89 Millimeters
80 minutes, 2005 DVCAM, Germany/Belarus By Sebastian Heinzel

German filmmaker Sebastian Heinzel sets out on a journey to Belarus, a young nation that is torn between stagnation, protest and emigration. He meets a political refugee, members of the Resistance, a house painter, a Go-Go-dancer, a journalist without any prospects and a soldier devoted to his country. The film is a portrait of a generation trying to find its own way after the breakdown of the Soviet Union. On the border of the new European Union, some say Belarus is the last European dictatorship.

El Inmigrante
90 minutes, 2005 miniDV, USA/Mexico By John Sheedy, David Eckenrode & John Eckenrode

A documentary film that examines the Mexican and American border crisis by telling the story of Eusebio de Haro a young Mexican migrant who was shot and killed during one of his journeys north. The film presents a distinct humanitarian focus in which story and character take precedent over policy and empiricism. Towards this end "El Inmigrante" examines the perspectives of a diverse cast of players in this border narrative. A cast which includes the de Haro family, the community of Brackettville, Texas-where Eusebio was shot, members of vigilante border militias in Arizona, the horseback border patrol in El Paso, and migrants en route to an uncertain future in the United States.

27 minutes, 1972 16mm, USA By John Cohen

Filmed in the mountains of North Carolina, this documentary revisits the region where English folklorist Cecil Sharp collected British ballads in the early 1900s. It contrasts the nature of the ballad singers with the presence of the juke box: although the lyrical tradition has changed, the singing style continues. Features Dillard Chandler, who sings with rare intensity and style.

52 minutes, 2003 Beta SP, USA By Mara Wallis

Many of the entertainers who toured the Vietnam war were well known...but not all. Filmmaker Mara Wallis belonged to this group of freelance performers for over 2 years and returns to the intensity of the times to tell their compelling stories in Entertaining Vietnam. The entertainers we meet in this award winning documentary returned repeatedly to Vietnam, hitching rides from base to base to perform on landing zones at remote outposts...there were casualties amongst their ranks. Interweaving rare archival footage and interviews with veteran performers from Australia and the U.S., Entertaining Vietnam offers new insight into a tumultuous time by taking us to a place only a few really experienced.
