In Faith, Hope and BBQ, from director Ernie Mosteller, you'll meet the Pastor / Preacher / Barbecue Man, the Sunday School Teacher who guards her collard green recipe, the congregation who pray, the customers who pay, plus the faith, food, work and joy that keep New Hope very much alive. Like many small churches in America today, New Hope has to work hard, just to survive. But hard work is nothing new to the close-knit 60-member congregation. Faced with eviction over 20 years ago, the church leaders of the time sold barbecue from a roadside stand to purchase land and build the church where it stands. Now the church needs renovation and modernization. But the economic realities of a small church in a small town in hard times call for something more than charity, or the Sunday offering plate. Undeterred, the members of New Hope, led by Pastor Scotty, son of one of the original New Hope barbecue pioneers, once again turn to faith, and the work they know - cooking and serving the best barbecue around.

Right in the center of Istanbul, there remains an originally Armenian district, Tarlabasi, where poor people of all origins live together. It is easy to hide here and that is why Mustafa (not his real name) chose to live there. Like many, he earns his living rummaging in the trash. The student youth may mobilize to defend Gezi Park, real estate speculation is gradually destroying the city center. At the opening of the film, a clip produced for Istanbul's candidacy for the Olympic Games boasts a festive city combining Western modernity and picturesque Eastern. Marianna Francese and Jaad Gaillet enter the other side of this mirage. At night, the alleys of Tarlabasi are the scene of police repression which crushes the young protesters - under the placid eye of Mustafa and his neighbors who no longer have any illusions. While waiting for their neighborhood to be handed over to the wreckers, they cling to it, happy to be able at least to eat and sleep. The vagaries of life, including prison, made Mustafa a philosopher. He has learned to rejoice in the little he has, never to complain about a destiny in which he does not believe. A few friends to sing, drink and joke with are enough to cheer it up. While Tarlabasi survives the night, a fragile place of poetry and freedom, by day the backhoes strive to make Istanbul conform to its advertising image.

A real adventure film - but in a very modern sense. On a three-mast schooner aboard with artists, scientists and ambitions worthy of Noah or Columbus, we set off towards the end of the world: in this case, the rapidly melting ice massifs in North-East Greenland. An epic journey where the brave sailors get acquainted with imaginary tent pitches, polar bear nightmares and entirely new species. But in their encounter with the new, unknown parts of our world, the crew - which ranges from the artists Tal R and Daniel Richter to the geologist Minik Rosing - addresses a number of questions of a fundamental, existential nature. Curiosity, great pathos and a liberating splash of humor come together in a film that is superbly orchestrated by the cinematic talent Daniel Dencik, who in one iconic image after another seduces us both far beyond and deep into the historical footnote that is humanity. A film that is both conceived and brought into life on a large scale, just like an old childhood dream realized in adult company.

Four strikingly different women undergo treatment at a comprehensive breast center presided over by the inimitable and searingly honest veteran surgeon Dr. Lauren Schnaper. She believes that fear, ignorance, and pink-ribbon culture are fueling an explosive rate of unnecessary mastectomies in America. Blending medical archival footage with extensive 'collateral damage' suffered by our four women - repeated loss of implants, blood infections caused by multiple surgical procedures, cosmetic nipple exchanges, reactions to cadaver's skin that is used to house breast implants - we learn that breast reconstruction post-mastectomy is no 'boob job.' As Dr. Schnaper advocates breast conservation and debunks breast cancer myths, so the myth of St. Agatha, the Sicilian martyred saint of the breast, offers a commentary on our own confused contemporary moment.
