              In a world where the economy is no longer at the service of mankind but precisely the opposite, productivity targets and management methods are pushing workers to the very limits of their endurance. Illness, industrial accidents and physical and psychological suffering are at unprecedented levels. The stories that men and women tell their doctor or psychologist, workplace inspectors and industrial tribunals show that there is an urgent need to rethink the way we work.

              With 1 billion of the world's population going to bed hungry at night, Last Supper For Malthus sheds light on one of the most prevalent and alarming issues of our time, the global food crisis. The film brings to life political-economists Thomas Malthus and David Ricardo, interweaving their theories with gripping images and interviews from some of the world's leading experts on the topic, including figures such as U.N. Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, Dr. Jacques Diouf, Jean Ziegler, Olivier de Schutter and Donald Coxe. The film focuses on some of the most controversial issues today including changing diets, climate change and the use food for fuel, and considers the effects of the worst global economic crisis seen in over 80 years. A leading and up-to-date reference work on the food crisis, Last Supper For Malthus is unique it its presentation of long-term feasible solutions. More than a movie, it is a tool for solving what has been deemed by many as the "Permanent Food Crisis".

              Drawing upon the ideas and analyses of renowned intellectuals, this documentary sketches a portrait of neoliberal ideology and examines the various mechanisms used to impose its dictates throughout the world. Neoliberalism's one-size-fits-all dogmas are well known: deregulation, reducing the role of the State, privatization, limiting inflation rather than unemployment, etc. In other words, depoliticizing the economy and putting it into the hands of the financial class.

              I drift for several hours in the streets of Santiago in Chile, camera in the hand. In a district close to the Palace of Moneda, a man stands rigidly in the middle of the footpath. His body has become numb from years of solitude and suffering. Only the occasional glance from frightened passers-by connects him to society.

              Every day, across all corners of the globe, hundreds of thousands of users log onto Second Life, a virtual online world not entirely unlike our own. They enter a new reality, whose inhabitants assume alternate personas in the form of avatars—digital alter egos that can be sculpted and manipulated to their heart's desire, representing reality, fantasy, or a healthy mix of both. Within this alternate landscape, escapism abounds, relationships are formed, and a real-world economy thrives, effectively blurring the lines between reality and "virtual" reality. Director Jason Spingarn-Koff digs deeply into the core of basic human interaction by assuming his own avatar and immersing himself in the worlds of Second Life residents, whose real lives have been drastically transformed by the new lives they lead in cyberspace. In doing so, he manages to create an intimate, character-based drama that forces us to question not only who we are, but who we long to be.

              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.”

              Maya is “all that is and all that is not"...the complete illusion in imagination.” And with total, absolute, 100% watchfulness, it is possible to see Maya for what it truly is. With this awareness, with this attention onto the experiencer – without reliance on any practice, any method, or to any past or future achievements, you will discover in this split-second, who you really are. The secret of true happiness is revealed in this knowledge. “To cross this ocean of suffering called samsara you must have a raft; Satsang is this raft. Once you are on this raft, you need do nothing and nothing can bother you.” The secret of Satsang is revealed in this split-second. All desires are fulfilled – not abandoned – but fulfilled. Nothing more is desired. You have it all.

              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.

              In Memorias, norias y fábricas de lejía, images portraying happiness – the only images that home movies allow – clash with a voiceover recounting stories of the migration of agricultural workers from rural Andalusia to industrial centers in Catalonia. A film-essay on migration, memory and the impossibility of accessing self-representation.
