- Beneath the Helmet: From High School to the Home Front is a coming of age story that highlights five young Israeli high school graduates, who are drafted into the army to defend their country. At the age of 18, away from their houses, family, and friends these young individuals undergo a demanding journey, revealing the core of who they are and who they want to be. From the creators of the PBS-featured documentary film Israel Inside: How a Small Nation Makes a Big Difference, the film Beneath the Helmet illustrates how these young men and women are protecting not only their homes, but the shared values of peace, equality, opportunity, democracy, religious tolerance and women's rights. The lessons they learn along the way, are lessons that can be adapted, understood and appreciated by everyone.
- "Dick And Jack" - a story about the unique relationships between fathers and sons. With all the highs and lows and fascinating dynamics involved. The featured characters are two very famous sets of fathers and sons - Jack Kennedy and his Father, Joe - who was a man so powerful that he practically willed his son to the highest office in the land. The others are Richard Nixon and his father, Frank. While they certainly stand on the other side of the political spectrum, they too have a very distinct dynamic that clearly makes them tick (which at times is not so unlike that of Jack and Joe).
- Oiticica Filho, nephew of Hélio Oiticica, one of the most essential figures in the evolution of Brazil's revolutionary art-movements of the 1960s and 1970s, combines skillful research with his exceptional access to his uncle's films and documentation of artworks. The "Heliotapes"-audiotapes onto which the artist recorded ideas and "manifestations" from Rio de Janeiro, New York, and London before dispersing them to friends-make up the soundtrack of the documentary, along with terrific musical choices. With the addition of a treasure trove of images, this dynamic construction immerses the viewer in the universe of Hélio Oiticica, who guides us through the invention of his Bólides, Penetráveis, Núcleos, Parangolés, etc.

Machiko's son, Akira, and Toru, one of her political supporters, are lovers. These two brave young men have decided to undertake the first same-sex marriage in Japan, despite a rigidly enforced legal ban on gay marriage. They are guided through this political and emotional minefield by Masaru, a hard-of-hearing lawyer who stands firmly behind them. Masaru is actually Minister Machiko's son who had been given to his mother at one of the very early Midnight Baby Parties. The film ends on a high note, celebrating Japan's first gay marriage.
