This is a compilation of Tezuka Osamu's classic animated film masterpieces. His uniqueness and love for animated films can be fully appreciated, ranging from his very first work to the work that marked the culmination of his career as an animated film writer, "The Legend of the Forest." This film was produced for the Tezuka Osamu Exhibition (held at the Tokyo National Museum of Modern Art) in the summer of 1990, and was then released in different parts of Japan. Some of Japan's leading cartoonists and animators who had been good friends with Tezuka Osamu wrote each of the 10 letters comprising the title.

In 1983, at a Tibetan Buddhist monastery, Tomas Anderson interviewed the 12-year-old, Massachusetts-born, ordained "tulku" Ossian Maclure about his life and religious beliefs, and again almost a decade later.

The object of the film is to apprehend the rite as a mode of seeing. The images of the film try to update the spirits summoned by a berdache. As an elementary figure, the berdache is close to nature and all its components. As a gay man, I'm interested in the relationship between sexual identity, spirituality and creativity. It is in this spirit that I made this film.

Part of ...Will Be Televised: Video Documents From Asia. As Hong Kong readies for the inevitable change of governance in 1997, these young artists contemplate their shared history and present anxiety. Poised on the cusp of a great change, these artists mix their ambiguous feelings towards the British colonial past wit nostalgia for a national identity. The expected return to the "motherland" of China takes on an ominous cast in the light of the Tiananmen Square events. The eclectic mix of style and rhetoric that characterizes this compilation reflects the myriad of influences that besiege this international center, a crossroad of culture and controversy whose next location in history has yet to be determined. Works: Image of a City by May Fung and Danny Yung; Group Exercise by Victor Chan and Kuan Punleong; Diversion and TV Game of the Year by Ellen Pau; She Said Why Me by May Fung.

The twenty-seven minute video program depicts less celebrated sites in Vancouver as two women drive around the city scouting locations for a film shoot. Narrative flow is tenuous; spoken and written text is used to both fragment and link the multiple sequences. The women's relationship to urban space is fraught with disruption, even as they attempt to construct a meaningful historical and experiential relation to the city.

A ten-episode series dealing with Silesian issues. A picture of the life of a multigenerational family in the period of rapid social and political changes - just after World War II, until the 1970s. All Kanderowie work in the mine. Newcomers from other parts of Poland appear here. Their lifestyle and moral freedom differ from the rules of life of a traditional, patriarchal Silesian family. This often causes conflicts and fights with "aliens". Moral changes are slowly taking place in the everyday life of the younger generation, but the pattern of a traditional family is still strong.

A pre-cursor to Toy Story - G.I. Joe action figures come to life in a young boy's room.

Just when a young boy named Nathael is about to take part in his first seal hunt, this annual event in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence becomes the focus of a world-wide controversy. This evocative short film effectively combines pastel images with pinscreen animation to show a young person's view of the traditional way of life of the Magdalen Islanders, and their perplexity at the censure of the outside world.

Siegfried Bergmann, with his oeuvre of around 80 films, is one of the most important German wildlife filmmakers alongside Heinz Sielmann and Bernhard Grzimek. But Bergmann was more interested in the ant lion in the Lausitzer Sands than the lion in the African savannah. What began in the 1960s with fantastic animal observations using special technology soon became a representation of comprehensive ecological relationships and the search for solutions to environmental problems - no easy undertaking in the GDR. All this always with a fresh breeze of humor and playfulness in filmmaking.

A unique documentary that boldly and truthfully expresses the incident in the Yabe family on New Year's Day 1988! With an up-tempo rhythm, something strange happened in the kitchen of the Yabe family. It was the unthinkable: the production of 300 dumplings. My mother wrapped up a heap of ingredients in a tub-like bowl with unbelievable speed, and using two frying pans, she baked the dumplings, one after the other, without mercy. In three minutes, the film is as full of laughter and family love as the Yabe family's dumplings.

A boy has been aware of the presence of a girl beside him since he was a child. However, he does not know who she is. One day, a nuclear missile is accidentally launched at Japan. The children play innocently as if they have no idea of the fate that will happen in a few hours. Then the boy meets the girl again... The film tackles the heavy theme of nuclear fear, but instead of shouting hysterically against nuclear weapons as in previous works, it speaks poetically and dreamily. It is a requiem for children who have never known war to continue to be a generation that has never known war.

The portrait of a plain steel footbridge, removed after 2009, over a track field between St. Alban and the Wolf graveyard, in the style of a structuralist film, in two acts with two passages each.

A study of the movements of a body (a man) in space as perceived by a film camera. The various scenes of movement follow strict requirements. The man walks in different directions, overtaking the camera from behind, walking towards it, coming diagonally or straight from the depths of the room. Then, in panoramic view, he passes laterally in front of the camera. All moves are performed at three different distances from the camera: close, medium, and far. As a result, the character's size changes.

A censor's tale about the official and unwritten rules of censorship in the People's Republic of Poland accompanied by shots and archival photographs.

Historical documentary about the last months of life of Tsar Nicholas II and his loved ones and recreating the day of his assassination on July 17, 1918. The visual layer of the film consists of unique film and photographic archives and a few contemporary shots.

Short film by Jan Peters

After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of most of the other East European communist regimes, only Albania continued to maintain the strict Marxist line it had followed for four decades. But faced with a tremendous economic crisis, the Kinostudio produced this fascinating, behind-the-scenes English-language doc attempting to interest foreign investors in the Albanian film industry, a move that would have been unthinkable during the Hoxha years.

A portrait of the artist at work. The film begins in 1972 with Johns repainting Air Ocean World based on Buckminster Fuller's dymaxion map. Johns work is traced over the next eighteen years. His Untitled, 1973, with its cross-hatching, flagstones, and anatomical parts become recurrent motifs, as Johns begins to imbed skulls and severed arms in them.

The oldest traces of this region's human habitation date back almost twelve thousand years when for several centuries the Native Indians lived on top of the high plateau.
