Pop Training Academy

The 'pop' or 'ollie' is usually the first move in any skateboarder's career. This (apparently) simple movement, which gives you a little air, is the foundation of every trick in the skater's handbook. Directed by Fabio de Frel for Pop Training Company, an Amsterdam-based skate retailer, this short film is a tongue-in-cheek parody of a skateboarding program designed to help you increase the 'size of your pop' in 14 days. With ridiculous and over-the-top exercise regimes the program shares all the hallmarks of a navy seal training academy—stressing the importance people place in the four-wheeled sport.

We are in this apart

In "Spaces #3", 7 internationally acclaimed directors shot, after commissioning by the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, a short film at home, making their own timely comment on the new reality that we live in. The project is inspired by the book "Species of Spaces" by the French novelist, filmmaker, documentalist, and essayist, Georges Perec and the days of quarantine. The idea is to create a film at home, using the environment, the people or the animals in that space. The only outdoor areas that may be used are outdoor living spaces, such as the terrace, the garden, the balcony and the stairwell. "We are in this apart" is Yung Chang's submission.

Name Crew: Tiny Toones

KK was born to Cambodia refugees in a refugee camp in Thailand during the Khmer Rouge and eventually legally emigrated with his family to Long Beach. Growing up in the projects, he joined a gang and was incarcerated. He was deported back to Cambodia--a country he had never been to. In Phnom Penh, word spread that KK was a break dancer. Kids would show up at his door asking him to teach them. He saw they were sleeping on the street, not going to school, and getting into drugs--a bad path he knew. He started teaching them and his friend Shhort, who had a similar story as KK, taught English. Now, Tiny Toones teaches 100 kids dance and other subjects each day. Most importantly, KK turned his life around to give kids like him an education and a chance.

Bread in the Bones

Stories of work and play, of love and loss...and bread. Bread has been at the center of human life and creativity for at least the last ten thousand years - it is in our bones and a witness to history. This essay documentary brings bread to the front of the line and explores its relation to politics, poetry and pleasure. The loaf of bread is the vehicle through which we explore stories of sex and death, immigration and refugees, social justice and the counter-culture, and of art, work and pleasure.
