    Abstract: Hidden in the mountains of Western North Carolina, Black Mountain College (1933 - 1957) was an influential experiment in education that inspired and shaped twentieth century American art. Fully Awake Black Mountain College is a documentary film that explores the college's progressive pedagogy and radical approach to arts education. Highly democratic and faculty-owned, the school promoted practical responsibilities and the creative arts as equally important components to intellectual development.

    Abstract: Caodaists worship the left eye as an Asian synthesis of eastern and western traditions. In this film, they tell their stories of exile, anti-colonial struggle, and building immigrant congregations in California. Footage of rituals and temples, and archival images combine to provide a personal perspective on a largely unknown mystical tradition. Older religious leaders tell how this new faith emerged in colonial Saigon in the 1920s and was soon followed by one in four people in southern Vietnam.

    Keywords: Greenland. ; Canada ; Documentary films.
    Abstract: The people of East Greenland inhabit a small string of coastal land at the edge of the biggest island of the world. Long winters have always shaped daily life here, a life that has gone within a few generations from earth house to modernity, complete with helicopters, satellite TV and alcohol. This documentary shows us East Greenland today, the village in summer and winter, the family between seal hunting and computer games. It lets us experience in clear and poetical scenes normality in an extraordinary world, quietly observing events, faces, gestures that combine to form a portrait that is at the same time strange and strangely familiar.

    Abstract: In 1996, the state-funded Woodlands Country Primary School in Gillingham, Kent, UK was situated in one of the most socio-economically deprived areas outside the inner cities. Pupil places were under-subscribed 160 out of a possible 240 capacity. Subjected to years of neglect through Council underinvestment, its underachieving students aged 4 - 11 years were destined to be filtered through into similarly poor secondary schools and a life of mediocrity.

    Keywords: Scully, Sean, ; Short films. ; Painting. ; Bhutan ; Documentary films.
    Abstract: In 1997 Robert Gardner visited friend and well-known American painter Sean Scully in his Barcelona studio. He documented the making of two paintings, Testigos and Passenger, and the opening of “Sean Scully 1987-1997” at Salas del Palacio Episcopal in Malaga. This video, an important document of an influential modern artist, brings together the three short films made during that summer. Testigos - 10 minutes: Testigos is a small painting done when Gardner and Scully worked together in Barcelona. The title, which means 'witnesses,' is the name of a small island in the Caribbean. Testigos, and at least one other painting, was made on the days that the larger canvas Passenger was drying. Passenger - 25 minutes: In Passenger, Gardner made what he calls “an observation in four movements.” The intent of the piece is to impart an experience of the engagement by Scully with the work in question, an engagement which is both physical and emotional. The only sounds are those made by the artist as he works and, occasionally, musical passages from tapes Scully listens to while he is painting. Scully in Malaga - 7 minutes: A short film acknowledging the efforts of those responsible for installing the exhibition “Sean Scully 1987-1997” in Malaga. Equally important, the film captures Scully's parents dancing their beloved 'paso doble' in the midst of their son's work.

    Keywords: Nomads. ; Tribes. ; China. ; Mongolia. ; Siberia (Russia) ; Canada ; Documentary films.
    Abstract: Situated between Siberia and China, Mongolia and the lives of its inhabitants have always been conditioned by the climate. The endless winters make farming practically impossible and endanger any livestock. That is why Mongolia has always been home to nomads, although, throughout the 20th Century, and especially for political reasons, the old customs of the descendants of Genghis Khan were threatened. In this episode of The Tower of Babel we will search for the roots of the Mongols' nomadic culture with a family of camel drivers in the Gobi Desert; a group of Nenets, a tribe that always lives on the edges of winter; a community of Buriat cattle breeders; and a group of Kazakh falconers who wander the icy plains on horseback, carrying their fascinating golden eagles on their arms.

    Abstract: Peru is the South American country where the importance of its traditions is most evident. When the Spanish conquistadors arrived here, the indigenous cultures were greatly endangered. The Andean peoples lost their lands, they were forbidden to speak their language, and even their gods were prohibited. A tour through the history of Peru will allow us to discover the various cultures that lived there prior to the arrival of the Spaniards, as well as the ways in which their customs and beliefs have survived. In this episode of The Tower of Babel, we will search for the children of the Sun God and the Pacha Mama, and to that end we will visit Macchu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, and the peaks of the Andes. In the tiny villages on the high plains we will witness ancestral rites and practices that have survived to our times by hiding their pre-Columbian essence under the appearance of Catholic ceremonies.

    Keywords: Manners and customs. ; Tribes ; Papua New Guinea. ; Canada ; Documentary films.
    Abstract: Travelling to Papua New Guinea is like stepping back in time; a long journey to the Neolithic. It may be the only place in the world where fire is set by natural means, where stone axes are used and where thousands of people die each year by arrow wounds. In Papua more than a thousand ethnic groups still live together, and more than 700 hundred different languages are spoken. In this documentary we will travel from Port Moresby, the capital to find the most extraordinary and singular minority tribes: the Mud-men, who dress up as spirits to frighten their enemies away; the Engas, the head-choppers who mummify their deceased by smoking them; the Hulis, furious warriors who paint their faces in yellow to create panic; or the Crocodile-men, who mutilate their bodies with hundreds of cuts in their skin to make them look like their Crocodile Gods. The Sepik river, the Highlands and the dense forests will be the settings where we will travel through this documentary.

