Since the fall of Apartheid, Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation is perhaps more widely documented than other anti-imperialist struggles but the result of Donia Milis enterprise in the occupied territories is well worth our undivided attention.

The R.O.M.E.O.S (Katy Chevigny)
The ROMEOS is a short documentary film about long relationships - good conversation amongst old friends. And we're talking old friends. The ROMEOs is an informal club of 5 old time New Yorkers, men aged 72-87, who have met every week for the past 20 years at the Metro Diner in New York City. It is a long lunch to talk about anything and everything; telling old jokes, making fun of each other, complaining about politics. Naturally they have nicknames: Mr. Indignant (his capacity for outrage knows no bounds), Mr. Google (this guy knows everything, you won't believe it), and The Token Goy. They are retired lawyers, writers and left-wing troublemakers and they are utterly hilarious without even trying.

Grass
The world of marijuana, now variously reported to be a $10 Billion to $30 billion industry in North America with more than 200,000 growers, comes vibrantly alive in this fact-filled, fascinating story of our love-hate relationship with that resilient weed variously known as grass, pot, or dope.
It is about the people who discovered and spread the use of marijuana as a recreational drug, the sailors, jazzmen, entertainers, blacks and Mexicans, poets and beatniks, as well as their antagonists in the Bureau of Narcotics, headed by Harry Anslinger, (author of Marijuana: Assasin of Youth), who sought to drive grass underground. Edited out of 500 hours of archival footage on the history of marijuana in North America, the film focuses on a long lasting and fierce prohibition that has seen the number of North American pot smokers rise from 60,000 (at the time it was outlawed) to 30 million. GRASS is an informative and entertaining kaleidoscope of the longest-running and most disobeyed prohibition in the history of the USA, an epic tale of how Government bureaucrats created a climate which turned literrally millions of users, at least technically, into criminals.

GentriFiction
'GentriFiction' is interested in how architectural destruction and reconstruction are aligned with memory, identity and sense-of-self. It explores the subtle ethnic understatements of the gentrification process currently taking place throughout the city of Jaffa in Israel. Located just moments away from the predominantly Jewish Tel-Aviv, Jaffa has historically offered an ethnic enclave for Arab citizens of Israel. Such location has long been targeted by Jewish entrepreneurs and the local municipalities. Walking through the streets of the Ajami neighborhood, Abu-George, a local Jaffan, brings back to life memories stashed deep under the surface and questions the local 'development' of the once socially deprived neighborhood.
