Poster for Disgraced Heaven

2017 · ★ 0.0 (0)

"A couple with some issues has just moved into the town. Driving through the town, they saw many “weird” people from a car window. They began to wonder why they had decided to come to this place. They stepped in an old Chinese restaurant and...? This is a story about the "Disgraced Heaven" for the failures, a only utopia in a hellhole." -UMMMI.

Whether it's the appalling conditions in turkey fattening, the massive use of antibiotics in poultry farming or the improper killing of cattle - meat producers are under fire. In addition, feed exports from third world countries lead to hunger and misery there and meat exports to Africa destroy local markets.

Poster for An Island Calling

2009 · ★ 1.0 (2)

The brutal murder of John Scott, Head of Fiji’s Red Cross, and his gay partner is still clouded in rumour and political mystery. In a country that has become increasingly fundamentalist, many regarded the couple with hostility. Allegations of drug use, pornography and rent boys circled. Shortly before his death, Scott came to international acclaim helping hostages during the 2000 coup. Was his murder a political assassination; the result of a soured love affair or an act of insanity? This award winning documentary uses the murders to examine Fiji’s history over the past 50 years. Narrated by Scott’s brother, it’s a moving tale of colonial privilege, evangelical Christianity and a country still deeply divided.

Poster for Laughing Matters... More!

2006 · ★ 0.8 (3)

Laughing Matters...More! is a reality-based romp that blends the routines from four of lesbian stand-up comics with personal interviews. It features Elvira Kurt, a Second City alum named Canadian Female Comic of the Year and writer for Ellen DeGeneres; Sabrina Matthews, a regularly featured performer on Comedy Central; Renee Hicks, the first African- American woman nominated Best Female Stand-up at the American Comedy Awards; and the Southern-Baptist-lesbian-mom-turned-crossover-comic, Vickie Shaw. This film takes a "reality" approach to showcasing the comics, capturing their on-stage performances, and their personas off-stage in behind-the-scenes footage, one-on-one interviews and recurring segments where all four converge for spontaneous and improvised discourse.

8 young musicians from all over the world took a road trip across South Africa, arriving in Cape Town ahead of the World Economic Forum. They were there to raise awareness about the half a million women who die from pregnancy and childbirth related causes each year. For many of them, it was their first time in Africa, and for all of them, it was the first time they'd met each other. As they traveled, they performed gigs in orphanages, schools and town halls, meeting, collaborating and learning from the South Africans who came to watch them play.

2018 · ★ 0.0 (0)

The Chilean Atacama desert provides the backdrop for a series of static shots that foreground emptiness. The natural setting becomes a mental space.

Poster for Plantation Memories: Part I

2015 · ★ 0.0 (0)

An exploration of everyday racism reveals how much this places the black subject in a colonial setting where they once again are reduced to the subordinate, exotic 'Other'. Racism allows the past to suddenly line up with the present, and the present is experienced as if one were being catapulted back into that painful past.
