Plot:	Eleven filmmakers from eleven countries reflect on the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in short films lasting 11 minutes, 9 seconds and 1 frame.    "Eleven filmmakers, eleven looks implicating their individual conscience"... This film is a unique and extraordinary response to the catastrophic events in New York City that shook the world on September 11, 2001. The French film company Studio Canal invited 11 renowned international directors to create a film lasting eleven minutes, nine seconds and one frame - 11'09''01. Each filmmaker's entry takes a different approach. It's not a pontificating and solemn commemoration of this historical event.    Samira Makhmalbaf (Iran) An Iranian teacher tries to tell Afghan refugee schoolchildren about the towers collapsing. But the destruction of the twin towers is quite remote for them. She finds them uncomprehending. Some of them say "God doesn't destroy humans" ... "He doesn't have airplanes!" The teacher leads them out of the school to view the smoking chimney of a brick kiln, the tallest structure in the arid landscape.    Claude Lelouch (France) It is a small drama set in New York, where a deaf girl and her boyfriend are struggling with their relationship when he leaves to take a deaf tour group to the World Trace Center. With her own world falling apart, she's not watching the images on the television in the next room.    Youssef Chahine (Egypt) Director Youssef Chahine directs a surreal segment and plays himself. In his entry, Egyptian director Youssef Chahine, playing himself, meets with the ghosts of a Marine killed in the 1983 bombing of US barracks in Beirut and the suicide bomber who carried out the attack. The director counts up those killed by US policy in places such as Vietnam and Indonesia for the Marine. What upsets him, and what he questions, is how far from American ideals American leaders often deviate.    Danis Tanovic (Bosnia) This story is contributed about the mourners of those killed in the vicious Balkan wars of the mid-1990s. Tanovic shows his home country in chaos--people wounded and grieving, unable to go home. in a still war-scarred and too-quiet town center women are preparing to demonstrate as usual. When they get the news from New York their march takes on a new meaning.    Idrissa Ouedraogo (Burkina-Faso) some kids are convinced they saw Ben Laden in Ouagadougou; they foment a plan to capture him and obtain the $25 million reward promised by the US. With this money, they erect dreams of social progress, including health care.    Ken Loach (UK) Ken Loach holds the United States responsible of the September 11th tragedy. Narrated by Vladimir Vega, a Chilean exile living in London, Loach's contribution compares the events of Sept. 11, 1973 in Chile to Sept. 11, 2001 in the United States. On another 911 a US-led coup bombed Santiago. Some 30,000 people, including the elected president Allende, were killed. It's a shameful episode, and it led to the brutal military dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet.    Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (Mexico)) Inarritu takes an experimental approach, less a narrative than a sensory experience. It leaves the screen completely blank except for brief glimpses of the worst footage--people jumping from the towers. The soundtrack features a blend of music, voices and news reports. "Does God's light guide us or blind us?"    Amos Gitai (Israel) Gitai shows us the aftermath of a car bombing in Tel Aviv, but as the film crew cover the event they're told their footage won't go out because something has happened in New York.    Mira Nair (India) It's a true story about a Pakistani family in New York looking for their missing son. Since he was a Muslim, everyone assumes he was a terrorist. But actually he is a hero.    Sean Penn (USA) An old man lives in the memory of his late wife. His days pass, monotonous, until the day when the towers collapse near his apartment. The light penetrates his gloomy sanctuary and provokes in him a terrible awareness of loss.    Shohei Imamura (Japan) A WWII veteran in Japan thinks he's a snake. His family can't figure him out and are repelled by his actions. The allegorical meaning is: There's no such thing as a holy war.

