- Ethan Jones, a sixth-grade English teacher is on a mission to get the newly constructed Junior High gymnasium named after his elderly father Winston, the old retired gym teacher, despite the fact that being dead is one of the requirements.
- Just after telephone communication is restored between the warring East and West sides of Beirut, two old college lovers, one Christian, the other Shiite, whose efforts to meet have dismally failed, finally make contact. But as Zeina is leaving for the U.S. the next day, they record their innermost feelings during the night, promising to exchange tapes at the airport. It is as if each side of the city were trying, in vain, to be heard by the other. The monologues, by the well-known writer Ahmad Baydoun, which form the basis of this acutely observed, moving film, have acquired classical status in Lebanese cinema.
- For around ten years, natural disasters have been occurring more frequently, causing widespread destruction; yet industrialized countries still refuse to implement or persist in doubting the actions they must take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and fail to revise their policies for economic growth. Decisions taken high up directly affect the way of life of thousands of people, in Canada and elsewhere. In 2003, the United Nations indicated that for the first time in history, environmental refugees (25 million) outnumbered those fleeing from war or political persecution (23 million). And their numbers keep on increasing.
- "Stayer" bicycle races were big events up to the eighties. The cyclists and their pacesetters on heavy motorcycles were popular stars. Today only half a dozen teams remain. They regularly compete on the banked curves of the century-old racetrack in Zurich-Oerlikon. They are perhaps the last of their kinds.
- Over the course of four years, the artist let us follow him with a camera and gave us an insight into his world, his work, his art. We are present when he develops a new artwork and puts it together. And we stay put when the pressure of being an artist is mounting and he looses his cool. During quiet moments in conversation, he recounts stories about his family and how experiences in his childhood have influenced his work as an artist. And he is frank about the global art "business" that he sometimes views as a "hyena".
- Chill Girl is a narrative short about a nonchalant high schooler who tries to keep her chill when things become decidedly not chill.
- The objects and places we cannot leave behind create the tapestry that is Points of Departure. Exploring themes of personal and collective memory through my relationship to the city of Glasgow, a voice over describes a tablecloth I retrieved whilst clearing my elderly father's house. The film attempts to unravel the threads of memory held within this mundane item and to find an image within the BBC archive that relates to my memories of growing up in Glasgow.
