V6A

Italian filmmaker Ruggero Romano has called Vancouver home since 2016 and witnessing the struggle of homelessness, poverty and addiction in his adopted city, was moved to make a film about the inhabitants of postal code V6A: the area commonly known as the Downtown Eastside. Designed to challenge expectations and inspire locals to think about their fellow citizens in a new light, V6A is also an unexpected celebration of the resilience and beauty of the human spirit. In the search for truth and authenticity, the film explores human nature in its fight against the toughest, often man-made odds by questioning the definition of "Home".

The Secrets of Silicon Valley: What Big Tech Doesn’t Want You to Know

From a sleepy farming region, a global surveillance empire was born, its roots buried in secret Pentagon programs and intelligence agency funding. The documentary traces this hidden history, revealing how World War II, eugenics, and military contracts shaped the tech giants that now track our every move. It uncovers the uncomfortable truth that the internet itself was designed as a weapon of control, not liberation, and that the line between Silicon Valley and the spy agencies has always been blurred.

An eighty year old man eats alone and walks alone for twenty years after he served his time in prison. Only his nephew and niece-in-law, ethnic Korean migrants from China, stop by to see him time to time.

The nephew’s wife goes to Pyeongyang to see Ok-hee, the daughter of the old man, and returns while the man wishes to go to the border for one last time. At the border where he could see the North, he has something to say to his only daughter. Would he succeed in going there?
