commitment is as urgent as ever, as Blix takes stock of the invasion of Iraq and the state of the world today.
