Америка середины 70-х годов. Главный герой, Скотт Бартлетт — среднестатистический подросток, фанатеющий от «Звездных войн» и тихо чахнущий от любви к соседке Адрианне. Внезапная возникшая и стремительно распространившаяся эпидемия болезни Лайма вносит свои коррективы в размеренную жизнь тихого пригорода. Америку охватывает настоящая паранойя. Одной из жертв эпидемии становится семья Адрианны. Ее отец вынужден из-за болезни уйти с работы. Чтобы содержать семью, мать Адрианны устраивается на фирму отца Скотта и между ними вспыхивает роман, который окончательно хоронит шансы на то, что все, в конце концов, как-нибудь само собой образуется.
Неожиданный и неоднозначный взгляд на историю развития цивилизации. Программа раскрывает огромный риск, которому подвергает себя человечество, когда использует современное программное обеспечение в применении к примитивному древнему «компьютеру», коим является наш мозг, практически не изменившийся за 50 тысяч лет. Мы отправимся в грандиозное путешествие, чтобы проследить свой путь от обитателя пещер до покорителя космоса. Рональд Райт - автор бестселлера «Краткая история прогресса», положенного в основу фильма – демонстрирует, с какой регулярностью человечество наступает на грабли прогресса: придумав технологию для сегодняшней потребности, оно завтра же вынуждено расплачиваться за содеянное. В фильм вошли поучительные сюжеты о китайском автомобильном клубе, об акулах большого бизнеса с Уолл-стрит и экологической полиции, которая пытается спасти леса в бассейне Амазонки. Современной цивилизации грозит гибель от чрезмерного потребления, а другой планеты в запасе у нас нет.
"Origins" takes a journey through the biological roots of where we have come from and where we have gone. Using fire as a metaphor for technology, the film looks at the advances of our civilization and how the recklessness of unchecked technology is now choking out the environment and poisoning our bodies. Interviews with the biggest names in the health and green space create compelling context and arguments for how we can better coexist with nature. "Origins" shows how man, technology, and nature can walk together in balance.

Architect, engineer, geometrician, cartographer, philosopher, futurist, inventor of the famous geodesic dome and one of the most brilliant thinkers of his time. Fuller was renowned for his comprehensive perspective on the world's problems. For more than five decades he developed pioneering solutions reflecting his commitment to the potential of innovative design to create technology that does "more with less" and thereby improve human lives. He spent much of his life traveling the world lecturing and discussing his ideas with thousands of audiences. Now more relevant than ever, this film captures Fuller's ideas and thinking told in his own words.

This political documentary by Hady Zaccak delves into the world of Lebanese Shiites through interviews with three Shiite youths, each with a different political and ideological affiliation, in addition to a very valuable interview with late Shiite cleric Sayyed Hani Fahs.

In this video, the artist tries to overcome the effects of distance, and reflects on geography represented in exile due to war, and on the psychological distance represented in each one’s approach to her womanhood. The video beautifully weaves personal images and audio recordings of a very intimate nature, binding the personal with the political. Reading aloud from letters sent by her mother in Beirut, Hatoum creates a visual montage reflecting her feelings of separation and isolation from her Palestinian family. The personal and political are inextricably bound in a narrative that explores personal and family identity against a backdrop of traumatic social rupture, exile and displacement.

This documentary presents the scientific facts behind the issue of peat haze as well as points of view and opinions from local and regional stakeholders. The burning of the peat forests throughout tropical Southeast Asia creates pollution, and this posed significant challenges to human health and the economies of the region during the second decade of the 21st century. The problem of peat haze pollution has been somewhat mitigated in recent years but in spite of this positive progress a few of the critical issues are yet to be solved. A complete solution to this complex issue will not be a simple one.
