A film based on the Neapolitan cult of dead. It is said that these dead people call out in dreams, and sometimes appear in a crowd: the stranger who is staring at you. They want to be acknowledged. So you adopt a skull, one of the thousands of human remains that can be found below the city. This ancient cult that has been practised until recently has left traces, traditions and beliefs.

Long suppressed by missionaries and then by Soviet anti-religious campaigns, Siberian shamanism has experienced an unprecedented revival following the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the number of shamans continues to rise. But who are these new shamans? Are they tricksters, magicians, businessmen, or cultural activists? This film takes a behind-thescenes look at a Buryat shaman living on an island in Lake Baikal as he moves between intimate shamanic rituals performed for local clientele and shows performed at various resorts for Western tourists in search of “primitive” cultures.

Evangelical spot of New Tribe Mission (ntm.org): “Millions of men, women and children, tribal people all across the world, in remote, never-before reached places of the Earth, ISOLATED, with NO ACCESS of Salvation in Jesus. Living in Darkness...”

Islam stands for change. It seeks to change the individual and society, into a community: the “ummah”, an Arabic word that comes from the root "um", or "mother". This change covers every aspect of human life from personal morality ho business, economics and politics. It is only natural that Islam should be fought by those who want to keep the status quo. “On the pilgrimage (to Mecca), I had close contact with Muslims whose skin would be classified as white, but these particular Muslims didn't call themselves white. They looked upon themselves as human beings, as part of the human family and therefore they looked upon all other segments of the human family as part of that same family. So, I said that if Islam had done this, perhaps if the white men in America would study Islam, perhaps it could do the same for them”.

“The opening of a Muslim oratory in a building in Santa Coloma de Gramenet (Barcelona), for the celebration of Ramadan in October 2004 sparked a confrontation with dye intolerance among the residents of the city and the City. No Mosque! is a documentary of dialog and reflection that analyzes causes and consequences of this conflict on the basis of testimony of all of its protagonists.” We see the escalating pressure from one section of the neighborhood, the solidarity of others (the Ateneu Popular), the pathetic response of the City Council and the Muslim community's banishment to a prayer room made from shipping containers among wire fences in an Industrial Zone... A fractal that is being repeated exponentially throughout the country.

Motherhood on Trial looks at public reaction to the case of Susan Smith/ the young mother who confessed to drowning her two sons in a South Carolina lake after claiming they were abducted by a black man. The documentary combines multiple layers of audio and video to create a complex tapestry of sound and image that emphasizes the complexity of the issues and explores how the background/ experiences and agenda of each character influences his or her telling of the story.

“My spiritual journey had taken me from the land of Ahuramazda to the realm of Allah. I came to believe there is only one God, the God of light, goodness and joy. A God who abides not on the mountains or in the oceans, nor the cities or the sanctuaries, but in the human souls who worship there”. Aryana Farshad.
