5-T-2 Ushuaia

Adolfo Scilingo was the only military officer to confess the crimes of the dictatorship that ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1983. Among the genocide practices described were the death flights -- the dropping of tortured living prisoners into the Río de la Plata or the Atlantic Ocean. Scilingo specifies the model that was used in the flights he participated in: an Electra. Of the eight Electras belonging to the Argentine Navy, only the three bought in 1973 could have been used in the flights that Scilingo describes. Those planes are at present in Argentina. This film searches cartographically the traces of those planes.

The Life Equation: Big Data and Global Health

Big Data is being used to analyze and determine healthcare options and billions of people are affected. But what, and who, is lost in the number crunching? THE LIFE EQUATION introduces us to Jose, a new kind of health worker. When he meets Crecencia Buch, a mother of seven with cervical cancer, he faces a daunting question. The price for her treatment is $10,000 and, at best, it will buy only a few years of life. That money could fund thousands of pap smears -- a cost-effective way of catching cancer early. Should Jose take Crecencia's case on? Across the globe an underfunded hospital in remote Nepal needs a doctor to perform Caesareans. Dr. Shree Ram Tiwari is willing but his expertise does not come cheap. Should the hospital hire him?

Al final del túnel

Full-length documentary about this very decisive moment in time for the future when ETA is apparently ceasing their violence. Using first-hand testimonies by people whose lives have either revolved or are still revolving around the consequences of the Basque 'conflict', Teri Ortega takes a close look at Basque Nationalist roots and offers spectators a group of experiences, emotions and stand-points that allow us to glimpse the end of suffering and hopes for peace, freedom and reconciliation. This is the Director's third full-length film about this particular subject in the wake of 'Assassination in February'(2001) and 'Persecuted'(2004).

El color de la guayaba

Bautista is a taxicab driver that has been rented by a woman named Ada. Ada wants him to drive her to the other side of the island with the condition that he doesn't take any other passengers and that he drives her to get some guavas. During the trip, Bautista, a driver for more than 44 years, becomes a storyteller. He tells Ada different stories that he has heard all related to the exotic guava fruit. These stories begin to take life while Bautista tells them, giving us a whimsical touch of magical realism with a Caribbean twist, and showing how fragile the circumstances these characters live are.
