- A series that crosses the largest road in Brazil, analyzing chapter by chapter the great problems of the Amazonian occupation and its current consequences: deforestation and forest devastation, agrarian conflicts and the struggle for land, genocide of indigenous populations, contradictions of the non-sustainable development model that does not respect biodiversity and the wisdom of local populations. The highway, which would be one of the ways to take Brazil to the future, left a morbid legacy of unresolved issues with dimensions as gigantic as their extent. The construction of the Transamazon highway was a gigantic saga, the greatest example of the pharaonic works of the Brazilian military government. But the road that would promote national integration was best known for linking the famine of the Northeast with the misery of the Amazon, and was abandoned halfway without being completed. The haunting tone of jornalistic films of the day describes this epic in surrealistic colors. It tells the story of this road, mile to mile, meeting the people who lived this experience and confronting them with this unusual archive material.

- DirectorEloisa SolaasStarsMaría AlchéJonathan ArgüelloJuan BrizuelaSoláas's feature debut is a vérité chronicle of final examinations at Argentina's public universities, in which students from a wide array of disciplines-botany, anatomy, astronomy, law, physics, music-prepare for, worry about, and ultimately partake in oral tests. Soláas trains her focus on a diverse and disparate group of 12 such students, capturing the intensity, nerves, and pressure bound up in their by turns dramatic and absurd experience of the examinations.

The film uncovers the destructive effects of the collapse on those who were employed by the industry, and showcases the grand visual spectacle of the dereliction of the rigs in the Cromarty Firth. The first part documents the Kishorn fabrication yard on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands, encountering those who worked there during the great boom of the 1970s and 80s, and showing the ghostly remains of the yard in its current all but abandoned state. The second part shows the Cromarty Firth, where dozens of unused oil rigs are 'cold stacked', covering the effects of economic decline on those who formerly worked constructing the platforms. The final section looks to the future, considering the otherworldly beauty of the new form of energy that is dominant in the highlands: wind farming.

- DirectorMichael ShawStarsJem BendellCatherine IngramDahr JamailLiving in The Time of Dying is an unflinching look at what it means to be living in the midst of climate catastrophe and finding purpose and meaning within it. Recognising the magnitude of the climate crisis we are facing, independent filmmaker Michael Shaw, sells his house to travel around the world looking for answers. Pretty soon we begin to see how deep the predicament goes along with the systems and ways of thinking that brought us here. Stan Rushworth, a Native American Elder, brings an especially enlightening viewpoint to these questions. It becomes clear that climate change is going to ruin our way of life but this then opens up a whole new set of questions: How did we get here? How do we choose to live and what actions make sense at this time? The people interviewed in the documentary, all highly regarded and well known spokespeople on the issue, argue it's too late to stop catastrophic climate change but in no way too late to regain a renewed life giving relationship with our world.
