- DirectorMaría ElorzaA los libros y a las mujeres canto (To Books and Women I Sing) is titled after a cleverly rewritten quote from Virgil. This bold opening gesture already announces what lies at the heart of the film: the civilising role of women and literature. María Elorza's first feature is structured around four portraits of women and their libraries (containing more than books). While there is much admiration in the director's gaze, this documentary is the opposite of the heroic-epic narratives so characteristic of a male-centred culture: the director wants to give voice to (and sing with) the kinds of characters and stories that often remain at the margins of literature and cinema - while paying homage to the earthiness of these spirited women.

- DirectorMladen KovacevicStarsZoran RadovanovicAnother spring is a medical thriller that takes place in the spring of 1972, when the deadly smallpox virus was brought into Yugoslavia from the bazaars in Iraq. The disease was spreading for a whole month before it was discovered in Kosovo, while in Belgrade, it continued spreading undetected. Smallpox is the deadliest disease in human history that killed almost 500 million people in the 20th century alone, and it is the only deadly virus eradicated by humans, which is regarded as the biggest achievement of our civilization. In the story that united the entire world, the Yugoslavian epidemic, the final outbreak of smallpox in Europe, is still remembered as one of its most horrifying and inspiring chapters. Reconstructed from the 50 years old archive film footage, the film offers the experience of another time and the society very different to the one today, which never felt more relevant.

- DirectorStanya KahnStarsLlyn FoulkesStanya KahnHappy Song for You collapses the intimacy of personal pathos with the remote distress of the social/political environment at large as it moves wordlessly through eerie landscapes peopled by sticks, rocks, a dried dog corpse, a pair of overalls wearing a wig, an old man. A battery operated piggy bank needs feeding, the dog corpse needs comfort, a wily taxidermy shark head interrupts the calm with demanding barks. Miniature mise-en-scenes are inter-cut with human scale live action to reveal humor, empathy, and a deadpan acceptance of death amidst cobwebs, dirt, muddy water, pink satin sheets and blood. Made with legendary painter Llyn Foulkes, with original music composed and performed by Foulkes, Happy Song features intricate sound and set design, visceral editing and poetic brevity.

- DirectorLalit VachaniIn October 1992, Lalit Vachani and the Wide Eye Film team were filming The Boy in the Branch. At the time, Kali, the central character of the film, was nine years old. He had joined the RSS branch because it was a fun place where children could play games after school every day.Sandeep, twenty-one years old, spoke about his devotion to the Hindu nationalist cause, and how he would spend his life serving the RSS. Sripad, an RSS martial arts expert (nineteen at the time) was passionate about building his own body and building the Hindu nation. And Lalit, age eighteen, was a gentle, atypical volunteer who disliked the physical program of the RSS, even though he was assigned to train the younger boys in Karate. We had entered RSS territory expecting to confirm our received images of fascism. Instead, what we found was far more ingenious and unsettling in its simplicity: the lure of a playground where young boys played games and the hopes and dreams, fears and anxieties of ordinary young people as the banal face of fundamentalism. On December 6th, 1992, 45 days after the shoot when the film was near completion, members of the RSS and its affiliates destroyed the Babri mosque at Ayodhya. Where were Lalit, Kali, Sripad, and Sandeep when the mosque was razed to the ground? What did they think about the deaths of at least 1500 people (mostly Muslim) in the riots that followed the demolition? What had happened to them since that time, as the RSS and Hindu nationalism moved from the margins to the center of Indian politics, from an oppositional movement to the ideology of the government presently in power? --- Eight years later, we returned to Nagpur in search of Kali, Sandeep, Sripad and Lalit. Combining the conventions of the political documentary and the personal 'revisit', The Men in the Tree is a documentary in four parts: Part I, Memories (22 min.) is a personal reflection on the making of the earlier film, The Boy in the Branch. (please link to this film here) Part II, Buildings (24 min.) builds on the characters of The Boy in the Branch, in that we meet Sandeep, Sripad and Kali in the present, after a gap of eight years. However, it is primarily about the making and the breaking of various buildings, the most prominent one being the Babri mosque, destroyed in December 1992. Part III, Stories (32 min.) is the talking heads/information section of the film. It is about the kind of stories that circulate within the RSS branch and broader RSS culture and the attempts by RSS ideologues to rewrite and Hinduize a secular Indian history. Former RSS volunteers, D.R. Goyal and Purshottam Agarwal provide an internal critique and a framework to understand the ambivalence of the RSS to national leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and contextualize the RSS hostility towards Muslim and Christian minorities in India. Part IV, Branches (20 min.) is about the state of RSS branches in contemporary India in the form of a return to the branches that the team filmed in 1992. The film ends with an epilogue concerning the events of March 2002. At the time, The Men in the Tree was almost complete. The RSS affiliate, the VHP launched a new agitation to build the Ram temple at Ayodhya. This resulted in the horrifying genocide in Gujarat, where estimates suggest that over two thousand Muslims were killed by members of the Hindu right.
