-Behind the Cove / Keiko Yagi/ JAPAN /Doc. 01:45:00.
Synopsis: Rebutting the Academy Award® Winning Documentary “THE COVE”.
Negative media coverage on Japan about the never-ending whaling issue prompted first-time documentary filmmaker Keiko Yagi to find out more about the topic. With no budget, limited experience in filmmaking, no fluency in English, but armed with a video camera and a strong desire to find out about the truth of the matter on whaling, I started my research.
What started out as a personal investigation triggered by childhood memories of whale meat dishes inevitably led me to the town of Taiji, the center of the whaling debate and the stage of THE COVE.
Director, Writer Producer & Keiko Yagi.

Synopsis: The documentary “A Year in Antarctica” followed a group of fifteen Brazilian Navy men and women who spent 12 months in charge of maintaining the Brazilian scientific research station in the ice continent, away from their country, families and friends. The film crew made the trip to the station three times and during the winter, when the base becomes inaccessible, the members of the group themselves recorded their experiences. The film shows a thrilling and impressive experience that most Brazilians no nothing about.

– A True Story/Viron Roboci/ALBANIA/Short. 19:53.
Synopsis: Albania during the dictatorship, told through the history of a family. The divorce of a young girl which is not well received, and her sudden disappearing, urges the authorities four years later to start a case, looking for the killers, considering the ladder to be granted. The vicissitudes, the tortures, the unending pressure in the interrogation rooms and the suffering of the family members who instead of denying the accusations, try to tell themselves that they are “the authors of the murder”, causes them to describe in detail the nonexistent murder.