    Abstract: They cross the Himalayas every year with their heavy-loaded yacks in search of salt. They are the Dolpo. Our film crews have accompanied them on a crazy journey; one that is not suitable for those afraid of heights. Undoubtedly, the Dolpo are the nomadic people who risk their lives the most in order to survive. The basin of the Cauca river in Venezuela has the most extensive untouched jungles of South America. Near its spectacular waterfalls, we find the Sanama Indians, who still live isolated from the world. We will learn the secrets of this virgin jungle through them. In the darkness of the forest, we will witness Shamanic rituals in which sacona, a powerful hallucinogen, is consumed. The Cazajo are the nomads found in the Altai Mountains, on the border of Kazakhstan. They are expert falconers; and they continue to hunt with their eagles as they did in time immemorial. They live in comfortable yurtas, circular homes covered with felt, which protect them from the extreme cold of the winter. Our crew filmed the wolf hunts. The Ando travel through Tiber with their herds of sheep. In the distance they appear at the foot of the mountains like slow moving snowflakes. They are true mountain shepherds who defy the abysses to feed their herds. In the south of Niger, we met the mysterious Bororo. A Fulani group coexists with the Tuareg people since yesteryear. They practice an extreme worship of beauty. In their Worso festival, the men get overly spruced up in order to surprise the women. Their eyes and teeth are shiny white. Their gestures and facial expressions accentuate their fine delicate features.

    Keywords: Child soldiers. ; History ; Bhutan ; Documentary films.
    Abstract: Returned follows several Nepali child soldiers including Asha, a young Nepali girl, who was sent home from the Maoists' People's Liberation Army after the ceasefire. Asha joined the Maoist army when she was 14-years-old. For this young low caste girl, joining the Maoists was a pathway to a future with education and employment. Despite two years of being on the frontlines, her biggest concern was what would await her when she returned home. Would she turn to commercial sex work, become a domestic slave, or would she be banished from her home and forced into marriage?
    Abstract: Long version: Imagine being forced to leave your family and fight in war you don't understand - and you are only eleven years old. Sadly, for many of these child soldiers in Nepal this is a reality and the peace process has not solved their problems. These children quickly discovered that the return home is even more painful than the experience of war.

    Abstract: The Peul or Fulani live on the African Sahel strip. They are also called 'the men of oxen.' Of uncertain and mysterious origin; they feel strongly about beauty. In the heart of the Venezuelan jungle, we film the Hoti Indians for the first time. Our crew went up the Parusito River to its headwaters and found a group of these Indians. There are only 200 of them left and this was a true journey through the tunnel of time back to the Neolithic period. In Mongolia, on the backs of 3 horses, the film crews of Explora Films travel to the Taiga to meet the Tsaatan, a group of nomads who live on deer, in one of the most extreme climates of the planet. In the North of Australia, we visited the last strongholds of Aborigines. We will enter the era of dreams with them, and we will learn the system of symbols of their paintings -true encrypted maps of Australia. At 5,000 meters about sea level, we reach the Khamba. They are easily recognized by their black tents and large herds of yaks. They are nomads found at the top of the world. They are deeply religious. They live in constant prayer, while surviving in one of the most remote enclaves of China.

    Abstract: Reporting the devastation, forced displacement, and genocide in Darfur should be a story with daily coverage. Mere mention of the word Darfur should set off a passionate exchange, or at least the question, What can be done? Unfortunately, the people of Darfur struggle with a problem common to so many victimized by geo-political realities how to overcome the willful indifference of powerful government and media interests who find their story unimportant or merely inconvenient. With images and first-hand accounts, filmmaker Mark Brecke shares his experience of the Darfur crisis with Amtrak train passengers journeying eastward on a three day trip to Washington D.C. Their reactions, interwoven with hard facts and expert opinion, raise the central question in They Turned Our Desert Into Fire - Why does the public not understand the severity of this crisis and how can the world continue to do nothing? In addition to the film and a slideshow of Brecke's photographs, this video also contains the short film War as a Second Language (27 min., 2002). Mark Brecke culled from 15 years of newsreels, documentaries, and raw footage of the Vietnam War to create an audio track which he then juxtaposed with moving and still images he shot in Vietnam and Cambodia in 1995. Tourists replace soldiers and the audio design becomes a haunting and evocative narrative about history and the legacies of war.

