“If not for you, I have no other true love When we work together the sun sets early Without you I am nothing” Close to the India - Myanmar border is the village of Phek in Nagaland. Around 5000 people live here, almost all of whom cultivate rice for their own consumption. As they work in cooperative groups — preparing the terraced fields, planting saplings, or harvesting the grain and carrying it up impossibly steep slopes — the rice cultivators of Phek sing. The season's change, and so does the music, transforming the mundane into the hypnotic. The love that they sing of is also a metaphor for the need for the other - the friend, the family, the community, to build a polyphony of voices. Stories of love, stories of the field, stories of song, stories in song. ‘Up Down & Sideways’ is a musical portrait of a community of rice cultivators and their memories of love and loss, created from working together on the fields. It is the first feature film from the u-ra-mi-li project, a larger body of work that looks at the connections between music and labor.

Amin is the story of an ancient musical tradition and one man's struggle to preserve it. It is told using a unique approach to documentary storytelling that challenges the boundaries of fiction and reality. Amin Aghaie is a young modern nomad from the south of Iran. He has dedicated his life to preserving, documenting and teaching the unique musical tradition of his people, the Qashqai tribe, a tradition on the verge of extinction. Despite the fact that Amin's family face steep financial and cultural obstacles, they are devoted to their art and culture and express that by supporting the work of their talented musician son. Every summer, Amin travels to remote towns and villages to record the music of the surviving masters whose numbers decline each year. His nomadic family sell their meager belongings to help support their son's education in performance and ethnomusicology at Tchaikovsky's Conservatory in Kiev, Ukraine, but it is not enough. Amin, desperate to finish his academic education, sells his violins one at a time just to pay for his tuition. Awards: Award of Excellence at Yamagata Documentary Film Festival in 2011; Asian Vision Award at Taiwan International Documentary 2010; Film Festival Special Distinction at Dubai International Film Festival in 2010; Nominated for Best Documentary, Asia Pacific Screen Awards, in 2011.

An autobiographical story of the filmmaker's search for his missing father. Leaving Manila for Iloilo, the filmmaker (Nick Deocampo) reflects on his life in the city and how he has turned his back from his past. Returning home, he meets his family members including his mother, his sister, his relatives and his nephews. Asking about his father's whereabouts, he hears many stories that hardly provide any answers to his questions. He embarks on a journey to the places where his father is rumored to have been sighted. He meets his uncle who tells him he saw and talked to his father a few years earlier. In his version, his father sells fake guns in Ibahay, Aklan. Proceeding to Ibahay, he is led to the public market where he is told his father sells live chickens. When he arrives at the market, he encounters some people who recognize his father from the picture he shows them. Several of them have seen him selling medicinal herbs that cured their ailments. One man is very sure he has seen him as his father sells his medicines right across his own market stall.
The filmmaker is drowned in a swirl of confusion caused by the crowd that surrounds him. He goes from house to house knocking on doors asking if anyone knows his father, but no one seems to know. He goes up to the mountain to meet a local informant of the political underground. It is rumored his father has joined the rebels but again only confusion prevails. Coming back home to his mother, the filmmaker reflects on his own life looking for meanings to explain his father's disappearance. From the personal to the historical, he looks for reasons to the many questions about his family that suffered as a consequence of war. Extending the meaning of war to include his own, the filmmaker reveals his own private war – battling to reconcile himself with his own sexuality and with the political war he experienced during the period of Martial Law. Unable to find his father, he laments over his own sense of loss while walking in a seashore where he imagines finding his father and being able to grieve over his disappearance.

The flame reminds me of something I (the director) witnessed in 1991. I was a high school student when I saw a college student set himself on fire. That time people dubbed the politics as "the politics of burning oneself to death". In the June 1987 movement, TV and newspapers reported the death of Hanyol, who was my neighbor. This documentary is a deathbed portrait of Korea.
