Is it still possible to live a nomad's life today? Can a person continue to walk on multifarious paths that lead to ever-changing horizons? How can this void be filled' These disturbing questions are all the more acute in the arid lands of the Sahara and the Sahel, as their economy is gradually smothered, their population criminalised, and their territories ruthlessly coveted for their rich mining potential. In an effort to keep chaos and meaninglessness at bay and to resist the ultimate dispossession of the self – that of the imagination – forty-four Toureg poets gathered for three days and three nights in Agadez, in November 2006. The aim of the gathering was to join forces and define resonant pathways freed from the shackles that currently immobilise their society, and to reinvent new ways of weaving a present.

In 1968, a new model of life is announced. Plastic nomads will colonise the snowy mountain peaks, slide down mountain slopes to green valleys, and fly suspended from helicopters to virgin beaches in the middle of nowhere.

In its day it was a success, destined to be forgotten by fashion. 6th Independent Vídeo & Interactive Phenomena Show

Galoot (Exile in Hebrew) is an intimate saga that touches on the seeds of the pains and tragedies now transformed into the entrenched Palestinian/Israeli conflict. A temporary exile from his homeland allows an Israeli filmmaker to see the conflict with new and provocative eyes. Through his Palestinian and Israeli friends and through his and his wife's personal journeys, Galoot provides a reflective voyage through homes and deserted homelands in Israel, Palestine, Poland, Morocco and England.

For 30 years New Mexico-based architect Michael Reynolds and his green disciples have devoted their time to advancing the art of “Earthship Biotecture” by building self-sufficient, off-the-grid communities where design and function converge in eco-harmony. However, these experimental structures that defy State standards create conflict between Reynolds and the authorities, who are backed by big business. Frustrated by antiquated legislation, Reynolds lobbies for the right to create a sustainable living test site.
