⭐ 6.1Hello
Date inconnueHello explores changes in two people’s working lives: a Mexican trash picker who separates and collects recyclable materials from landfills to sell by the kilo, and a German freelance computer-animation designer working for the advertising industry in Berlin. The double interview is controlled and manipulated by a computer-generated severed hand which Maria describes as an object once discovered in the trash while working in the violent northern town of Mexicali. This CGI hand was in turn produced by Max, who was born with no arms, and sought refuge in computer-imaging as a means to operate and manipulate a digital reality.

⭐ 7.2Shangku Shelter
Le Zanskar est un royaume isolé du nord-ouest de l'Himalaya indien, où la population locale est enneigée six mois par an. Environ 10 000 Zanskaris vivent dans la vallée isolée. En hiver, les cols de montagne sont bloqués, la route de Jeep d'été ferme et les bus s'arrêtent. Il y a deux décennies, trois amis ont fondé une école de ski - pour permettre les voyages hivernaux dans la vallée, améliorer la qualité de vie et encourager les jeunes à rester au Zanskar en aidant à établir une culture des sports de montagne. Le film raconte l'histoire de cette amitié, de l'école de ski et du développement du ski dans la région. En cours de route, une question plus importante est soulevée. Plus récemment, le gouvernement fédéral a annoncé un important projet de construction de routes qui offrira un accès toute l'année au Zanskar. Comment la nature sauvage du Zanskar peut-elle être préservée? Ce n'est qu'une question de temps avant que la route d'hiver ne soit terminée.
⭐ 8.5Six Hours: Surviving Typhoon Yolanda
In the middle of a broadcast about Typhoon Yolanda's initial impact, reporter Jiggy Manicad was faced with the reality that he no longer had communication with his station. They were, for all intents and purposes, stranded in Tacloban. With little option, and his crew started the six hour walk to Alto, where the closest broadcast antenna was to be found. Letting the world know what was happening to was a priority, but they were driven by the need to let their families and friends know they were all still alive. Along the way, they encountered residents and victims of the massive typhoon, and with each step it became increasingly clear just how devastating this storm was. This was a storm that was going to change lives.
