The goal of this documentary is to give a kind of snapshot of people's lives in the neighborhood of Raval in Barcelona on a normal day in wintertime in 2009. The idea was to accompany people with very distinct points of view through their everyday lives. All of these stories combine as part of one day in Raval, in which the camera changes situation and thus perspective over time, also meeting people to accompany and follow them on part of their daily route, observing and listening to their impressions of daily life in the neighbourhood. The cinematic design is to be clearly distinguishable and stand out from a classic reportage or documentary film style. The film does not follow a story in the classical way, it does not use any interviews, a narrative voice or music which is not part of the ambience in the image. Instead the camera is observing simple situations in the daily life in the Raval neighbourhood, following its main protagonists as a silent observer in their ordinary life.

Fiction meets reality, and in the face of danger a fiction hero bursts into action, ignoring his father?s warnings against meddling in the lives of humans.... with all respect due to the victims, we are clearly talking about something else here.
Untitled1991 is a key date in the construction of the global empire. At the start of the first Gulf war, George Bush "the father", paraphrasing a soldier, declared: "I don't think we're in this war over the price of a barrel of oil, we're here to define the future of the world for the next 100 years".

From the front-lines of conflicts in Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Palestine, Korea, 'the North' from Seattle to Genova, and the 'War on Terror' in New York, Afghanistan, and Iraq. The story of men and women around the world who resist being annihilated in this war. While our airwaves are crowded with talk of a new world war, narrated by generals and filmed from the noses of bombs, the human story of this global conflict remains untold. "The Fourth World War" brings together the images and voices of the war on the ground. It is a story of a war without end and of those who resist. The product of over two years of filming on the inside of movements on five continents, "The Fourth World War" is a film that would have been unimaginable at any other moment in history.

Six friends. Each one, alone in front of the camera, tried to give personal identification and also perception of everybody else's identity. Story of 6 men becomes a story of 36 identities. Are they all real or they are virtual'... Or... Which one of them are real and which one is not? Do we actually know each other or we just know the image that we made about ourselves?

This documentary tells the story of how our civilization's addiction to oil puts it on a collision course with geology. The film visits with the world's top experts and comes to a startling, but logical conclusion - our industrial society, built on cheap and readily available oil, must be completely re-imagined and overhauled. You needn't be a conspiracy theorist to see a connection between America's current obsessions with the Middle East and national security, and the world's looming oil crisis. The frenzied search for alternative sources of energy now being pursued by the largest multinational energy corporations makes it clear they also believe a crisis is fast approaching...

"These boys treat their dad as though they were genuinely glad to see him, as though they really missed him...". (The Prelinger Archives are a source of educational material, mainly ordered by theme, giving a vision of the dark side, the underbelly, perhaps naive of the American dream and the America that is often hidden behind the media curtain.)

This film seeks the truth behind one of the most mysterious Nazi propaganda films ever shot inside the Warsaw Ghetto: a silent film that meticulously placed staged scenes of Jews enjoying a life of luxury in the ghetto alongside other chilling images that required no staging at all. Ironically, after the war, filmmakers and museums used fragments of the film as objective, general illustrations to accompany narratives of survivors and other written documents. Few people were aware of the dubious manner in which these images were created and the true but inconceivable reality that they bear witness to. The cinematic deception was forgotten and the black and white images remained etched in memory as historical truth.A Film Unfinished shakes our naive trust in photographic images and the way we perceive the historical past.
