США лидируют в мире по числу убийств с применением огнестрельного оружия. Стволов в стране больше, чем телевизоров. Американцы не могут жить без оружия или просто сошли с ума? Кто или что стоит за этим? Расовые проблемы, которые ещё предстоит решить? Голливуд, рок-н-ролл, Интернет? А может, историческая предрасположенность к насилию? В центре фильма — трагический инцидент: перестрелка в колледже Колумбины. Спорный, глубокий, порой ехидный взгляд на взаимосвязь насилия и страха в современной Америке.

Nearly 100 years after its creation, the power of the U.S. Federal Reserve has never been greater. Markets and governments around the world hold their breath in anticipation of the Fed Chairman's every word. Yet the average person knows very little about the most powerful - and least understood - financial institution on earth. Narrated by Liev Schreiber, Money For Nothing is the first film to take viewers inside the Fed and reveal the impact of Fed policies - past, present, and future - on our lives. Join current and former Fed officials as they debate the critics, and each other, about the decisions that helped lead the global financial system to the brink of collapse in 2008. And why we might be headed there again.

"Коянискацци" (Koyaanisqatsi; Жизнь, выведенная из равновесия) - документальный фильм Годфри Реджио с музыкой композитора-минималиста Филипа Гласса и киносъёмками Рона Фрика. Лента содержит большое количество фрагментов, снятых по технологии замедленной киносъёмки. Фильм полностью лишён дикторского текста и актёрской речи, однако его музыкальное оформление, на которое опирается сюжет, занимает в повествовании такое же значение, как и видеоряд, и, фактически, создаёт атмосферу фильма. Это первый из трилогии фильмов "Кацци", показывающей с различных сторон взаимодействие человека и технологии. Более десятилетия из-за лицензионных ограничений фильм "Коянискацци" не издавался, так как Филип Гласс и его ансамбль гастролировали с ним, вживую исполняя музыку прямо перед киноэкраном во время показов.

Jardín en el Mar is the story of an exceptional project. Several years ago, a group of enthusiastic and committed people started to work for the protection of the Islands in the Sea of Cortez in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Thanks to this effort all the Islands became a UNESCO world heritage side, but the story of Espíritu Santo island is especially remarkable. It was bought back from different owners and donated to the people of Mexico for its conservation in perpetuity. To celebrate the success of all the efforts and to remind people of our close relation to the ocean, renowned Spanish artist Cristina Iglesias was asked to make a piece of art for the Island. Cristina decided to create a "Garden in the Sea", a labyrinth-like setting of various screens sunk into the sea, that nature will grow over, generating marine life.

This feature documentary provides a gripping retrospective of United States-Canada relationships through a study of successive presidents and prime ministers. Using archival film footage, it demonstrates that Canadian prime ministers, from John A. Macdonald down, all began their tenures by making overtures to their American counterparts. Attitudes and outcomes have varied widely. The almost comic antipathy between Kennedy and Diefenbaker, for instance, is as palpable here as is the folksy camaraderie of Reagan and Mulroney.
