- One week at the Bota café. Nothing happens. Everything happens.
- The ones who fought in the recent Balkan wars were, in the beginning, adored heroes for the masses. As time progressed, they were pushed back to the margins, treated as a nuisance by their governments. Though the reasons they went to war may differ, the general outcome was the same for all of them. Usually unemployed, struggling with the insufficient help from their governments, most of them feel abandoned by the societies they have fought for. This episode gives a picture of the Balkans through the eyes of those who were executioners and victims of their creation.
- Outside the Framework UNDER CONSTRUCTION SERIES In 2003 and 2004, a Kosova based documentary team traveled throughout the countries of ex-Yugoslavia and Albania, filming and interviewing their neighbors about the issues that have been present and relevant to everyone of the region since the fall of communism and recent Balkan wars. The Outside the Framework Documentary Series shows this region undergo its extreme changes through the voices of ex-fighters, local journalists, musicians, activists, Romas, and other interesting and un-common characters. Each episode of this six part series focuses on one special theme, weaving together the perspectives of people from each country. Unsatisfied Social activism in the Balkans started in the early 90's, mainly as response to growing tensions and wars. For a considerable time, they were the only voices saying "something is wrong". As the wars came to an end, so did the social activism also change direction. By the end of 90's, social activists ranged from anti-militant, to pro-reconciliation work, or to anarchism. This episode looks at the development of social activism in the Balkans, from the time when saying "NO" was the only form of progressive thinking, up to today's crucial role of these movements to educate citizens of their power to choose in post-communist systems.

OF MICE AND MEN The people of the Balkans have always been connected to music. For a long time music has followed the development of the societies, reflecting the changes of the past 15 years. During the 90's, musicians portrayed the feelings of generations caught up in wars they did not fully understand. More often than not, musicians were on the forefront of anti-war movements, hence speaking the minds of thousands of young people. Today's musical scene still portrays a picture of the musician's surroundings - places caught between tradition and globalization. This documentary reveals the power of music as an instrument for social influence and a reflection of the times.
- The Kosovo riots of March 2004 and the role of the media in the recent wars of the Balkan countries as well as media's evolution in the post-war democracies.
- Provocative social themes relevant to Kosovar society.
- With all the differences people of the Balkans have between each other, they all carry the same memories of a lifetime spent together, or side by side. Memories of a past which might transfer itself into the future. The difficulties of the 1990s and the new "rules" of living in the newborn single states, have made a lot of people look back on their communist past with some sort of nostalgia. For the others, the difficulties of today are nothing but proof of the mistakes made in the past. This documentary film reflects on the collective memory of the times of the Red Star shared throughout the Balkans, as well as the uncertainties which dominate this time of transition from one big joint entity into another even bigger and more confusing home. Standing face to face between the promise of a better future in the form of "Europe" - the same one they were taught for so long to mistrust, and the old nationalist perspective which still dominates their lands - the people of the Balkans are now caught between two choices and for the first time, there is no one to tell them which the proper way may be.
- Modern Times of Roma looks at the living conditions and the status of the Romas throughout the Balkans with special emphasis on their new institutional struggle to secure better living.
