- A kaleidoscopic exploration of what our sense of smell has to do with memory, emotion, and sex.
- -The documentary "Placide Gaboury, le contestataire tranquille" (Placide Gaboury, the quiet protester), offers a reflection on the evolution of spirituality in Quebec (Canada) from the Great Darkness to the present day, through the eyes of a wise man, Placide Gaboury, who has been both an actor and a witness to these socio-political and spiritual upheavals. Like a quiet force, he made his way through the maze of spirituality to finally find his bearings within himself.
- Brasília was built in the 1950s in what was then the relatively empty interior plateau of Brazil. It was created out of nothingness for various reasons including to show what a great country Brazil was/is in showcasing it as its new capital, and to usher in a new urbanism with one of the goals to eliminate class divisions. The city plan by Lúcio Costa, called Plano Piloto, contains a major axis comprised of government buildings designed by Oscar Niemeyer, and a secondary axis sprouting from either side which contains all other urban functions, each separated into its own sector. The plan was designed ultimately to house a population of 500,000 after which satellite cities would be built to accommodate any others required to support the functions of Brasília. In being designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Plano Piloto cannot be changed. Approximately half a century later, several Brasílians talk about the reality of how Brasília and its surrounding satellite cities ultimately developed, and in general the difficulties of eking out a holistic life in the city in it not being at all what Costa and Niemeyer envisioned in how it was supposed to function for the average Brasílian. While some of those interviewed are directly affected by Brasília itself - one an architect who works in the Federal District planning department, and another, training to be a phone counselor, a "Brasília" souvenir seller on the side - and thus have some stake in the future of Plano Piloto, most are average Joes or Janes Public who must learn to survive within what is largely considered this emotionally and practically harsh environment.
- Wolves From Above is a meditation on a pack of wolves filmed from the air. The wolves are quiet and elusive. You can hear the weight of their paws on the grass, some playful growls, sniffing, licking, but on the whole this is a very still space. Many interactions take place in the video - it is evident that the wolves are communicating, but we as human viewers are not sure what is happening. The tranquil silence draws the spectator in and allows the viewer to discover a different wolf.
- When a war starts in space, can anyone really win?
- They sell everything - cloth, food, curtains - in the streets of Istanbul, and some of them have been at it for more than 50 years. But their way of life is about to change.
