Ernestine De Soto is a Chumash Native American whose mother Mary Yee was the last speaker of her native Barbareño language. In 6 Generations, her family reaches back to the days the Spanish arrived in Santa Barbara and made first contact. Ernestine tells this history from the perspective of her female ancestors, making her a unique link with the past. Famous anthropologist John Peabody Harrington, whose work focused on native peoples of California, started research with her family in 1913 and continued with three generations for nearly 50 years. This inspired Ernestine's mother to begin taking notes and, combined with mission records (which survived intact from the late 1700s), they form the heart of this story. Because of these circumstances, her story, possible only in California, is unique in America. The impact of loss of land, language, culture and life itself is made all the more clear as this story is told in Native American voices, who describe the events as they experienced them. Ultimately, it is a story of survival and the fierce endurance of Ernestine's ancestors, particularly the women.

Céline Baril’s latest film takes us across three continents on a quest driven by a simple yet original idea: to shine a spotlight on the inimitable Davids of this world. The 24 Davids in this film are of varying ages and professions, ranging from cosmologist to recycler; together, they construct a playful “ecosystem” of ideas that touches on every sphere of knowledge and carries within it the power to radically transform. 24 Davids offers a melting pot of heady thoughts and politics in a refreshingly freewheeling cinematic format, probing the mysteries of the universe and the challenges of living together.

Nestling below the rugged peaks of the Chilean Andes lies the gold-mining town of Andacollo. The town's remoteness and mining economy has fostered beliefs in the power of the Virgin Mary over the inhabitants' lives. This film tells the story of the artisan miners and of all the hard labour that goes into producing a mere 75 grams of gold.

Thanks to new discoveries and computer-generated images and reconstitutions, experts are about to show us the First World War as we have never seen it before. Over the course of excavations, forgotten traces resurface from the past. They give us a glimpse into the organization of combat, the daily lives of soldiers on the frontlines or the strategic use of underground tunnels during battles. The untold stories of soldiers who died or disappeared are told again through the vestiges of the Great War. 100 years later we are still learning about the horrors of this war, which will be forever engraved in our memory.