Plot:	Seven Cubans and their families travel to the United States on homemade rafts in 1994.    In the summer of 1994, a team of public television reporters filmed and interviewed seven Cubans, and their families, beginning a few days before their risky venture of setting out to sea in homemade rafts to reach the coast of the United States. One of the balseros (rafters) was on a raft that was not seaworthy and had to return to Havana. The others made it far enough to be picked up at sea by the U.S. Coast Guard and taken to the North American naval base at Guantanamo, where the film crew caught up with them, and recorded their many months of confinement. Their families in Cuba had no news of them. When the balseros were finally allowed to go to the United States, the film crew went with them to a string of cities that included Miami; the Bronx; York, Pennsylvania; Grand Isle, Nebraska; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and a host of other places to which the lives of these immigrants carried them. Seven years later, the film crew visits them again, to discover what their destiny has been in the United States. Theirs is a true story about some of the authentic survivors of our times, the human adventure of people who are shipwrecked between two worlds.

Plot:	Just before Christmas 2002 three Americans from South Florida traveled to Cuba to make this film documenting the dignity and resourcefulness of the Cuban people. Includes several musical performances by island performers.    In December 2002, three Americans traveled to Cuba under the U.S. Government's People-to-People exemption of the Trading With the Enemy Act, which at the time allowed for a variety of educational and cultural exchanges between the United States and Cuba.    The original purpose of the travelers had been to avoid the more than forty years of political drama inherent to American-Cuban relations.    Instead, they sought to immerse themselves in the musical culture of Cuba. They wanted to experience firsthand this small impoverished island with which the American government has all but totally prohibited commercial and cultural contact.    In Havana, the men stayed in what is known on the island as a "Casa Particular" (or private home) -- this one owned by an elderly woman named Estelle. Here they paid for both room and board while taking in the city's famously crumbling facades and its stunning Afro-Cuban music.    Later they headed south with a driver toward the Bay of Pigs and the cities of Trinidad and Santa Clara. Their final destination, however, was Santiago de Cuba, where they were invited to stay at another "Casa Particular," this one owned by Cesar. In fact, Cesar had invited the travelers to his family’s holiday feast and while the music and lilting rhythms of the island dominate most of this video, it is this day of Christmas spent with Cesar that gives these 52 minutes an unexpected weight.    Here, the American filmmakers realize that it is impossible for Americans to visit Cuba only for its music, that Cuban-American politics is the subtext of nearly everything.    Here, the momentous Bay of Pigs fiasco is recalled and the injustice of its aftermath on the Cuban people – continuing now for over forty-two years – is carved into memory forever.

Notes:	a film by Carlos Sandoval and Catherine Tambini ; directed by Catherine Tambini and Carlos Sandoval ; produced by Carlos Sandoval and Catherine Tambini ; written by Carlos Sandoval ; produced by Camino Bluff Productions, Inc. Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival and the Premio Mesquite Long Documentary Award from CineFestival in San Antonio.
Plot:	Este documental, ganador del premio del Festival de Sundance 2004, relata los intentos de asesinato contra dos trabajadores mexicanos que pusieron a un pueblito de Long Island en los titulares nacionales, desenmascarando un nuevo frente en las guerras de frontera: los suburbios. Por un año Sandoval y Tambini vivieron y trabajaron en Farmingville, New York, capturando vívidamente las historias de sus residentes, trabajadores y activistas en todos los aspectos del debate. Encuentran una peligrosa espada de doble filo, una creciente crisis de proporciones nacionales. Presentan ambos lados del conflicto mientras registran cómo un pequeño pueblo en rebelión puede transformarse en una pesadilla nacional de los grupos anti-inmigrantes, racistas, y hasta los personajes locales con agendas definidas. Este poderoso y oportuno film es más que una historia acerca de la inmigración y el racismo ya que desafia a la audiencia al preguntar qué significa realmente el “sueño americano”.    The chilling racially-motivated attempted murders of two Mexican day laborers catapults the Long Island town of Farmingville into national headlines, exposing a frontline of the new border wars: suburbia. Blending the stories of town residents and day laborers, this bilingual, cinema verité documentary reveals the human impact of national policies that can lead to fear, isolation, racism and violence. The filmmakers capture first hand the voices of people for whom immigration in the new global economy is not an abstract debate, but a reality of daily life.
