The Way We Live Now is an intimate portrait of the daily routines and rituals of the Hadza; modern-day hunter-gatherers living in the acacia-baobab woodlands surrounding Lake Eyasi in North-Central Tanzania. The film traces the daily rhythms of this small community while allowing them to reflect on how their way of life has changed. We are with them from dusk until dawn, where we get a glimpse of their world from their point of view: hunting for wild animals and honey, making food and poison, sitting around the fire with family and dancing under the stars.

This is a film about African fashion in the capital of Ghana. African printed fabrics seem to making a comeback in the fashion system of Accra. While following Allan, a fashion designer and his wife Cynthia, this mosaic film shows the great diversity and hybridity of tailor-made fashion in the city, the variety of ways in which African clothing may be used and the cultural expression that is implicit in the wearing of African printed fabrics. The process of sewing a dress involves the marriage not only of fabric and design, and of tradition and creativity, but also of husband and wife.

Joy left Nigeria to help her family after her father’s death. She knew that she was going to sell sex in France, but she was unaware of the degree of exploitation that she would face. With the help of an association she obtains asylum, but to help her family and live her life, she continues selling sex. This documentary ethnofiction was co-written by Nicola Mai and 8 Nigerian women with experiences of migration, sex work and trafficking. Joy is one of several fictional characters embodying their individual and collective experiences. In order to protect their identities these roles are played by non-professional actresses including some of the film's co-authors.

They were known in history as brutal savages, fearless slave raiders and above all - pirates. Hailing from the Sulu Sea region in the Southern regions of the Philippines, the Ilanun, Balangingi Samal & Taosug tribes raided and plundered settlements in the Philippines, Borneo, Java, the Straits of Malacca and all over South East Asia in the search for human cargo to feed the growing demands of the slave trade in the 16th to 19th century. They wielded deadly weapons, were well organized and built formidable fast warships that ran circles around the bigger and heavier Western ships. These men, either sanctioned by their respective Sultanates or their own tribal leaders, defied colonial occupation and rule, instigating a wave of terror throughout the archipelago for more than 300 years. But there is evidence that they were not merely the savages they were made out to be. Some historians have argued that these were indigenous people merely defending their way of life from the conquering colonial forces. Others have said that we need to put this violence and slave raids into the proper perspective. This is a story of men who clung fiercely to their faith, eluding a technologically superior foe. It is also a story of how these men who lived by the sword, eventually died by it. So were they pirates and barbarians? Or warriors and freedom fighters? Discover the truth behind the Raiders of the Sulu Sea, and judge for yourself.
