Some of the leading voices of the Hawaiian cultural renaissance, which began in the early 1960s, were musicians and singers. Their songs carried feelings that were yearning to be expressed throughout the island chain. Among the most influential groups of that era was the SONS OF HAWAI’I, led by Eddie Kamae, already famous for his ‘ukelele styling, and by the great vocalist and slack-key guitar virtuoso, Gabby Pahinui. Together with bassist Joe Marshall and the brilliant young steel guitar player David “Feet” Rogers.
This documentary, the seventh in the Kamae’s award winning Hawaiian Legacy Series, tells the story of a charismatic band. Spanning forty years of Hawai’i’s rich musical tradition, the film offers an intimate look at a unique group of performers and composers, their songs, their humour, their devotion to a sound that continues to convey something essential about Hawaiian spirit.

In 1999 Hawaiian music legend and documentary filmmaker Eddie Kamae visited the West Maui town of Lahaina, only to find that Pioneer Mill, the center of Lahaina’s sugar industry, was closing down. Eddie knew that this signaled the end of Lahaina’s plantation era, a simpler, more innocent time that he remembered fondly from the childhood summers he spent in the area visiting his grandmother. He knew that a change as momentous as this need to be documented so he filmed the last harvest, the last cane burning, and the final days of operation at Pioneer Mill. This time Eddie spent in this old Maui towm also revealed many treasures from the past, both historical and personal.

The Lebanese civil war was long-drawn and interrupted with lulls brokered by truces calling for the cessation of hostilities. At every lull, there was a wonder whether the war had in fact reached an end, as much as the decision to leave the country was difficult, as was the temptation to return powerful. Letter from Beirut documents the filmmaker's return to Beirut during one of the lulls, three years after the outbreak of the civil war, animated by the urge to return. She is confronted by the physical, emotional and psychological ravages of the war, terrified and sorrowful, she cannot find her place in the city. In that quest, she communicates with everyday people, friends, neighbors, people riding the bus across the city's eastern and western flanks. To pace her journeying and dramatic unraveling of the film, Saab borrows the guise of a letter read in a voice-over, written by world-renowned poet Etel Adnan. A rare document from the civil war, Letter from Beirut lays bare and spontaneously how people make sense of their everyday in the midst of chaos, violence, terror and sorrow.

Forget about nomads and monks! It’s hip hop that’s making Mongolia move in the 21st century. Mongolian Bling jumps into the thriving music scene in the capital, Ulaanbaatar, and follows stars as they rap nationwide with their bitches, cars, and jewels. But beyond this bling lies a failed democracy, and a dying ancient culture that the elders mourn the loss of. While many artists still aspire to the West, a handful are using hip hop to try and salvage their country’s flailing democracy, and bringing Mongolia’s rich musical history into their modern beats and rhymes.

In one of the most remote corners of indigenous Australia a boy will soon become a man. His father has told him that his initiation will be soon.
This film documents a rare and intimate moment in the life of a family living in a remote indigenous community in Northern Australia’s Arnhem Land region. Set against the political backdrop of Government pressure to close ‘un-economic outstations’ this small community is doing its best to integrate the understandings of its ancestors with the demands of life in the globalised 21st Century.
Told simultaneously through the eyes of a seven year old boys and his community elders, we are invited to witness the indigenous world of one of the most inaccessible communities in Australia. We see the challenges and joys of a society desperate to shield its younger generations from the corruptions of the individualist West, yet equally desperate to encourage computer skills and English literacy. The battleground may be familiar, but the day-to-day challenges are oddly surprising. How can the song of Baraltja - the Lightning Snake Creator Being - compete with the videos of 50 cent and Eminem?
Set against this background of social struggle the Oldest Living Culture in the world has never before been filmed so powerfully. With incredible ceremonial footage "In My Father’s Country" is ultimately a personal and intimate film about a boy on the cusp of manhood being taught how to live in the land of his ancestors. This is the intimate story of one families’ struggle, and of one boys’ passage into the ancient laws of men.

This is the story of three extraordinary Hawaiian women who helped revive Hawaiian culture when it was perilously close to being lost. It was a time when the monarchy had been overthrown, the Hawaiian language banned from public places and schools, and the Hawaiian heartbeat of hula forced underground.
Mary Kawena Pukui, ‘lolani Luahine and Edith Kanaka’ole combined commitment to Hawaiian history with art and aloha, to reignite the flame of tradition. Each planted seeds of the Hawaiian cultural renaissance. Kawena as a history and language expert, teacher and author, ‘lolani as a chanter, cultural icon and ‘high priestess of hula’ and Edith as a songwriter, teacher and founder of the traditional school of hula, Halau O Kekuhi.
The lives of these three great women are described through heartfelt interviews with people who knew and were influenced by them, along with wonderful archival footage collected throughout the years.
