Documentary
A thrilling ride through the turmoil. From the seven months prior to the April 2002 coup d’etat against the President of Venezuela Hugo Chavez through his dramatic return to power 48 hours later. A perfect example of filmmakers starting out with one idea and finding themselves in the eye of an unanticipated storm. They stayed, they filmed, their award-winning documentary is the result. See the film (again, if you’ve seen it already) and talk with the filmmakers. An amazing opportunity!

What if the Romanian revolution were not a spontaneous revolt of the people against the dictator but provoked by the joint collaboration of eastern and western secret services? And if it were, would it change our views of the events? This investigative documentary reveals the secret world of politics at the end of the Cold War, and shows how difficult it was to kick-start democracy. Can we really rely on what the evening news were showing and telling in those days all thru Europe?

Too hot to handle? The former Spanish government seems to think so. This story of Basque culture and politics talks to activists, victims of terrorism, journalists and artists who dare to speak out. It was so controversial in Spain, the government withdrew funding and actually tried to stop its screening. So where`s the democracy when democracy fails?

Here’s a sports documentary that’s so much more than balls. A Belgian soccer club depends on African players to score – but the white board doesn´t want too many “blackies” on the team. A film that ignores political correctness. Why did the manager allow the filmmaker to capture the racism and deal-making on film – for 18 whole months? Did he not realize what the result would be, or did he just forget the camera was on?

The European Union is getting ready to expand. The negotiations between key countries are intense and confidential. But it appears that the camera was always rolling…or was it? Who had a say about what was being filmed? How many politicians were willing to participate? Does this proximity interfere with the documentation?

In the center of the conflict between Mexican day laborers and residents of Farmingville, a small town in New York, directors Tambini and Sandoval reveal the larger, more complex truth of how mismanaged national policies can lead to fear, isolation and racism in America today. The camera swings its point of view from one side of the struggle to the other. Lives are threatened, voices raised and the survival of a community lies in the balance.

Soldiers standing day after day checking ID cards and permits, challenging a medical need, restraining a busload of children, keeping a laborer from returning to his home… humiliation becomes the norm. This unprecedented observational documentary, shot by the director, is never haphazard or accidental. Shooting without restriction and with surprising cooperation from the soldiers, the filmmaker takes you to the checkpoint where you’re forced to witness for yourself the corrosive effect on humanity as the abuse of dignity reigns. Well-deserved winner of the 1st prize at the IDFA, Amsterdam, 2003.

Television : obviously a favorite of Silvio Berlusconi. He owns it, controls it, thrives before cameras when campaigning or insulting a German representative. How much does Silvio Berlusconi’s access to power rely on his control over the media – and especially television ? How much does he depend on it to remain in position ? A film that gathered funding from the USA, Finland, Denmark, Belgium, Norway, Sweden and The Netherlands…but not from Italy.
