  • Dupła Wita Walęcinie ("The Double Life of Valentina") - a moving masterpiece by the Venedic cineast Krzysztof Kieśliny about the parallel lives of two almost identical young women: Walęcina from the RTC and Valentina from the NAL, both played by Irena Jakobina. Although they meet only once (a brief glimpse through a bus window in Kordyn), their lives remain thoroughly interconnected until Walęcina's untimely death, symbolising the sacrifices of the RTC during the Second Great War.
  • Forlorn in Traduction - highly acclaimed drama about two very different people coping with culture shock together in Quiòto, titled "Wisse in Commeirdsone" in the Jovian original.
  • Gigantic! - set sail on the world's first superliner: longest, widest, most richly appointed passenger liner on the ocean sea and unsinkable to boot!
  • Jaunge Blone - a series of espionage thrillers based around Jervan special agent Jaunge Blone in the service of the High King. Blone tends to save the world from megalomaniac bad guys by disposing of them and their goons in creative ways and with suitable one-liner eulogies, bedding at the very least two beautiful women (regardless of affiliation), engaging in vehicle chases, staying in style under all circumstances, flirting with his secretary Ms Guenapfeinge, spending immesurable amounts of money, and in general just being very Jervan. His latest movie is Casino Reqal, set in an even-more-intrigue-prone version of Xliponia.
  • Kawars - follow the antics of these animated machines in their struggle to defeat the ruthless master of MegaWeld, who wants to send all worn out kawars to the scrap chopper!

Naturally, the Captain of the Fenwickian forces falls in love with a local New Amsterdamian beauty and he seduces her into returning his diminutive forest home. Drollery par excellence!
