Encirclement: Neoliberalism Ensnares Democracy (2009)

www.encirclement.info

160 minutes, Black & White 16mm HDCam

Directed by: Richard Brouillette (Canada)

Drawing upon the thinking and analyses of renowned intellectuals, this documentary sketches a portrait of neo-liberal ideology and examines the various mechanisms used to impose its dictates throughout the world.

Neo-liberalism’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. And these dogmas are gradually settling into our consciousness because they’re being broadcast across a vast and pervasive network of propaganda.

In fact, beginning with the founding in 1947 of the Mont Pèlerin Society, neo-liberal think tanks financed by multinational companies and big money have propagated neo-liberal ideas in universities, in the media, and in governments.

This ideology, convinced of its historical and scientific validity – as proven, in particular, by the fall of the Soviet Union – has intoxicated all governments, left and right alike. In fact, since the end of the Cold War, the rate of neo-liberal reforms has increased dramatically. Often imposed with force, either through the structural adjustment plans of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, under the pressure of financial markets and multinationals, or even by outright war, the neo-liberal doctrine has now reached every corner of the planet.

But behind the ideological smokescreen, behind the neat concepts of natural order and the harmony of interests in a free market, beyond the panacea of the “invisible hand,” what is really going on?

Featuring: Noam Chomsky, Ignacio Ramonet, Normand Baillargeon, Susan George, Omar Aktouf, Oncle Bernard, Michel Chossudovsky, François Denord, François Brune, Martin Masse, Jean-Luc Migué, Filip Palda and Donald J. Boudreaux

All About Tesla - The Research (2006)

www.allabouttesla.com

84/58 minutes, Color HDCam

Directed by: Michael Krause (Germany)

Over 100 years ago, Nikola Tesla invented the AC (Alternating Current) power system. He wanted to make the resource available to everyone, FREE-OF-CHARGE and WIRELESS! For his efforts, he was labelled a charlatan and a dangerous intruder, a person to be dismissed at all costs!

Today, it is necessary to find new energy resources. Fossil fuels will run out soon and they have to be replaced. To the present day, nobody knows by what. 100 years ago, Nikola Tesla worked on the forefront to answer this question. Tesla saw the ‘ambient medium’ as the energy source of our future. He wanted to tap into this ‘eternal source of energy of the Universe’.

Nikola Tesla’s vision of free energy is a concept for the 21st century. Modern science has discovered that more than 70 percent of the Universe is dark energy. Can we tap into it? Tesla said: yes, we can.

In ALL ABOUT TESLA – THE RESEARCH director Michael Krause visits important places in Nikola Tesla's life, he meets with busy researchers and adamant fans. Exclusive interviews with scientists, politicians and other personalities of today reflect the inspiring influence of Nikola Tesla on their research. The film shows how the memory of Tesla survived and how it was kept alive. What do people do with Tesla’s inventions, ideas and visions today?

Instead, Johar completely denies that he has a son, even when provoked by his friend, the cook, Bandi (45). The situation is further aggravated by the boys who taunt and bully Jaya to no end.

Cuba - The Value of Utopia (2007)

www.luciernagafilms.com

119 minutes, HD

Directed by: Yanara Guayasamin (Ecuador)

Today, July 26, is the celebration of how it all began. Afterwards, a journey back in time, from Batista's coup d'etat to the triumph of the revolution. Then, back to the present. The stories of those who participated directly in the revolutionary process guide us. We see the narrators about their daily lives, as their voices tell us where they come from, what awoke their revolutionary awareness, and how they became involved in the clandestine struggle. Their stories are juxtaposed with images of modern-day Cuba.

From the exhilarating days following the triumph of the revolution, we come to their lives of today, 46 years later. Cubans do not live in luxury, particularly since the fall of the Soviet Empire, and they are the first to admit it.

The price of liberty is very high.

As for those who lived through that intense life-and-death struggle, what do they say today?

Their lives, their struggles and their memories come together to form a vivid portrait of a generation and its leader.

