Continuação do aclamado documentário “O Ato de Matar”. Aqui, uma família que sobreviveu ao genocídio na Indonésia confronta os homens que mataram um de seus irmãos. Através do documentário de Joshua Oppenheimer, filmando os responsáveis pelo genocídio indonésio, uma família de sobreviventes descobre como é que o filho foi assassinado e a identidade dos homens que o mataram. O mais novo dos irmãos está determinado a quebrar o feitiço de silêncio e medo sob o qual vivem os sobreviventes e, assim, confronta os homens responsáveis pelo assassinato do irmão – algo inimaginável num país onde os assassinos permanecem no poder.

Once described by the press as "one of the most controversial figures on the Australian art scene", avant-garde poet and playwright Christopher Barnett achieved a level of notoriety in the Melbourne underground theatre scene during the ‘70s and ‘80s, before self-exiling to France. He remains there today, running an experimental theatre lab working with the marginalised and underprivileged, applauded by the establishment (including former French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault) and faithful to his belief that art can change the world. These Heathen Dreams is an intimate portrait of Barnett's life and revolutionary philosophy. Combining archival footage dating back to the ‘60s with contemporary observational documentation and text from Barnett's writings, it is a poignant and inspiring study of the power of both art and political activism.
Stephen Cummings is one of Australia's most revered rock 'n' roll icons. Rising to fame as frontman of ‘70s legends The Sports, he has spent more than 30 years at the forefront of the local music scene, forging a reputation both as one of Australian rock's greatest lyrical storytellers and also one of its most incendiary critics. Based on his scathing tell-all memoir Will It Be Funny Tomorrow, Billy?, Don't Throw Stones tells Cummings' story in his own words – as well as the words of those he has so gleefully skewered. Featuring interviews with Michael Gudinski, Steve Kilbey, Joe Camilleri and many more, Don't Throw Stones is a revealing portrait of three decades of rock-world gossip, larger-than-life personalities and good, old-fashioned artistic beef.
