Preferring not to fly, Indonesian cousins Ambar and Suf make a car trip from Jakarta to a family wedding one day away. Ambar's older sister is finally getting married at age 27, and her mother has given nephew Suf the important task of transporting the wedding dinnerware. But what should have taken one day by car takes three as the two young people take detours to explore the exotic countryside while smoking joints and popping pills. Their adventures open honest but painful dialogue between the two throughout the rest of their trip. Through sparring and silence the two are growing closer - perhaps closer than cousins should.

Two families are employed by a landowner to work on his rice fields. One of them, used to own their own land, but was evicted for being unable to keep up with his hefty loan payments. In the absence of machinery, they plant rice using traditional farming methods and an untrained buffalo. However, the low market prices for rice mean that they have to supplement their income with picking wild mushrooms. They also eat wild frogs, snakes and honeycomb when their income proves to be too meagre to feed the family. In contrast, a neighboring farmer, a retired teacher, farms his land organically and hopes to keep the land fertile with the rice stalks, so that he will always be able to grow food for himself. Thai director Uruphong Raksasad had grown up in the same village where the film is beautifully shot, and had chosen to use local farmers as his actors.

I am the drowning sea. Waxing, waning, vanishing, surrendering, yearning, drunk, helpless against your indifference, with no way out. You are the shore that never saves. I will wait for you to turn into a wave. And we will waltz. Drown together.

Aries is the code of living in Heaven, until one day the passion comes and forbidden fruits fall to the earth.' So begins Aries by talented experimental filmmaker Faozan Rizal. This visually arresting work is set against the backdrop of Java's stunning natural beauty. Oscillating between the stark landscape of Cerebon in West Java, and the verdant lushness of Wanagama Forest, Aries is a meditation on the varying expressions of love -- at once passionate and anguished -- between a man and a woman. Despite at times occupying the same physical space, the protagonists each indulge in the privacy of their separate inner-worlds. Richly philosophical in its approach, Aries' appeal comes from the fact that as an experimental work it contains an endless thread of meaning and metaphor for viewers to explore.

Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall for each other. Do they live happily ever after? The Art of Flirting leads you down this road and to that question, but it's not your typical romance film. It is in the vein of reality TV, with four chapters of a progressing romance, and with an ending that should be left unspoiled here. Lynn is a lifestyle reporter interviewing Leo, a jock turned entrepreneur. Their interview turns into a date as Leo's flirting turns to romancing. Both have been scarred by previous relationships and one night reveal their stories after an intimate dinner at Lynn's home. The intimacy seems a welcoming comfort to both, but an all-too-familiar scenario develops. Many will recognize the path, because they have walked it before, a little romance turns into a desire for attachment. And that's where the fork in the road usually shows up. Will they take one of the forks together, or separate at the fork? What sustains this little drama are the actors and their smart dialogue. We are voyeurs, asking if they would make a good match, wondering what the next move will be.
