	ATENCO, A CRIME OF STATE Atenco is a symbol of pride in Mexico. The documentary that bears its name captures the peoples' revolt frame-by-frame as it unfolded on May 3 and 4, 2006, by a collective of filmmakers who recorded the darkest days in Mexico's recent history.
	BIG RIG Sleek steel monsters roll through the night on a cross-country odyssey that keeps the wheels of the American machine turning. Meet the working-class heroes who deliver your food and all the goods you can't live without.
	CLOUDS OVER CONAKRY Director Cheick Fantamady Camara takes us into urban Africa, where the new - beauty pageants, Apple laptops, recording studios, beachside bars - clashes with the old, and in Conakry, the weatherman is predicting rain.
	CONTINENTAL, A FILM WITHOUT GUNS In this stunning debut from French-Canadian filmmaker Stéphane Lafleur, one man disappears and four peoples' lives become intertwined enough to overcome a measure of their quiet desperation and allow them to change.
	ELVIS PELVIS Elvis Pelvis is a story told in two parts; "THE SUIT" tells of a London family in the early '80s and the effects of the legacy of Elvis Presley on them. "THE MESSIAH" takes place 17 years later and tells of Derek, a disturbed recluse who also loves Hendrix, and pretends to be the long-lost son of a dying patriarch.
	FARO - GODDESS OF THE WATERS In this assured debut from Salif Traoré, a former assistant to Souleymane Cissé and Abderrahmane Sissako, we follow the story of an engineer who returns to his rural village in Mali many years after having been cast out because his mother was unmarried.
