TRIUMPH OF INSIGHT is an ambitious 61-minute documentary film that takes a fresh look at the genius of one of the Arab world's most insightful artists. Nasser Al-Yousif lived true to his art. He prolifically painted stories which preserved customs, traditions and heritage. He had overcome challenges and continued to produce highly acclaimed art even after he had completely lost his sight. This documentary film takes an intimate look at this artist through interviews with his fellow artists. Filmed in Bahrain, Paris and New York, it reflects on a life lived with integrity and dedication for art. The film explores the subjects he depicted through a period of explosive change in his country and the region. It reflects on the nature of his art and his continuous quest of relating his stories through various media; from oils on canvas through to linoleum-cut prints, a material he resorted to after he had lost his sight completely due to illness, but continued to produce block prints using the sense of touch alone until his death some fifteen years later. The last part of Nasser Al-Yousif's life is a testament to art truly crossing boundaries - even that of loss of sight - and proves that if insight is present, even sight becomes secondary. By visiting Nasser Al-Yousif's powerful story, this film provides an unprecedented opportunity to empower, engage and enlighten a new generation of artists and art lovers, and dispel the myth that art has any boundaries.

Moleman 3 is a documentary diary about a journey from the underground to the cultural surface. Music styles and artists ignored by record labels and the mainstream media didn't have much chance of getting wide recognition back in the day. The digital revolution changed everything. The Internet and digital technology, accessible to everyone, reshaped the music industry completely. The significance of record labels which controlled mainstream music has changed and decayed. For genres building themselves up from the bottom, success was once unimaginable without a record label and money. As of today, thanks to the digital revolution, it can easily be done. The possibility of doing worldwide self-management and creating quality content becoming available to everyone has opened the way from the streets to the biggest stages. The Internet didn't just give artists a chance to get their work to everyone; it also gave the audience a chance to find anything. Today we can't just consume what is served to us by the mainstream media. It's up to us if we look for something that is valuable to us or if we just satisfy ourselves with something we are handed. We have to uncover the joy of discovery. During his journey, Moleman shows you independent artists and genres building themselves up from the bottom, who do not follow the mainstream taste, but find their own way to the surface. Beatbox, turntablism, DJing, bedroom and award-winning producers, live improvisation are waiting for you on this road.

PEACE OF MIND documents American artist, Flo McGarrell's, life in Haiti prior to his untimely death in the 2010 Earthquake. Through interviews, local artists discuss Flo's impact on the community and the small queer movement that was instigated around the FOSAJ Art Center in Jacmel where he was working at the time of his death. The filmmaker's poetic, personal narration is told from the perspective of a close friend and collaborative partner with whom McGarrell was co-directing a film based on the novel, Kathy Goes to Haiti (Kathy Acker, 1978). Shot only weeks before McGarrell's' death, with performance artist Zackary Drucker playing Kathy Acker, the narrative and behind the scenes footage from the unfinished (Kathy Goes to Haiti) project, blur the lines between fiction and documentary.