102 minutes

Directee by: Arun Bharali (Canada)

Kavita (Koel Purie), a young and naïve video clerk, spends her days watching the Bollywood movies that line the walls of the rental store. Mouthing every word and learning every dance of her favorite films, Kavita would give anything to live the life of her idol, the Bollywood diva, Kohinoor.

When Kavita learns that Kohinoor is in Toronto to complete a film, the sweet-natured Kavita is determined to sneak into the movie studio. But, in true Bollywood fashion, Kohinoor is kidnapped en route to her hotel. For the movie's horrified director, Mayur (Raahul Singh), the film and his career are over if the overbearing financier learns of the kidnapping. When Mayur discovers Kavita hidden away in the studio, lightning strikes. Rather than have her arrested, the director sends her straight to hair and makeup. Kavita will perform as Kohinoor's look-alike until he can raise the ransom money.

Suddenly, Kavita finds herself cast in her very own campy Bollywood potboiler, making her greatest fan fantasy come true: to become a Bollywood heroine. Sparks fly as Kavita and Mayur must deal with menacing kidnappers, a jaded star, Mayur's ambitious fiancée (Sitara Hewitt) and the demanding financier. Just like in Bollywood, mistaken identity, murder, music and dance all combine to make for a wild and wonderful romantic adventure.

Operation Felix - Hitler's Key to Victory (2008)

60 minutes, 16:9

Directed by: Martin Nuza (UK)

Written by: Alfonso Escuadra (Spain)

In 1940, Hitler ordered a number of his most trusted generals to mastermind an invasion that might have changed the outcome of the Second World War. It was dubbed “Operation Felix”, and its goal was to seize Gibraltar.

To counter this threat, the British dug over 20 miles of tunnels inside the solid rock of Gibraltar, a tunnel system so perfect that it has been known to be “worthy of the Romans”. But the British also knew that if Hitler's invasion had gone ahead, they could not have held Gibraltar for more than three days. However, their job was also to spy on Hitler's army.

The operation was cancelled at the last moment due to an unprecedented diplomatic state of affairs.

This documentary reveals for the first time the whole story behind "Operation Felix", drawing on military archive material and film footage not accessed since 1953.

Shot in Gibraltar, Spain, France, and Germany by British producer Martin Nuza, and written by Spanish historian Alfonso Escuadra Sanchez, this lively documentary gives us in superb images a comprehensive account of Hitler's plans to conquer Gibraltar; of Churchill's defence by way of a huge tunnel system 'worthy of the Romans'; as well as the role of General Franco in this exciting chapter of WW II during 1940/41.

Measures to Better the World (2005)

88 minutes

Directed by: Jörn Hintzer & Jakob Hüfner (Germany)

The world is in need of ideas, visions, utopias and perspectives – the world is in need of new measures.

Finding new solutions for old problems and not taking yourself too seriously – fake documentary is the word. In eight episodes solutions, constructs and thinking models are presented, ideas which could be part of our lives in the near future.

The Case of Raoul Wallenberg - Saviour and Victim (2005)

90 minutes

Directed by: Klaus Dexel (Germany)

In this compelling documentary, filmmaker Klaus Dexel sets out to discover the fate of Raoul Wallenberg, the young Swedish diplomat who, at the behest of his government and the US-backed War Refugee Board, helped save tens of thousands of Jews from certain death in Nazi occupied Hungary.

While Wallenberg's heroic efforts are now legendary, the strength of this feature-length documentary is the new and definitive light it sheds on the circumstances of his disappearance in Budapest following its liberation in 1945 by the Red Army, and his detention in the former Soviet Union, as well as his probable execution there in 1947.

Drawing on the testimony of many new, well-placed witnesses, researchers and previously unpublished archival material, KGB and prison files, and recent Swedish and Russian investigations - much of it presented here for the first time - the film paints a disturbing picture of the machinations and cold war manouverings that led to Wallenberg's arrest, imprisonment and abandonment by the Allies. As Stalin's personal hostage and trump card in his negotiations with the West, Wallenberg became one of the incipient Cold War's first victims.

