86 minutes, 2003 35mm, Slovakia By Peter Kerekes

A film about the Kosice, Slovakia swimming pool where history came to bathe. Seen through several stories which unfolded between the years of 1936 and 2002, the film captures 66 seasons at the popular swimming pool, and the same number of years in the history of Central and Eastern Europe. This film is supported by the reminiscences of several visitors to the “Cehacko,” as the pool was known. Different generations of swimmers replaced one another over the course of the decades, only the craving for water as a place of absolute equality and a source of security remains just as strong.

70 minutes, 2002 DV- USA By Renee Bergan

Sadaa e Zan (Voices of Women) is an intimate look at the contemporary challenges facing the women in Afghanistan. Shot entirely in Afghanistan in March 2002, Sadaa e Zan offers an astonishingly unsentimental view of post-Taliban life. The film is composed of testimonials from women and girls who describe firsthand what it was like to live in fear for over five years, stripped of all rights and denied any access to education or meaningful work. Despite the consequences, many engaged in daring efforts to provide medical care and underground schools for women and children. The film offers no easy answers, the future of Afghanistan is anything but clear, but it captures the resilient spirit of these women as they bravely emerge from the rubble of tyranny and oppression, determined to reach freedom.

Salesman
90 minutes, 1968 16mm, USA By Albert Maysles, David Maysles & Charlotte Zwerin

Salesman follows four door-to-door Bible salesmen as they walk the line between hype and despair. Paul "The Badger" Brennan, Charles "The Gipper" McDewitt, James "The Rabbit" Baker, and Raymond "The Bull" Martos, are so nicknamed for their particular selling styles -- on their rounds. First making calls in and around Boston, where the company is based, then in Chicago at a sales conference, and finally in the promising new "territory" of Miami and vicinity. Their mission is simple: to convince people to buy what one of them calls "still the best seller in the world." But although their customers are mostly middle- and worker-class Catholics recommended by the local church, the Bible is a hard sell. In action, the salesmen rely on trusty catch phrases: "Could you say if this would help the family? Could you see where this would be of value in the home? A gain to you?" Talking, pushing, cajoling, telling jokes and stories, throwing out compliments, the salesmen make their "pitches" to a wide range of customers -- lonely widows, married couples, Cuban immigrants, bored housewives -- from those who clearly cannot afford the $50 book to those who, in the end, are convinced by the salesman's somewhat too-cheerful patter.

Saints and Sinners
79 minutes, 2004 HDCAM24P, USA By Abigail Honor & Yan Vizinberg

Saints and Sinners follows the challenging journey of a devoutly Catholic gay couple determined to marry in a Catholic church. Caring more about formalizing their seven-year union within the Catholic tradition than legal recognition by the state, Edward DeBonis, who grew up as an altar boy, and Vincent Maniscalco, who was baptized at Old St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Little Italy and who attends Sunday Mass regularly, feel that getting married outside the Catholic tradition is not an option. The couple books St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Manhattan, converts it to suit a Catholic mass and invites Rev. Raymond Lefebvre, a gay Catholic priest, to perform the ceremony. Saints and Sinners is a highly timely vision of love and commitment, which demonstrates that the struggle for equal rights is not just about legal benefits, but the aspiration to find acceptance and affirmation, rather than rejection, from one’s chosen religion.

“One of the most effective, intelligent, mature and romantic love stories to come across the screen recently is, of all things, a documentary.”

78 minutes, 2003 16mm/DVCAM, USA By Robb Moss

If you could look your future in the eye, would it recognize you? In 1978, on a breath-taking trip in the Grand Canyon, filmmaker Robb Moss and a group of free-spirited friends and lovers took a month-long trip down the Colorado River. Cutting between footage of their youthful, often naked, unscheduled lives and the complex realities of their adulthood today, the film creates a compelling portrait of cultural metamorphosis. From running rapids to running for mayor, The Same River Twice is a story of change, choices, and of finding one's place in the world.

