The Act of Killing is a controversial documentary that invites murderers of the 1965 Indonesian massacre to re-enact their violent killings in the style of their favourite Hollywood movies.

Machete Maidens Unleashed! is a fast paced and very funny look at the way a group of US-based filmmakers found the perfect backlot for their low-rent, bloody, and sleazy action/horror pics in the Philippines. What made the location so perfect for these exploitation moviemakers was, in the words of one veteran, Human life was cheap. Film was cheap. It was a great place to make a picture. The well-known troubles of Apocalypse Now, some of whose survivors are interviewed here, may be the most famous of all US-Filipino runaway productions, but its saga of bad luck and weirdness is put into sharp relief. Maidens is also about the Filipino filmmaking pros who were willing cohorts in the mayhem. There are a lot of responsible filmmakers, intones a jocular John Landis, but sometimes what's fun are the irresponsible ones. The tone is buoyant but somewhat dark, with the occasional sobering fact. After all, many of these movies were ground out while Ferdinand Marcos was dictator of the Philippines. After World War II the Philippines had a strong, professional film industry that produced some 350 movies a year. No one saw them outside the Philippines. By the early '60s, local veterans like Gerry de Leon and Eddie Romero figured that they could exploit the potential in the US drive-in circuit, so they started making movies in the tradition of B movie king and schlockmeister Roger Corman and followed the rule of the three B's: Blood, breasts and beasts. These movies were hits, big ones. Made on budgets with $100,000 ceilings, they grossed millions. They look like they came from another planet, explains filmmaker Joe Dante, a genre movie veteran. The irony was that while Marcos was fighting rebels (and offering army equipment and men as extras in genre pics), Corman and co. were producing pics celebrating revolution, many of them starring Pam Grier - who is interviewed here to along with genre vet Jack Hill. Corman, also interviewed, started making movies in the Philippines soon after he formed New World Pictures in 1970. He already had a strong fan-base for his stateside nudie pics, like Fly Me (1973). The Filipino flicks The Big Doll House (1971), Women in Cages (1971), The Big Bird Cage (1972) and The Hot Box 1972) combined the girls with gore, guns, whips and shower scenes.

US Army Staff Sergeant Will James, Sergeant J.T. Sanborn and Specialist Owen Eldridge comprise the Bravo Company's bomb disposal unit stationed in Baghdad. James is the tech team leader. When he arrives on the scene, Bravo Company has thirty-nine days left on its current deployment, and it will be a long thirty-nine days for Sanborn and Eldridge whose styles do not mesh with that of their new leader. James' thrill of the dismantlement seems to be the ultimate goal regardless of the safety of his fellow team members, others on the scene or himself. On the other hand, Sanborn is by the book: he knows his place and duty and trusts others in the army to carry out theirs as well as he. Eldridge is an insecure soldier who is constantly worried that an error or misjudgment on his part will lead to the death of an innocent civilian or a military colleague. While the three members face their own internal issues, they have to be aware of any person at the bomb sites, some of whom may be bombers themselves.

Inshallah football is a film about the difficulty of having a dream in an invisible war. It follows the journey of a young footballer, Basharat, caught between the dilemmas of a regular teenager and the extraordinary dilemmas of being born the son of an ex-militant in Kashmir. Basharat is the captain of the ISAT football team - a teenage football team playing at the highest level in the Kashmiri league. A typical teenager filled with angst, Basharat has learnt about survival on the streets of Kashmir, infamous for being the most militarized zone in the world. Basharat is also the first player of the team to be selected by Marcos, ISAT's Argentinean football coach, for a football scholarship to Brazil. However, due to his 'suspicious' background - of being born the son of a militant - he has been kicked around in between investigation agencies, the police, passport authorities and finally the law courts in a fruitless struggle to obtain a passport. A struggle that has already taken two precious years from his dream: becoming a professional footballer. Our story follows Basharat's journey, the dream Marcos injected in his blood, and his increasing curiosity about his father, Bashir, a former Hizbul Mujahideen. Through Basharat we discover Kashmir and the audacity it takes to dream of escape, release and freedom. Featuring: Basharat Baba, Bashir Baba, Juan Marcos Troia, Priscila Barros Pedroso.