    Abstract: In India water has a deep spiritual and functional significance. The Rising Wave explores both these aspects; worshipped as a sacred common while also being essential for generating livelihood. The film eloquently presents a culture built on water being shared, used and managed in ways unchanged for centuries. Richly filmed in three different states of India, The Rising Wave uncovers groups that have been dependant on their local natural water resource for generations as they fish and farm for livelihood. In the rapidly transforming economy of India, corporations now lay claim to control and determine access to this natural resource. A contrasting picture emerges; a contrast between the two divergent views of water; water as a billion dollar industry against water as a sacred natural gift for all humankind. This spells conflict for the future.

    Abstract: In the deepest part of the central African jungle, we coexist with the Baka Pygmies - an authentic journey back to our pre-history. The Baka continue to travel through the jungle with ember, to preserve the fire, and they continue to sharpen their teeth to better chew the meat of the prey they hunt in the jungle. The Tibetan bee keepers have a very peculiar nomadic life. They travel pursuing flowers. In Tibet, the flowering season takes place during different months, based on the height above sea level of the lands. These bee keepers climb up and down all year long in search of pollen for their insects. The Bahau are water nomads. They live on the islands of Sulawesi and never step foot on land. Everything they do takes place on board their small boats. It is difficult for some to walk due to the time they spend with their legs bent. We will fish for sponges and we will visit their fish farms with them. In central Mongolia we find the Darkhad nomads. Ninety percent of the Mongol population is still nomadic. They move their camps eight times a year. We will attend their Shamanic cults and we will travel with them through the vast steppes.

    Abstract: The Tuareg, also known as the 'Blue People', have always been the lords of the desert. Our crews find them in northern Niger, during the season in which their large camel caravans plough through the dunes of Tenere to gather salt from the salt marshes of Bilma. From the small towns of Charazani and Curva, hidden in the remote gorges of the Andean mountains of Apolobamba, the Callahuayas set off on journeys that last up to two years. They are witch doctors who travel the American continent with the mission to cure sick people. We witness the return of a caravan of these sacred wizards. In India, we travel together with the Holy Men. They are the Sadhus. They live a life of wandering as they move from one temple to the next, preaching in the towns. Everyone lay flat on the ground as they pass, although they practice another religion. The jungle in the south of Ecuador and the north of Peru is inhabited by the feared Huaorani. There are still Huaorani tribes today with whom no one has ever made contact. They are feared on account of their poisoned darts. They live isolated, although many have adapted to the influences of the surrounding culture. The Chinese province of Qinghai, at 5,000 meters above sea level, is inhabited by the Golokpa. They still ride through the plateaus, with their traditional dresses decorated with snow leopard skins. They continue to be rooted to their nomadic customs. Their portable homes are always guarded by the fierce Tibetan mastiffs.

    Abstract: This is the story of that brass band, a brass band that isn't at all like a military band. It's a dancing brass band, an African brass band, that accompanies all the big and little moments of life: national festivals, religious ceremonies, funerals, fetes and celebrations, a musical game involving a football, tunes from the famous Mapuka dance, or the experimental use of sacred drums together with the brass band. A lively debate between the musicians, in which a sense of humor is clearly present, as they examine fundamental questions about their tradition and its transformations in the context of the life of people today. This film was shot in July and August 2002, a few weeks before the outbreak of civil war in the Côte d'Ivoire.

    Abstract: In the barren landscape of remote western Tibet lies the ruins of a mysterious kingdom. A kingdom whose capital was 3600 meters high on the Tibetan plateau. A kingdom that offers archaeological treasures that compare with Italy's Pompeii. This kingdom once controlled the trade in gold, silk and spices between India and China. It was a kingdom of fabulous wealth and great religious significance. For two centuries it was the cradle of Himalayan Buddhism. Yet this spiritual and commercial hub, which prospered for seven centuries, vanished without a trace in 1630. Until now the mystery of what was the Tibetan kingdom of Guge has remained unresolved. The Italian archaeologist Guiseppe Tucci was the first to investigate the existence of the Guge kingdom in the early 1930's. Since then, the extraordinary altitude, hostile terrain and political upheaval have made sure that only a select few have travelled to the region to make serious study. Guge - Lost Kingdom of Tibet journeys to to the extreme corner of West Tibet with two of the world's experts, Tibetan historian Tsering Gyalpo and American archaeologist John Bellezza. Their aim is to unravel this mystery.

    Abstract: "Business Process Outsourcing" is the fastest growing industry in the world. In India, approximately 350,000 people are currently working in call centres to maintain the contact between western companies and their customers. Vikhee Uppal is one of them. From a busy office in Calcutta, he pretends to be a guy named Ethan Reed and calls Americans, Brits and Australians to try and sell them cell phones and subscriptions. Vikhee hopes to make it in this sector. On the bulletin board, we see that he and his colleagues keep track of who sells the most. The Americans are the most impolite: they yell at the salespeople and hang up on them. The English, on the contrary, are the most willing to listen to their sales pitch. Even though Vikhee pretends to be a westerner at work, Indian traditions remain very important for him. He wants to get married to a girl from Punjab, and if he doesn't succeed, his family will find a bride for him. At work, Vekhee gets tutored in English. Each night, he watches English soccer matches to see what the people on the other end of the line actually look like.