"A piercingly poignant then-and-now portrait...so palpable it puts a lump in your throat."  - New York Times

A second-hand bookstore is often associated with the peace and the quiet dictated by the old dusty books. This particular one in Warsaw, however, is entirely different. Locals visit not only for the books but also for the atmosphere. The customers are mainly regulars, treating the bookstore as a place to meet, chat and vent their troubles. Krzysztof, the owner, watches over everything and, like a trained doctor, he seems to know what is ailing whom and how he might remedy his customers' afflictions.

Sentenced Home
76 minutes, 2005 DVCAM, USA/Cambodia By David Grabias & Nicole Newnham

Raised as Americans in inner-city Seattle, three Cambodian refugees each made a rash decision as a teenager-committing a crime that irrevocably shaped their destiny. Now as adults 20 years later, they find themselves caught between a tragic past and an uncertain future by a system that doesn't offer any second chances. Filmed over the course of three years, Sentenced Home puts a human face on U.S. deportation policy, following the heart-breaking sagas of these three Cambodian-Americans full-circle. The film reflects with them about their birth in the Killing Fields, their youth on America's mean streets, and their struggles in courtrooms and prisons, and follows them through their unwilling return to Cambodia decades later. Told in first-person narration, through the voices of the three deportees, their families and their friends, Sentenced Home interweaves their dramatic cinema-verité stories and raises timely questions about immigration, civil rights, and cultural identity that have no easy answer.

Seoul Train
54 minutes, 2004 miniDV, USA By Jim Butterworth, Aaron Lubarsky & Lisa Sleeth

With its riveting footage of a secretive “underground railroad,” Seoul Train is the gripping documentary exposé into the life and death of North Koreans as they try to escape their homeland and China. Seoul Train also delves into the complex geopolitics behind this growing and potentially explosive humanitarian crisis. By combining vérité footage, personal stories and interviews with experts and government officials, Seoul Train depicts the flouting of international laws by major countries, the inaction and bureaucracy of the United Nations, and the heroics of activists that put themselves in harm’s way to save the refugees.

Shulie the film would be "remade" thirty years later, shot for shot and word for word, with actors, by Elizabeth Subrin, who said simply, "Everything about it felt familiar to me..."

49 minutes, 2003 DVCAM, USA/Cuba By Judith Grey, Katherine Cheng & Eva Orner

After the revolution of 1959 and the U.S. embargo that followed, the people of Cuba were left to fend for themselves. Deprived of even the most basic goods, they scavenge the alleys and scrap heaps, giving new vitality to the discarded. Their recycled products are often remarkably ingenious and creative. For Andrs the sculptor, Tomas the canary breeder, and the other subjects of Sin Embargo, even the greatest pressure – whether levied by government or circumstance – cannot crush the spirit nor quash the desire to forge a better life for themselves and their families. Shot entirely in Cuba, Sin Embargo is a look into the hearts and dreams of struggling peoples and a tribute to their optimistic and resourceful determination to survive.

In today's fast-paced urban societies, people are constantly on the lookout for quicker and better ways to squeeze as much as possible out of every second. Singapore Standard Time takes a quirky look at the ways in which speed has taken root in Singaporean culture. Driven by an ethos of efficiency and instant gratification, we have taken speed to unique heights, from setting the world record for the fastest text message to the patented 20-minute facelift. Despite these convenient advantages, could this culture of speed be a sign of something more?

Lobsang Samten, formerly a Buddhist monk and personal attendant to the Dalai Lama, has practiced the art of sand painting for over 30 years. In January 2003, Lobsang visited the Holter Museum of Art in Helena, Montana, to create an intricate mandala called the Sipay Khorlo, or the Wheel of Life. After the mandala is finished, the children of the community destroy it in a dissolution ceremony. The sand is then distributed so it can bring luck and peace to the places that it reaches. Lobsang also spoke with many of the local children about Tibet, asked them about their culture, and showed them how to create their own mandalas using crayons and watercolors. The monks of Tashi Lhumpo Monestary performed several ceremonial songs which create a beautiful soundtrack. Sipay Khorlo: The Wheel of Life creates an appreciation for this ancient art form as well as for the importance of crossing cultural boundaries.

