In 1936 Oswald Mosley requested to march through the East End with his army of Blackshirts in a display fascist power. Government at the time deemed stopping the march to be an infringement of the freedom of speech. However Jews, Irish, dockworkers and Communists joined the people of the East End in a multi cultural stand against fascism and intolerance. Through their commitment, organisation and shear strength in numbers they succeeded in stopping the march. This is a seminal event in British history as it loudly declared Britains refusal to accept fascism. It resulted in new laws being introduced, which still exist today, to ban political uniform and restrict fascist activity. Director Yoav Segal's grandfather, Ubby Cowan, helped organise the demonsration. As a child, Yoav would spend hours with his grandfather on long walks listening, enthralled by his tales of the East End. Even at a young age, Yoavs imagination ran wild as he painted his own visions of those scenes in his head. The Battle of Cable Street brings to life Ubbys vivid memories told through the eyes of a child through the use of cutting edge rotoscoped and frame by frame animation side by side HiDef cinemtaic liveaction. In the film Danny learns, much as his granddad did in the 30's 'Look up, see the world around you. Find a voice, express yourself.'

In the summer of 2004, on a car journey in Eastern Europe, Pavla Fleischer met and fell in love with Eugene Hutz, lead singer of New York's Gypsy Punk band Gogol Bordello. Captivated by his energy and his musical verve, and desperate to get to know him better, she decided to make a film about him. The Pied Piper of Hutzovina follows Eugene and Pavla on their subsequent road trip through Eugene's home country, Ukraine. It is the story of two people traveling together on two very different courses. Her aim is to rediscover a forgotten romance; his is to rediscover his roots. She hopes to find love on the road; he hopes to find musical inspiration from the gypsy culture he is determined to preserve. This is an intimate portrait of a filmmaker with a passion for her subject, and a punk musician with a longing to revisit his past. Theirs is a journey which tests their relationship and challenges their perceptions of the music they both love.
