- DirectorJide Tom AkinleminuStarsAkin AkinleminuGrete AkinleminuJide Tom AkinleminuA young filmmaker presents his Danish mother and Nigerian father to the idea of the film he wants to make. We do not get to know what the idea is, but his suggestion to travel to Nigeria to visit his family's origins clearly unsettles them. His father has moved back, while Jide's mother lives in Denmark. But the drama takes place in the mutual understanding between the three, and never takes up more space than the impressions that meet Jide's camera when he arrives at his father's poultry. A calm and observant film, made with a young photographer's eye and feel for atmosphere. Ultimately a (self)portrait of Jide and his father - a likeable and taciturn man, who never really found a place in Denmark.

- DirectorJesse LernerRuben OrtizStarsEmiliano AlvarezAlfredo FigueroaGuillermo Gómez-PeñaThis DVD examines the multiple points of cultural contact between the United States and Mexico. From the Santa Barbara Fiestas and South Carolina's kitschy "South of the Border" tourist complex, to a Mexican Beatles cover band and Chicano rap, this film reveals the borderlands as a laboratory of hybridity that continues to ignite the popular imagination of each nation. Working at the boundaries of experimental film and documentary travelogue, this film weaves together found footage, interviews, performance art, and music video, producing a masterful commentary that is at once poetic, disturbing and hilarious. Includes appearances by Guillermo Gómez-Peña and Aztlán Underground, among others.Really I watched Ruins by Jesse Lerner, which mixes real and fabricated archival footage to document the restoration of artifacts and monuments from Mexico’s precolonial era.
