Our Directors executed an innovative outreach campaign: the Guarani Kaiowa communities who shared their stories in the film were given ownership of broadcast rights and succeeded in negotiating sales with the Brazilian government as well as global NGOs, which translated the work into several languages. Physical copies were distributed at the United Nations Rio+20 Climate Conference in 2012. The tribes continue to use the film as material to further the cause of land protection. The movie started being filmed in the communities in the south of Mato Grosso do Sul, on April of 2008, and counted on the support from the Association of Guarani Kaiowá Teachers and from the NGOs Missionary Indigenist Council (CIMI) and Foodfirst Information and Action Network (Fian International). Its completion, done in an "almost handmade" way, was concluded on January of 2011. The most part of the information found out in the communities, with public institutions and with farmers associations are a part of the investigation works that Navarro develops since 2002. Seven background songs were composed specially for the documentary by Thomas Leonhardt. The hip-hop band "Bro'w", that sings the song "No Yankee", is formed by youths from the Guarani Kaiowá communities of Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul. The Portuguese narration was done by the Brazilian samba singer Fabiana Cozza. The documentary also have Spanish, French, English and Dutch narrations.

- DirectorTim WilsonStarsStephen JenkinsonGRIEFWALKER is an extraordinary portrait of Harvard-trained theologian Stephen Jenkinson, who teaches that death empowers us to live and that we must know grief well in order to appreciate our own lives. Many may find Jenkinson's belief that our deaths are not something to be denied or avoided but 'befriended' as challenging; he points out that not every culture fears death as we do. The film carries viewers into the lives of those confronting death, as well as those learning how to help people die well. Combining beautiful imagery of the impermanence of nature and the actuality of dying, GRIEFWALKER weaves an illuminating picture of a remarkable man and leaves us with a deeper understanding of how our deaths could be held as 'a prized possession.'

- DirectorShaunak Sen'Cities of Sleep' takes us into a heady world of insurgent sleeper's communities as well as the infamous 'sleep mafia' in Delhi where just securing a safe sleeping spot often becomes a question of life and death for a large number of people. The film trails the lives of two individuals, Shakeel and Ranjeet. Shakeel, a renegade homeless sleeper has for the last 7 years slept in a diverse range of improvised places like subways, under park benches, parking lots, abandoned cars and lately, at areas controlled by the sleep mafia. The film follows his attempts to secure a safe sleeping space just around the time the infamous winter rains of Delhi are due. Ranjeet runs the 'sleep-cinema' community in Loha Pul in Delhi, a huge double-story iron bridge straddling the banks of the river Yamuna. A thin strip of land under Loha Pul houses shanty cinemas where over 400 odd homeless come and sleep through the day for a nominal price. The flooding of the river Yamuna poses a threat to the people sleeping there every monsoon. The film looks at not only the tremendous social and political pressure that sleep exerts on the homeless in the city but is also a philosophical exploration of sleep at large.
