Para Onde Vo As Mulheres...

Girl with a Straight Raz... She wakes. She walks. She kills. Driven by an instinct she doesn't understand and guided by visions of a ghostly woman in black, only one thing is certain: the blade needs to feed. And the blade needs blood.

Rutunn' Where is the line between memory and reality? Michele returns to his hometown "Rutunn'" after many years and as an old man. Walking through the streets of his village he arrives at his old house, where memories emerge from the silence and dust: his son still young, his wife, music from another era and a terrace overlooking a limitless horizon. He sinks into the memory, he lives it as if it was all happening here and now. However, he has never been able to return to that house.

Playing Frisbee in North... Playing Frisbee in North Korea is the first documentary produced and directed by an African-American female filmmaker from inside North Korea. The idea began at a conference on Korean Re-unification organized by General Colin L. Powell and the Colin Powell Center, where director Savanna Washington was a Graduate Fellow. Through verité footage from inside North Korea, interviews with North Korean refugees, long time aid workers, scholars, and experts on the topic, this documentary provides an authentic, on the ground perspective of the lives, struggles, and humanity of the people of North Korea.

Monday or Tuesday, Never... Gregoria is a young peasant from the Venezuelan Andes, Lucia is a frivolous middle-aged city dweller.

Deliverance Simon and Stéphanie, both in their 40s, are a happy couple. They share the joys of life and all the little moments that enrich their life journey together. Yet is that journey a straight road or a winding one? Could one small pebble halt the flow of this love life? What a disaster, on a beautiful Sunday morning, when disease and suffering disrupt savagely this wonderful harmony. Can a past love relation save one of today? Who, what, why -- so many questions gnawing the relation into one of doubt and resulting in anger and even hatred. Can the treason be forgiven? Will love be stronger than sorrow and detestation?

The Starving Village This is my second documentary film, and it is fully composed of old people. One woman, nearing 80, is living out the last two years of her life. From when she is still using a cane to walk, to when she becomes paralyzed. This is my grandmother. We also see other elderly people from the village, their daily activities, the tales of their starvation from 50 years ago.