One of a series of aerial city studies by Olivo Barbieri, begins over the deserts of Arizona and Nevada and soon reaches the fantasy glitter world of Las Vegas. A portrait of materialism, Barbieri's film confounds - the miniature-sized pedestrians, cars and architecture appear as artificial as toys; monumental feats of engineering (the Hoover Dam or the Fountains at Bellagio) seem strangely out-of-context within the natural landscape; and the development of the Las Vegas Strip causes one to ask, what motivates such excess?

Sixty Spins Around the Sun tells the story of Randy Credico a showbiz flameout who has spent the last twenty years lending his voice to unsung causes, from his support of the Sandanistas and Jimmy Hoffa, Jr., to his fight against racial profiling and New York's Rockelfeller Drug Laws. The film explores Randy's flaws from his professional fatal appearance on Carson to his humiliating stint as H.R. Puf-n-Stuf. Ex-girlfriends, co-workers, and show-biz luminaries like Larry avid and Colin Quinn pepper this bizarre portrait with their insights. Part Political consciousness-raiser and part show-business expose', '60 Spins Around the Sun' is a poignant account of an under-appreciated mold breaker whose heart, energy and passion--even if all over theplace--are always in the right place.

So Glad I Made It is a portrait of America’s best unknown songwriter, Roger Salloom. The film follows the efforts of Salloom, a fifty-something former San Francisco psychedelic rocker and Nashville songwriter, as he attempts to jump-start his career after a 20 year hiatus from the music business. Shot over a period of six months, the film weaves performances by Salloom and Grammy Award winners James Cotton and The Blind Boys of Alabama, with contemporary verite and candid interviews resulting in a kind of counter-VH1 “behind the music”. Salloom’s struggles reveal how illusive the American Dream is for most contemporary musical artists underscoring the hard realities of the music industry.

Something Between Her Hands examines the growing problem of sex slavery and labor for women in Southeast Asia through the eyes of six young Cambodian girls who were trafficked into prostitution in Cambodia and Thailand. From the brothels to a transitional shelter, the girls are faced with the toughest decision of their lives- to return to prostitution, to join the garment factory work force or to return to their villages and face the stigma of being sold.

“The talking-head shots of Cambodian survivors of sexual slavery in Sonya Shah’s Something Between Her Hands demonstrate that sometimes the best choice a filmmaker can make is to dispense with artifice entirely. Haltingly without self-pity, the women recount how they were duped, sold, drugged, and forced to serve 30 clients and more a day”.

He is a sort of cult hero in small towns throughout Montana where his pen and ink drawings hang in local saloons. In addition he is a talented painter, wood-carver and poet. This film sets the process of carving a buffalo against the backdrop of an original poem about Montana revealing Mark’s efforts to integrate his life, philosophy and art.

Street Denizens is a character driven film that creates a collage of personal narratives depicting life on the streets. Here are the often marginalized words of a few homeless souls. With humor and raw sensitivity, the film weaves together individual stories ranging from a train hopping vagabond, to a soft spoken Native American outcast with compassion for his fellow brethren, to a jocular street philosopher, among others. Street Denizens was shot entirely in Missoula, Montana, but serves to illuminate an issue of national consideration. Filmed by two graduate students with an assignment to document and search for the meaning of “community.”

This is a prologue to the third chapter in the story of my era. It suggests the messages I heard in the fifties which set up my emergence into adulthood. It was about the music of what's happening and of what is possible. It feasted on the excitement of being engaged and challenged and on fire. It was about setting up situations where a life could be imagined and a real life lived. It is a movie within a movie. I am none. I come from nowhere. I meet the beautiful people. I see the light. I get the gift of the capture.
