- Summary:
- Sambizanga: "Chronicles the awakening of Angola's independence movement ... follows a young woman as she makes her way from the outskirts of Luanda toward the city's center, looking for her husband after his arrest by the Portuguese authorities--an incident that will ultimately help to ignite a national uprising."--Container.
- Prisioneros de la tierra: "Desperate men are entrapped into indentured labor on a jungle yerba maté plantation..."--Container.
- Chess of the wind: "A hypnotically stylized murder mystery awash in period atmosphere, Chess of the wind plays out inside a candlelit mansion, where a web of greed, violence, and betrayal ensnares potential heirs as they vie over their matriarch's estate."--Container.
- Muna moto: "In a Cameroonian village, the rigid customs governing courtship and marriage mean that a betrothed couple, though deeply in love, can be torn apart by the lack of a dowry and another man's claiming of the young woman--a rupture that sets the stage for a clash between a patriarchal society and a modern generation."--Container.
- Two girls on the street: "Two upwardly mobile working women--one a musician in an all-female band, the other a bricklayer--join forces in their attempts to make it in Budapest, supporting each other through changing fortunes, the advances of lecherous men, and the highs and heartbreaks of love."--Container.
- Kalpana: "Unfolding as an epic film within a film, Kalpana tells the story of a dancer (the director himself) who is determined to open a cultural center and breathe new life into India's traditional artistic forms."--Container.
