    Keywords: Kensal Green Cemetery (London, England) ; Bereavement ; Cemeteries ; South Africa ; Nonfiction films.
    Abstract: Cemeteries are not only places for the dead. They are also spaces in which the living interact with each other-- and with the dead. "Cultivating Death" depicts the different ways in which bereaved people remember and commemorate their deceased family members and friends, by visiting and tending their graves at a Victorian cemetery in London. It is a common belief in the West that the bereaved have to 'let go' and 'get over the loss' of their deceased kin, in order to return to a 'normal' life. In contrast to these cultural norms, many survivors maintain strong social relationships with their dead. "Cultivating Death" portrays some visitors of Kensal Green Cemetery in West-London, as they actively sustain these continuing bonds by arranging and tending the graves of their deceased, talking to them and bringing them gifts. They thereby speak frankly about this important aspect of their mourning for which the cemetery constitutes a unique environment.

    Keywords: Himba (African people) ; South Africa ; Documentary films.
    Abstract: In the pristine valley of the Kunene River, Namibia, the nomadic Himba people face an abrupt threat to their pastoral lifestyle: the Namibian Government wish to create an energy superhighway by building a dam and flooding the Himba's homeland. In response, the Himba people mount a spectacular resistance campaign, which lasts seven years. The film traces a journey into the memory and landscape of the nomadic Himba people. Guided by their oral history and rich ancestral tradition they resist the development of the dam scheme. Confronted with the completeness of their existence, the film poses questions about first world development and our own fragmented modern world.

    Keywords: Arranged marriage. ; Marriage ; Women Social conditions. ; Women Social life and customs. ; Women's rights ; South Africa ; Documentary films.
    Abstract: The Mughals are a middle class family of ten living in Quetta, one of Pakistan's most culturally conservative cities. The two eldest children, Ilyas and Yasmin, are celebrating their engagements during the same week. But the two could not be more different. Ilyas is following tradition and marrying a woman he has never met. His candid comments about his engagement offer insight into the often misunderstood custom of arranged marriage, but the fear on his young bride-to-be's face tells a story in itself. Yasmin, his sister, is determined to make her own decisions. University educated, she drives a car and pursues a career in a society where women need permission to leave their home.She has chosen her own fiance, although getting her family's approval was not easy. Sibling rivalry, disapproving neighbors and lively family debate punctuate this up-close look at a family undergoing social change.

    Keywords: Autonomy Case studies. ; Democracy Case studies. ; Indians of Mexico Government relations. ; Totonac Indians Political activity. ; Huehuetla (Puebla, Mexico) Politics and government. ; South Africa ; Nonfiction films.
    Abstract: This film examines the indigenous rights revolution sweeping Mexico through the municipal elections in Huehuetla, Puebla. In 1989, the Huehuetla Totonacs formed the Organización Independiente Totonaca (OIT), and joined in an electoral alliance with the Partido de la Revolución Democratica (PRD). For ten years the OIT and the PRD carried out a non-violent revolution. The visible signs of this Totonac renaissance are the health clinics, schools, roads, drinking water and electricity. But the real change is in the new self-confidence and pride of the Totonacs themselves. The camera follows Cruz Garcia, an "expatriate" Totonac, as he returns to his community.
