Acting Like a Thief is about a Chhara tribal theatre group in Ahmedabad, India. Starting with the arrest of playwright DaKxin Bajrange (Chhara), the documentary reveals how the Budhan Theatre has transformed the lives of adults and children within the community. Chhara tribals were notified as "natural criminals" by the British in 1871 and imprisoned in a labor camp in Ahmedabad. After Indian independence, they were de-notified, but the stigma of being a "born criminal" follows them to this day. The Budhan Theatre was inspired by the activism work of Mahasweta Devi.

Cubanos draws an impressionist portrait of the international Cuban community, whose identity has been fragmented by 48 years of dictatorship, as it struggles to leave the 20th century behind. Cubanos draws and impressionistic portrait of a Cuban community fragmented by 48 years of dictatorship. Catuey, a Cuban musician now living in Canada, travels with filmmaker Yan Giroux throughout Cuba. Filming illegally, they are unable to show their subjects faces, a formal constraint that becomes an aesthetic symptom of the crumbling landscape of Cuban communism. Catuey revisits a Cuba that is full of music, but also riddled with misery and corruption, where the black market for stolen government rations is one of the only thriving industries. Filmmaker Yan Giroux transforms the chaos of reality into a set of evocative signs, painting a complex portrait of a people held prisoner by their history, and scanning the day-to-day lives of Cubans in Cuba and Miami for vestiges of the revolutionary dream that has been tattered by so much disillusionment. In Miami, the very active Cuban community hangs on to its national identity, but Catuey sees a disconnect between the perceptions of those living in the United States and the realities of their homeland As Cubans on both sides of the straights of Florida struggle to leave the events of the 20th century behind, Cubanos is a road movie that takes us to the heart of their struggle.

In the confusion of 1974, some, but not all, of the missing Greek Cypriots were buried hurriedly on the Greek side. The return of the remains of the rest cannot be realised since they are behind Turkish lines. In spite of various attempts at resolution, including a UN Committee, both sides still guard the unidentified hidden bones of each others' missing persons The film was shot in 2001 when the possibility of DNA identifiication redefined the problem and gave it a new urgency. By following the desperate attempts of two Greek women to discover the fates of their loved ones, the film explores the signficance of mortuary rituals and the different political lives of dead bodies among the Greek and Turkish Cypriots.

Excessive missionary zeal, tolerated and encouraged by the government, contributed to the almost total destruction of Gogodala art and culture.