This excellent film could be as close as we are going to get to a definitive film of this important subject.

If Only I Were an Indian (1995)

82 minutes

Directed by: John Paskievich (Canada)

If Only I Were an Indian follows three Native Americans (two Cree and one Ojibwa) from Manitoba, Canada as they travel to the former Czechoslovakia to meet several hundred Czechs and Slovaks who have set up a remarkable "Indian" community.

Wearing Indian dress and living in tee-pees, these central Europeans have adopted, to an amazing, almost obessive degree, the traditional cultures of nineteenth century North American Native Indians. Everything from play and recreation to religion and philosophy, from food preparation to child rearing is based on historic Native American models.

Inspired by the writings of the turn of the century Canadian naturalist, Ernest Thompson Seton, and his contemporary, the German novelist Karl May, these Czechs and Slovaks see Native Indian cultures as an alternative to what they consider to be the spiritual bankruptcy of modern day European civilization.

Astonishing, humourous, angry and poignant by turns, this beautiful film is a remarkable journey across continents, history, and cultures.

In the Land of the Deaf (1996)

99 minutes

Directed by: Nicholas Philibert (France)

In the Land of the Deaf is a critically acclaimed documentary feature which takes the viewer on a journey tbrough the world of silence inhabited by an estimated 130 million people worldwide, including one million Canadians alone.

This remarkable film invites the viewer into the world of Deaf language and culture. Whoever ventures into The Land of the Deaf will be struck by the choreographic beauty of the signs Deaf people use to express themselves. Since the beginning of time, these signs have constituted a true language in which each concept, each idea, is expressed as an image drawn in space and time. These signs, as precise and complex as any spoken language, lend themselves equally well to declrations of love or highly detailed technical descriptions.

As a visual language constructed over time and space, signing may be compared to cinema, using the individual sign or film frame as its basic building block. That is the artistic idea behind this warm and very entertaining film by Nicholas Philibert, whose previous films have collected over 25 awards.

Spoken in French and French sign language, In the Land of the Deaf is subtitled in English, making it accessible to all. The bulk of the film is compirsed of Deaf people telling about the richness of their normal lives in anecdotes which are often humourous and touching: the charismatic sign language teacher, the young Deaf boy struggling to speak, the wedding of a young Deaf couple. In short, In the Land of the Deaf is "completely inspiring" (Variety).

The White Balloon (1995)

85 minutes

Directed by: Jafar Panahi

The White Balloon takes place in downtown Tehran, on March 21st, New Year's Day, just hours before the city shuts down for a long holiday. The story follows the adventures of Razieh (AIDA MOHAMMADKHANI), an adorable, self-reliant seven-year-old whose heart is set on buying a particular plump, multi-finned goldfish for her family's New Year's ceremony. With her brother's help, she convinces her relunctant mother to relinquish he last bank note for the extravagant purchase. Instructed to return with plenty of change for their household necessitites, Razieh returns to the hectic marketplace to buy her special goldfish. But before she reaches the pet shop, a pair of crafty snake charmers promptly swindle her out of her bank note. She recovers her cash only to lose it again before reaching the pet shop. At the shop, a kind elderly woman helps the desparate child retrace her steps until she locates her money in an unreachable spot beneath a curbside cellar grate. As the surrounding vendors and merchants close shop for the holiday weekend, Razieh encounters and tries to enlist the assistance of a friendly soldier, an argumentative tailor, an Afghan balloon seller, and other grown-ups, none of whom seem to take seriously the magnitude of her predicament.

Filmed in real-time from the girl's perspective, this beautifully spare and emotional film is the promising directorial debut of Jafar Panahi. Winne of the Camera d'Or and co-winner of the International Critic's Prize at Cannes Film Festival, The White Balloon was acclaimed by audiences and critics at the Montreal, Tokyo, Toronto, Telluride and New York Film Festivals.
