An ethereal trip, created using archival footage, subverts past expectations and defines the road ahead for two adventurous sisters.

With Australia at war in Vietnam in 1967, suddenly Prime Minister Harold Holt disappeared without a trace—an event unparalleled in the history of western democracy. Four decades later, a coronial inquiry confirmed that Harold Holt had accidentally drowned. Some people may still believe that Holt was a spy and fled to China in a submarine. But most suspect there was more to his disappearance than has ever been revealed. Reconstructed from eyewitness accounts, this dramatised documentary tells the story of the Prime Minister's secret world in the months before he disappeared — a world of betrayal, blackmail, political treachery, a poisonous feud, mounting physical and mental strain, and near-death experiences. Featuring Normie Rowe as Harold Holt, Nicholas Hope as William McMahon and Tony Llewellyn-Jones as John McEwen, this film reveals explosive new aspects of the case.

Conocido por la realización de éxitos como "El sexto sentido", "Señales" o "El protegido", el guionista, productor y director de cine de origen indio, M. Night Shyamalan, es el creador de un mundo etéreo de suspense, sólo comparable al suyo propio. "El secreto de M. Night Shyamalan" es un thriller al estilo de la película "El Proyecto de la bruja de Blair", que muestra a un personaje rodeado de secretos. El documental se inicia cuando el director, Nathaniel Khan, trata de entrevistarlo durante el rodaje de "El bosque". El equipo se traslada al lugar y, mientras espera, recoge con sus cámaras los misterios que lo rodean. En el documental tratan de hacer creer al espectador que Shyamalan posee poderes, curiosamente, los mismos que algunos de sus personajes; aderezado con entrevistas supuestamente no autorizadas a actores de la talla de Johnny Depp, o la supuesta foto fantasma en la que Shyamalan sale algo borroso.
How does art survive in a time of oppression? During the Soviet rule artists who stay true to their vision are executed, sent to mental hospitals or Gulags. Their plight inspires young Igor Savitsky. He pretends to buy state-approved art but instead daringly rescues 40,000 forbidden fellow artist's works and creates a museum in the desert of Uzbekistan, far from the watchful eyes of the KGB. Though a penniless artist himself, he cajoles the cash to pay for the art from the same authorities who are banning it. Savitsky amasses an eclectic mix of Russian Avant-Garde art. But his greatest discovery is an unknown school of artists who settle in Uzbekistan after the Russian revolution of 1917, encountering a unique Islamic culture, as exotic to them as Tahiti was for Gauguin. They develop a startlingly original style, fusing European modernism with centuries-old Eastern traditions.

A fascinating hybrid of performance and video verité, The Continuing Story of Carel and Ferd introduces Carel and Ferd, a couple who allowed Ginsberg to produce an ongoing documentary record of the intimate moments of their relationship. Carel, a porn actress, and Ferd, a drug addict, invite the camera to participate in their wedding, their sex life, and their break-up. Produced before the landmark PBS documentary An American Family introduced television audiences to the live-in camera — and many decades before the ubiquity of reality television — this document raises questions about the relationship between subject and camera, privacy and manipulation. Originally presented as an installation, this one-hour version, which includes interviews with Carel, Ferd and Ginsberg, was distilled from thirty hours of footage recorded from 1970 to 1975. - Electronic Arts Intermix
