- Parody comedy designed to resemble a non-existent gritty 1980's Cold War Romanian police show that promoted Communist ideals. The action-packed and blood-soaked first season finds Detectives Gregor Anghel and Joseph Baciu investigating the murder of fellow officer Nikita Ionescu and, in the process, unraveling a subversive plot to destroy their country that is fueled by what-else-but the greatest enemy: Capitalism.
- 'Detour De Force' presents the world of 'thoughtographer' Ted Serios, a charismatic Chicago bell-hop who, in the mid-1960s appeared to produce hundreds of Polaroid images from his mind. Constructed from sixteen-millimetre documentation of Serios' sessions and audio recordings of Serios speaking with Dr. Jule Eisenbud, the Denver psychiatrist who championed his abilities, the film is more ethnography than biography, portraying the social and scientific environments in which Serios throve. The film foregrounds the state of the image and sound recording technologies of the period as essential to the emergence of Serios' seeming psychic photography. It is also a document of the film-maker's encounters with the archival material itself. The film enjoys a rich sound environment by Ernst Karel, Kyle Bruckmann and Giuseppe Ielasi.
- Emmett Sagittarius Deemus, a sixty-year-old, mild-mannered, middle-class, anal-retentive parking enforcement officer of a small town on the west coast suddenly disappears without a trace.

- In the far distant future, humanity is on the brink of extinction. A black scrawl disease and strange beasts threaten the world. A kind-hearted young boy makes a promise to his little sister. A thousand-year lie that would live on for eternity.
- A Russian poet and his interpreter travel to Italy researching the life of an 18th-century composer, and instead meet a ruminative madman who tells the poet how the world may be saved.
- In this unreleased Film, Michael and Lee Berger are an unhappily married couple looking to rekindle their marriage. After moving to Puerto Rico to live in his brother's house that Michael inherited after a murder-suicide, they decide to try swinging - with disastrous results.
- It is 1942, and to aid its intelligence gathering efforts, the United States War Office authorizes a surveillance case to capture the meeting of two strangers in a park in Brooklyn. One is a federal agent named Archie Frayn, the other a Japanese expatriate hiding out in the United States under the Chinese name Shen Li. Li is one of many Japanese people in the United States assuming Chinese or Korean identities to avoid persecution. Agent Frayn's proposition to Li is simple: Spy on his fellow Japanese expatriates, or end up in an internment camp. Li cooperates. As a reward for his cooperation, he is allowed to exchange letters and photos with his family in Japan--an impossibility during war-time. This exchange of intelligence for family news continues over the next three years, always under the watchful eye of the evolving surveillance technology. Frayn and Li also see their relationship evolving as they watch each other relate to family and struggle with their loyalty to the war effort. A friendship begins to develop between them--a friendship that will eventually change the course of World War II.
- Living an honest and profound life, Rodney Porter and his wife Jazzabelle face a major challenge that could mean life or death. Every turn is a dead end. The clock is ticking. What would you do? Where would you start? What is the biggest risk you would take? What is the ultimate sacrifice you would make to be a hero for the ones you love most?
- Amir is an orthopedic resident in a community hospital. He is very tired and engages in Patient Turfing (illegally rejecting patients and diverting them to other centres). At the same time, a medical ethics conference is held in this very hospital. Amir travels to northern Iran on vacation and is caught in a head-on collision. Afterward, he himself becomes a victim of Patient Turfing and is shuttled between hospitals like a ping-pong ball. Finally, he is admitted to a private hospital under the care of a newly graduated, inept physician.
- This uniquely telling film takes an entertaining and unsettling look into Chinese rehabilitation centers treating internet addiction, which the Chinese government has classified as a serious clinical disorder.
- 'Yellow Face' is one Chinese actress' journey to discover what it means to be East Asian in the U.S. The film-maker is the first Chinese National to be accepted into the Juilliard School's Drama Division. Since her graduation in 2008 she has followed the protest against yellow-face in Hollywood. 'Avatar: The Last Airbender,' a children's show on Nickelodeon featured East Asian and Inuit characters in a fantasy setting. The creators of the show were inspired and informed by East Asian and Inuit culture. The live-action feature 'The Last Airbender' produced by Paramount cast all three leads with white actors, and filled peripheral and nonverbal roles with East Asian, Mid-West Asian and Hispanic actors. Although the casting enraged many fans, others remain at peace with it. The film-maker raises these questions: Is white-washing racistic? Why does yellow-face still exist in 2009? And what is the social impact on future generations?
