- In Bangladesh, Accidents are frequent phenomena nowadays, and we fall victim of it regularly. that is why even death has become natural and meagre, in one sense a weapon of convenience. Social values and duties have got a synonym called fairy tales. Political turmoil and bureaucracy are traumatizing public life. Our works only depict the proverb ''every man for himself"'. Society has turned into a Nifelheim where gratification is dominant, ethics conceals itself in the suffocating cell of anarchic rule. In fact, in the final conversation, it is quite evident that the whole story is Yellow Journalism and a creation of the reporter. It is like a dead society where melodrama is presented by the dead's.
- It's a narrative experimental approach of life, though not always, actively implements the consensus of expected and unexpected sense of everyday world which is envisaged as a site of out-of-the-way and dispersed stories of ups-downs, success-failures, and hope-despair.

- Her name is Paula. As day breaks over the waking city, she's already at work - looking for clients as she walks a stretch of sidewalk in front of the corner grocery store. She likes handing out dog treats and joining in kids' games. The grocer's son sees Paula as a reassuring mother figure, and he feels emptiness whenever she is away. Inspired by a real-life news item, director Dominic Etienne Simard paints a pulsating portrait of a mixed-use, working-class neighbourhood where young families cross paths with prostitutes, their interactions leaving unpredictable ripples in the motley fabric of urban life. With broad brushstrokes, the filmmaker incorporates Paula's dramatic story into an expressionistic panorama, in which glances between the characters carry emotions and paint strokes reveal their desires. With its hard-hitting story, Paula takes animation into the realm of social filmmaking.

- This film is an experimental attempt. The narrative is about an author who is creating some characters for a novel. Author bathes in the middle of the characters. The author's scattered thoughts we see in some of the characters' vague, incoherent activities.
- A place with nebulous frontiers and laws. Characters captured in an existence whose outlines flee the camera's gaze. Such is the world of the old fairground located in the Arab League Park in Casablanca that Randa Maroufi leads us into. Actions frozen in gestures of exchange, expectation and aggression are played out following a score conducted by the artist who, in the manner of Eric Baudelaire, uses composition to explore reality. But this reality is also virtual, for these scenes come in part from a repertoire of violent self-representations found on the Internet. The artist reprises their vocabulary. Violence, she tells us, is a language, and its interpretation is a matter of context. A strange vitality emanates from the gentle immobility of the silent travelling shot that drifts through the scenes acted out by the local inhabitants, whether simply passing through or precarious residents. Like the roughness of the vegetal and urban architecture of the abandoned park, these existences are not festive, yet they celebrate life's endurance, a vital energy that is hidden yet tenacious. Maroufi's Le Park escapes along each hidden path, leading us on in a gentle dream whose outcome is never revealed to us. Indifferent to our presence, it murmurs its silent rhythm. These scenes, these lives - the artist began by approaching them with restraint, then trust, and always with respect. Without ever seeking to appropriate the indomitable park or the existences that inhabit it, Maroufi leads us into an intimate world on the threshold of an intensity at once real and fantasised. The artist thus draws, incisively yet delicately as if with a metal tip, a forgotten tale at the heart of the city but on the margins of the world.

- Water is essential to existence. Our bodies require it, as do our souls. It is the stuff of life and death, of sweat and tears, of need and wonder. Water bubbles through our imaginations, splashes through our forms of play and winds through the tributaries of human spirituality. Yet, as precious as we know water is, we have treated it as if it were infinite and cheap, which has led to an international crisis of epic proportions. One Water is a film that celebrates all the myriad ways water has touched human lives around the globe and explores our changing relationship to water as it grows ever more perilously scarce. The film leaves audiences with a series of provocative questions that culminate in one that will impact all of our futures: is water a human right or a commodity? Through a starkly emotional journey, the audience is invited to bear witness and encouraged to recognize this major global crisis as his or her very own. Filmed in 15 countries in both hemispheres, One Water churns together stirring visual sequences, compelling expert commentary, hypnotic local music and a score performed by the world-renowned Russian National Orchestra to immerse audiences in a direct and exhilarating experience of the meaning of water to humanity.

In Africa and Hungary, the tale of how water washes through daily spiritual life and moments of bliss is explored. Along the Ganges and the Colorado, the devastating drama of once sacred rivers suffering from extreme overuse comes to the fore. And from all over the world, come scenes of how water is inspiring innovation, compassion and hope.

The American soldier Jim Herring and his Trieste wife Claudia witnessed it all and tell us about those incredible years with the help of never seen archive footage and historical reconstructions. Trieste appeared to be a happy island, but in reality it was revealed to be a powder keg and a nest of spies!
