A Traveltalk visit to Portugal's autonomous island group in the Atlantic Ocean. We learn that many of the things associated with the islands were actually instituted by British explorers who visited the island several hundred years before the Portuguese. This includes embroidered fabrics, wicker chairs, and the islands' world famous wine.

Our world is a beautiful garden of incredible colors, and it is understandable to anyone who can forget about what monsters can live here.

Leyla and her six-year-old daughter Nila live in the holy city of Mashhad in Iran. Nila is the result of a temporary marriage, which allows a man to marry a woman even if he is already married. Children born from such a relationship are legally non-existent. As long as the father does not recognize the child, no birth certificate can be issued and Nila cannot attend school. The documentary depicts Leyla's tireless efforts to clarify Nila's legal status in order to offer her a perspective for her future. In a never-ending bureaucratic battle, Leyla fights not only against the legal system, but also against a judgmental society.

The title Un enano en el jardin is an allusion to the Super 8 format and the setting where the actions that comprise the film unfold. A catalogue of extreme experiments with the mobility of the camera coordinated with brief improvisations by the Brazilian dancer Alice Bloch. It was mostly filmed with an Instamatic m22 camera (possibly the simplest and lightest Super 8 camera, with a fixed lens and manual diaphragm), so resistant that it functioned in conditions that would be unthinkable with a more complex camera, rotating at high speed around the optical axis or tied to a 35mm reel rewinder.

Larry and his friends Wheelie, Flash, Rosie and Tangles live at Greenwood Gardens, where they work, play and often get up to mischief as they have fun adventures and make great discoveries about life, the environment, team work and friendship.

A documentary that records the darkly humorous sequence of events leading up to a seance to manifest Big Edith Bouvier Beale and Little Edie Bouvier Beale so they can attend a celebration of the 35th anniversary of the original Maysles Grey Gardens film. Based on the fascinating archives and life of Lois Wright, artist and mystical Hamptons member of the original Beale ensemble who lived at Grey Gardens for 13 months and was an intimate friend of Big and Little Edie. Discloses never before seen photos and information and parodies Hamptons-style parties with ghost list invites to celebs such as Frank Sinatra and John Gotti.

In "My Grandmother Sits in the Garden", Jack Guariento delightfully employs a VHS tape format to mimic the feel of old home movies, in a warm and wise essayistic rumination on the relative nature of time, the cosmic interrelatedness of people, places and things, and the making of pasta sauce.

Set in the majestic landscapes of the sovereign Indigenous territories of Canada’s west coast, In the Garden of Forking Paths was almost entirely filmed solo by children. Handing a tiny omnidirectional camera from one to another and transforming it into an instrument to explore wondrous parallel universes, the children-filmmakers lead us on a mesmerizing adventure of perception. Their ingenuity evokes both the ideal of an eye unconstrained by habits of perspective and the utopia of a cinema freed from technology by means of technology itself. Thanks to a lyrical intertwining of ethnography, play and reverie, the film becomes a touching invitation to reimagine entanglements among humans, nonhumans, and the world surrounding them.
