Blockade is a fascinating and terrifying experience of breaking the boundaries of time, using archival material from the Leningrad bloc kade in a completely new way. It allows us to even smell what we witness. It portrays women, men and children surviving everyday life in war, living together with death. Is it a story? Would broadcasters be interested in this piece that has minimal sound, no voice-over and no explanations of any kind? |

When it comes to savaging pop culture, No rway’s Slå på ring duo leaves no rolling stone unturned. You may have thought makeover shows were absurd enough – until you witness an animated Steinjo become Sylvester Stallone. There are fake Hollywood trailers and a mock Top of the Pops. These hosts are certainly having fun in this highly produced variety show, but what are they really saying? |

When the ultimate TV contest is held to determine who the greatest human being of all time is,they will have to add a few notable Australians to the list. Is it the housewife training to roll across the country? Or maybe the young man who seeks fame and fortune by donating an eardrum to his deaf brother? A format that satirizes other formats, it’s barbed, witty and deeply politically incorrect. |

A township outside Cape Town: three generations living under one roof are accompanied and filmed by a camera crew for four years. Miché, a charming teenage girl, lives together with her mom, granny and her siblings. This is an amazingly intimate and close portrait of family - they allow the camera to get inside their minds and act as if there was no camera at all. Instead they address the filmmaker as part of the family and share their most secret emotions with him… and the audience. |

Documentary
When her husband has a stroke, the filmmaker instinctively reaches for her camera. What begins as a personal response to tragedy becomes a document of a couple’s jour ney of healing. Stroke is at once a film about the medical aspects of stroke, a story of an mazing couple, and a film about the healing powers of love and music. It is also a very visually creative work, interweaving DV material culled from real life with dream visions shot on 35mm, to create a multi layered film with a rich visual language. |

A quest to find the author of a “forbidden” book the director read as an impressionable young teenager. The true identity of the author was long a well -kept secret after the book, Story of O, caused a scandal when it was first published in the 1950s. The film uses documentary, drama reconstruction, and pure fiction. The effect is startling and creates a real feel for the era, with surprising results. |

Well known Irish comedian Des Bishop takes us on a romp to the heart of a fairly poor community in Dublin. He does this through teaching ordinary people h ow to do stand-up comedy. Is the result a funny, socially conscientious format or is it just ghetto surfing? |
