В конце двадцатого века оказывается, что в Нью — Йорке живут не только обычные граждане, но и… привидения.

Толчком к созданию «Когда наступает “сейчас”» послужило любительское видео, снятое матерью режиссера в Китае в 1966 г. Ее путешествие пришлось на время первого, самого радикального этапа «культурной революции». Кадры из Китая соседствуют с архивными изображениями событий 1968 г. во Франции, Чехословакии и, в меньшей степени, Бразилии. Работая с архивными материалами в традиции фильма-эссе, режиссер прослеживает, что стало с участниками тех событий после того, как страсти улеглись. Фильм наводит на размышления о хрупкой и мимолетной природе наиболее ярких и напряженных моментов истории и жизни.

A rose is a rose by any other name would be, well, something different, particularly if the rose was a woman. This tape is a witty and thoughtful exploration of naming and the importance of names in knowing who you are and where you come from, particularly in a world where you meet so many people but get to know so few. Christine Stewart s teasing voiceover and sly visuals slip between the pages of the phone book to provide a cunning directory to the loss of women's names, the anonymity that makes them feel safe and the eclipse of their identity in shedding their maiden names. Rich colours, great found footage and insightful musing open up traces of history in the story behind Jane Doe.

A film essay investigating the question of what “the West” means beyond the cardinal direction: a model of society inscribed itself in the Federal Republic of Germany’s postwar history and architecture.

What begins as an enquiry on things that mean other things itself becomes a thing that means other things, too. And whatever exactly that thing is, the latest by one of Canada’s most ingenious auteurs is another astounding feat of cerebral and cinephilic dexterity.

Two quotes from Paul Valéry: "Humanity is threatened by two dangers: order and disorder." and "Nothing is more contrary to your nature than to see things as they are."

The sarcastic account of the assassination of five Spanish politicians between 1870 and 1973 is mixed with the narration of five short stories by Edgar Allan Poe illustrated by five skillful pencil artists.
