O Que Me Faz Pular
Director
Uma experiência cinematográfica imersiva de pessoas autistas que não falam. O documentário é baseado em um livro escrito por Naoki Higashida quando ele tinha apenas 13 anos. O filme acompanha um jovem japonês em uma jornada por uma paisagem épica. Como um turbilhão de pensamentos, sentimentos, impulsos e memórias afeta todas as suas ações, ele gradualmente descobre o que seu autismo significa para ele, como sua percepção do mundo difere da dos outros e por que ele age dessa maneira.

Town Of Runners
Director
Documentary about athletic hopefuls from the Ethiopian village of Bekoji
Donor Unknown
Director
All JoEllen Marsh knew about her biological father was that he was Donor 150; but she wanted to know anything and everything she could about her father’s genealogy. Thanks to a social networking website called the Donor Sibling Registry designed specifically for donor offspring, that becomes a possibility. Marsh slowly unravels Donor 150′s side of her family tree; meeting, one-by-one, her new-found siblings and discovering a plethora of uncanny genetic similarities. (Donor 150 must have had some damn strong genes!) Marsh and her siblings would like to meet the man from whom these common genes were inherited. A New York Times article about Marsh caught Donor 150′s eye, and the rest is history…
Men Who Swim
Executive Producer
Men Who Swim is a humorous and poignant look at a group of middle aged men who have found unlikely success as members of Sweden's all male synchronized swimming team. What began as a weekly escape from the daily grind of work and family responsibilities, gradually evolved into a more serious commitment. Inspired by classical Esther Williams techniques from the 1950s, this group of train drivers and meat buyers, archivists and teachers soon became passionate exponents of the sport.
Heavy Load
Director
Documentary about punk band Heavy Load, subject to the combustible flux of ego, ambition, fantasy, expectation and desire that fuels any emerging band, but uniquely made up of musicians with and without learning disabilities. This makes the band's survival a precarious negotiation between two different worlds - on the one hand the institutional timetable of day centres, work placements and social workers and, on the other, the chaotic slacker life of rehearsal rooms, studios and gigs. (Storyville)
Deep Water
Director
DEEP WATER is the stunning true story of the fateful voyage of Donald Crowhurst, an amateur yachtsman who enters the most daring nautical challenge ever – the very first solo, non-stop, round-the-world boat race.
