125 hectares

One hundred and twenty-five hectares represents the amount of land occupied illicitly since 1983 by a collective of small farmers in Le Morne-Rouge in northern Martinique. As she harvests taro corms in her field, founding member Véronique Monjean retraces the collective’s history and their occupation of the land. In taking possession of what was, at the time, unoccupied property, the collective was seeking, above all, to counter the expansion of real-estate development, which threatened to reduce the area of arable land on the island. The collective favours subsistence agriculture and biodiversity through the rotation of local crops (tubers, root vegetables, etc.), which have the potential to provide for the island’s population in the event of a crisis or natural disaster.

Agus must fight the circumstances to try and protect his roots, because in the Basque culture "etxea" means much more than four walls. Basque Selfie is a sad but edifying story articulated around tradition, the tradition of keeping the signs of one’s own identity alive.

Le Horse Palace

Once one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the country, Griffintown (in the heart of Montreal) is now dotted with vacant lots and uninhabited areas. But just around the bend, at the end of a dirt alley, the sun still rises over the Horse Palace. Leo Leonard, its owner, stands alone, fragile, like the place that embodies his whole life. At 83, Leo, the last representative of the Irish community that founded the neighborhood, must resign himself to leaving the premises.

Lepanto: O Último Cangaceiro

After losing his house for the reconstruction of the London 2012 Olympic Park, Michael is very busy in a campaign of resistance against Olympic games, and accepts the invitation from Enrico to register the narrating voice of a documentary about the Brazilian situation. Michael, in the middle of an existential crisis, leaves to find shelter in the Brazilian culture. While Enrico tries to explain him his vision of a magnificent country invaded by giant events, Marie, his fiancee, reaches him bringing with her more commitments and responsibilities. While learning to become a narrator, Michael progressively abandons his fear of death, and prepares to resist against the Oppressor, becoming the "Ultimo Cangaceiro". Brazil, today like in 1571, is a land to conquer, a prize for a war between two society models: estate and multinational promoters on the one side, housing strength and human rights defenders on the other.

Doctor Who: The Wedding of River Song Prequel

A digital clock on a computer screen flickers between 05:02:57 PM and 05:02:58 PM. A series of black and white video feeds from security cameras reveal the place to be Area 52. The last shot is of an apparently empty specimen tank. Two soldiers, each wearing an eyepatch, make their way down a corridor, stopping next to a pair of empty tanks nestled into alcoves along the wall. The soldiers check the tanks, report them as secured, then move on. After the soldiers leave, a Silent appears in each tank, alive and awake. Footage from security cameras throughout the base reveal there are at least one hundred and twelve identical tanks, with the implication that all of them contain Silents. Behind a barricaded wooden door in another room containing an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus, a woman in a black suit stands with her back turned to the camera. As the camera zooms in, she turns. It is River Song, with an eyepatch over her right eye. She smiles.
