After André Levesque missionnaire, Oksana Karpovych is back at the RIDM with her first feature, which she filmed in her native country, Ukraine. To take the pulse of the country, the filmmaker adopts one of documentary cinema’s most prolific sub-genres: the train film. Filmed entirely in the old, run-down, overcrowded passenger trains used by ordinary Ukrainians, the film captures conversations, observes the landscape, and accompanies several protagonists on their journey; they open our eyes to popular preoccupations in a country that seems perpetually anchored in its highly visible Soviet legacy. A fine lesson in listening and humanity.

This documentary journeys to the kitchens of Peru's coast, highlands and jungle, as well as Peruvian expat communities in Paris, London, Amsterdam and New York for answers. From the most humble family kitchens to the poshest restaurants, from stories of pioneering Peruvian chefs abroad to those who preserve ancient recipes at home, we find that Peru's cuisine is deliciously integrating for its people, who have historically been marked by ethnic and economic differences. Renowned chefs such as Gaston Acurio, Ferran Adria, Juan Mari Arzak and Bernardo Roca Rey share their views on Peru's cuisine alongside those unsung chefs, who also dream of Peru's cuisine as a motor of development.

Olho de Boi é uma livre recriação da tragédia de Édipo Rei transposta para um sertão próximo do território humano e literário onde habitam os personagens do mestre Guimarães Rosa. Modesto (Genézio de Barros) e seu protegido Cirineu (Gustavo Machado) são dois peões de fazenda que se embrenham na noite em busca de vingança. Modesto sofre com a suspeita criada pela revelação que Cirineu lhe faz. Sua mulher Evangelina (Angelina Muniz) o está traindo com seu próprio irmão. Fato ou não, a dúvida, o ódio, a mágoa, o ciúme e o amor formam um amálgama de sentimentos que confundem a razão e cegam a verdade. Tudo está refletido no olho escuro de um boi e no olhar cego de um Deus mudo.

Humorous, satirical and cleverly constructed début by Steinberg slowly but surely knots together seven stories from everyday Brazilian life. It all comes down to money, money, money: from the Indians who want to be paid for their rain dance to the politician who just can't help winning the lottery, time and again.

Uma tradição de três décadas é o ponto de partida do documentário 'Preto contra Branco'. O filme discute o preconceito racial no Brasil, usando como referência um 'clássico' do futebol de várzea entre moradores de dois bairros periféricos de São Paulo. Desde 1972, um grupo de moradores do bairro de São João Clímaco e da favela de Heliópolis organiza um jogo de futebol de brancos contra negros no final de semana que antecede o Natal. Em uma comunidade altamente miscigenada, composta basicamente por mulatos, a peculiaridade da partida é a autoatribuição da raça pelo participante. Cada jogador se declara negro ou branco e 'escolhe seu time'. A equipe do documentário passou uma semana entrevistando personagens, acompanhando o dia a dia dos bairros, em um processo que culmina no jogo. Trata-se de um ritual, no sentido antropológico, que serve para atenuar as tensões raciais locais ao mesmo tempo em que acaba por revelá-las.
