If your country has no cultural history, can you simply buy one? The ruling family of Dubai certainly thinks so – and has ordered everything under the sun to make the desert bloom. With exclusive access, Drilling For Art goes behind the scenes of the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority which has launched an ambitious plan to create the entire culture of the state from scratch. It investigates Dubai’s brand-new opera houses, museums and art galleries, and talks to the consultants who are responsible for the flourishing of culture in the wealthiest 4,114 km² of sand in the world. Is this drive for culture purely a drive to become a major financial player in the fast growing global commodity that is art? And will the ripples of the economic downturn reach as far this oil-rich Emirate?

Two men representing two different cultures meet in the dust of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Lao Yang, head of logistics for the Chinese Railway Engineering Company, and Eddy, a Congolese man speaking fluent Mandarin, have just joined an isolated camp with the goal to re - lay a 300km strip of road. However, deliveries of equipment or food haven't arrived and the road works will cease without the construction materials. As Lao Yan learns about the Congolese way of making deals, both men are forced on a harsh but also absurdly funny journey of misunderstandings.

International border crossing as a daily constant is an unusual life habit. Especially when Mexican urban dwellers do so to work as agricultural field laborers in the United States. In a time when immigration has taken the political center stage across the globe, El Field contributes to the discussion by providing a compelling portrait in motion of the life, work and industry of a forgotten section of the largest, busiest land transit border in the world. Shot in the Imperial Valley, California, and the Mexicali Valley, Mexico; El Field presents visual historic information that induces the audience to form their own impressions on migrant labor and the industry that employs them.
