              On Power, Dissent and Racism documents a series of talks and conversations with writer and MIT professor Noam Chomsky in 2002 in New York City and Cambridge, Massachusetts. With rigorous analysis and humour, Chomsky presents his reflections on the motivations behind 9/11 and its consequences on the international system. In this one-hour documentary Chomsky starts with the principle that we need to think globally if we want to understand the word of today. He defines the notion of terrorism within its historical context and gives his thoughts on how we should fight without exercising the politics of the most powerful. Among many others topics, Chomsky also gives his personal views on the role of the media in the war on terrorism, and on racism against Arabs and Muslims since 9/11.

Continuing where I Am That I Am (Part One) leaves off, this second film explores the revolutionary discoveries of science which validate and support the wisdom of the Buddha's Heart Sutra, the underlying science of yoga, the foundational discoveries of quantum physics and current research in neuroscience.

              Traditionally considered a postmodern city, Dubai is actually a confrontation between two ways of life. The most densely populated part of the city lives in what could be considered a “modern” architecture and society. The other and more widely known part is based along the lines of the postmodern philosophy that Jeremy Rifkin has described so well.

              Four families in Israel/Palestine built their dream houses. This process confronts them with the wounds of their past and takes us into their dreams for a better future: Kalman was born to Holocaust survivors in a refugee camp in Cyprus after World War II, his first house in Israel was a house left by the Arab community in Haifa.Zaki is the son of Palestinian refugees who were expelled from their village in the Israeli War of Independence, the Palestinian Naqba of 1948. He and his family live only few miles away from the ruins of their former home. Michal, daughter of Israeli settlers in Sinai, saw the bulldozers destroy her beloved home during the evacuation from Sinai in 1982 and Rina never had a private home in the Kibbutz where she grew up. Through these personal stories Tal creates a sensitive kaleidoscope of Israeli society at the beginning of the new Millennium.

              Directed by Billy Luther, whose own mother was crowned Miss Navajo 1966, the film reveals the inner beauty of the young women who compete in this “celebration of womanhood.” Contestants must not only show the same poise and grace as in other pageants, they must also answer tough questions in Navajo and demonstrate proficiency in skills essential to daily tribal life: fry-bread making, rug weaving, and sheep butchering. For the past 50 years, Miss Navajo Nation has celebrated women and their traditional values, language and inner beauty. The film follows the path of 21-year-old Crystal Frazier, a not so fluent Navajo speaker and self-professed introvert, as she undertakes the challenges of the pageant. It is through Crystal's quiet perseverance that we glimpse the strength and power of Navajo womanhood. The film reveals the importance of cultural preservation, the role of women in continuing dying traditions, and the surprising role that a beauty pageant can play.

A film-essay on migration, memory and the impossibility of accessing self-representation.

              Yamina Benguigui turns her camera on a multi-ethnic region on the outskirts of Paris. These 'backyards' of Paris - suburban industrial ghettos filled with poor immigrants - are a breeding ground for social problems in the midst of an eclectic mix of conflicting cultures and identities.

              Logorama explores the extent to which logos are embedded in our daily existence. In the words of members of H5, "Logorama presents us with an over-marketed world built only from logos and real trademarks that are destroyed by a series of natural disasters (including an earthquake and a tidal wave of oil). Logotypes are used to describe an alarming universe (similar to the one that we are living in) with all the graphic signs that accompany us in our everyday lives. This over-organized universe is violently transformed when the cataclysm becomes fantastic and absurd. It shows the victory of the creative against the rational, where nature and human fantasy triumph.”
