乐卡•康斯坦丁南维克担任南斯拉夫总统约瑟普•布罗兹•铁托的私人电影放映员长达32年之久。期间，他向铁托放映了共8801部影片。他和南斯拉夫的导演、电影明星和工作室老板们一起讲述铁托（1892-1980）是如何构建战后的南斯拉夫、同时也利用电影业来建设这个新国家的故事。理查德•伯顿、索菲亚•罗兰和奥森•韦尔斯等明星的诞生，给这种努力增添了一丝光彩。他们出现在许多由南斯拉夫资助的电影巨作中，《电影主义》通过采用许多已被遗忘的南斯拉夫电影片段讲述了南斯拉夫的故事—--这种讲述方式从未呈现于屏幕。通过拼凑在一起的独家幕后档案，本片再现了一个国家的故事，也许这个国家本身就是一部小说。

五十年前的乌托邦幻梦，本是加以尖锐讽刺，今天回首却尽成唏嘘。原籍智利的大师级导演拉乌卢易兹，当年在左翼总统上台后，拍片批评新政府的理想主义不切实际，岂料军事政变走向独裁，作品未及完成，他本人亦流亡海外。在他辞世多年后，视频终于寻获，经抢救修复，由其遗孀兼创作伙伴完成剪接，令此作重现人间。糅合纪实与虚构，在历史洪流里保持清醒，在激昂呐喊中洞察困境。由两组故事交错而成，工人接管工厂，知识份子空言革命，结局预示终成泡影。

BBC Four拍摄的纪录片，谈苏维埃政权如何介入国家运动，东欧的足球场如何成为共产主义政客利用的战场，俄罗斯、匈牙利与前东德共产主义领袖的操控，以及在铁幕背后不愿合作者的一些案例。 　　After the Russian Revolution, the Soviet authorities sought to exercise control over every aspect of social, political and cultural life, including Russia's national sport, football. Throughout the 20th Century, the football grounds of Eastern Europe became battlegrounds as ruthless politicians tried to use football to lend legitimacy to communist rule. In this film, footballers from Russia, Hungary and East Germany recall how the beautiful game was manipulated by ruthless communist leaders, and reveal how the careers of several great footballers from behind the Iron Curtain were destroyed simply because they refused to co-operate with the Eastern Bloc's most brutal totalitarian regimes. The central tale is of the George Best of Russian football, a seventeen-year-old slinky, skilled forward with a teddy boy haircut, Eduard Streltstov, who was the inventor of a back-heeled pass, still known as "The Russian Pelé", whose career was wrecked by the KGB.

81-year-old master, Jean-Marie Straub, once again invents and surprises with his latest film. Kommunisten consists of six parts, five of which have been taken from his earlier works. Straub does not aim to be self-reverential, but instead wants to make different blocks (of text, time, and languages) clash so as to highlight invisible elements of feelings and politics. It is a film about human adventure, from the past century to the one ahead. In this project, all the things that the films of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet have been based on for the past fifty years, find their most raw and recent form.

For nearly two decades, John Gianvito has been carving out a unique space in American cinema with passion projects of expansive shape and political ambition, including The Mad Songs of Fernanda Hussein, a documentary-fiction inquiry into the human toll of the Gulf War, and Profit Motive and the Whispering Wind, a becalmed yet radical Howard Zinn–inspired reflection on American progressivism. In his new film, Gianvito meditates on a particular moment in early 20th-century history: when Helen Keller began speaking out passionately on behalf of progressive causes. Beginning in 1913, when, at age 32, Keller gave her first public talk before a general audience, Her Socialist Smile is constructed of onscreen text taken from Keller’s speeches, impressionistic images of nature, and newly recorded voiceover by poet Carolyn Forché. The film is a rousing reminder that Keller’s undaunted activism for labor rights, pacifism, and women’s suffrage was philosophically inseparable from her battles for the rights of the disabled.
