- DirectorAngela ChristliebStephen KijakStarsJack AngstreichEric ChadbourneBill HeidbrederThis documentary about the culture of intense cinephilia in New York City reveals the impassioned world of five obsessed movie buffs. The filmmakers expose this delightfully deranged cult by capturing the daily lives of its members. Interviews in movie houses, on the street and in the homes of the subjects tell the story of each individual. Many cannot hold a job, or choose not to. All of them have demoted the importance of the real world, giving all of their attention to the fantasy world of the movies. These human encyclopedias of cinema see two to five films a day, and from 600 to 2,000 films per year. Many have no physical sex lives, living instead in a world of romance with stars like James Dean or Audrey Hepburn. In Cinemania, Hollywood's biggest fans become the true stars. This is the story of their lives, their memories, their unbending habits and the films they love.

- DirectorSanjay RawalStarsEve EnslerBarry EstabrookDolores HuertaThere is so much interest in food these days yet there is almost no interest in the hands that pick that food. In the US, farm labor has always been one of the most difficult and poorly paid jobs and has relied on some of the nation's most vulnerable people. While the legal restrictions which kept people bound to farms, like slavery, have been abolished, exploitation still exists, ranging from wage theft to modern-day slavery. These days, this exploitation is perpetuated by the corporations at the top of the food chain: supermarkets. Their buying power has kept wages pitifully low and has created a scenario where desperately poor people are willing to put up with anything to keep their jobs.

- DirectorMarlin DarrahStarsMarlin DarrahThis fascinating documentary takes you to West Papua, which is the Indonesian half of the island of New Guinea. It's one of the most primitive regions on earth. Award-winning filmmaker Marlin Darrah examines the lives of three indigenous groups: the Dani, the Asmat and the Korowai, who despite modern efforts to tame the land and "pacify" them, still live primarily as hunter-gatherers or subsistence mountainside and lowland farmers, grouped into small clans. Each tribe is very traditional and - as a note to viewers - you'll see partial nudity, as it is common in these societies. In the Baliem Valley, you'll meet the Dani people, with their stilted houses, separated for men and for women. You'll witness a ceremonial pig feast, a mock tribal battle, and see an example of their famed "smoked" mummies. Next travel into the swampy rainforest to visit the Asmat tribe, renowned wood carvers and warriors, who were once headhunters and cannibals. And finally travel deeper inland to meet the Korowai people, who live high up in tree houses, due to the intense tropical rains as well as a defense against hostile tribal raids.
