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.

The R.O.M.E.O.S - Ep.1 (Katy Chevigny)
ROMEO is an acronym for 'Retired Old Men Eating Out' and features an informal club of retired lawyers, writers and intellectuals who meet every week at a classic New York diner. It is a long lunch to talk about anything and everything; telling old jokes, making fun of each other, complaining about politics. This is what the conversation would be like if the guys from 'Diner' hung out 50 years after the movie.

Sideshow Picasso (Marilyn Agrelo)
Brooklyn painter Marie Roberts comes from a family long entrenched in Coney Island's Sideshow. Her family home once housed the famous freaks and oddities of the 1920s and 1930s where her uncle was the "talker" luring audiences in to see them. Marie paints beautiful banners for the current Sideshow.

Swing State (Cameron Hickey)
Tuesday mornings are reserved exclusively for women golfers at the Llanerch Country Club in the Main Line section of suburban Philadelphia - a key region in this swing state for the 2008 election. Mary Pat McClatchey and her friends golf every Tuesday morning at 8am before having lunch at the clubhouse, an event which you can "hear all across the club" says fellow Llanerch club member Thomas Feeney. We'll follow Pat and her golf foresome through eighteen holes of golf and their ladies' lunch afterward. We'll ask them how "historic" they feel this election is, how they and their respective families feel about the candidates this year, and what this means for their children's future. As a critical swing area in a critical swing state, the Main Line is part of the broad center in American politics, and these women are at the heart of this pivotal battleground.

Love In The Streets (Jerry Rothwell)
Our collective imagination of homelessness is shaped by the idea of someone who is single and lonely. Roy and Morag explode that myth and take in companionship, humor and love, alongside the dirt, noise and damp of London’s pavements –a warm look at the chill of a (love) life lived on the outside.

The Work's the Thing (Abigail Norris & Jerry Rothwell)
A short film about the art and working methods of Paul Housley. Born in Stalybridge, Greater Manchester, in 1964, Paul studied at the Royal College of Art. He has an interest in observing the everyday and a penchant for humble mass-produced objects. Like a number of other young UK artists, Paul is returning to figurative painting, at a time when video, photography, installation and new media have attracted increased attention as art forms. Since the popularity of the young British artists, the rise of 'Brit Art' and the controversy of the Turner Prize, painting has taken a back seat. Damien Hirst was famously quoted as saying that painting was dead. Housley, however works with traditional materials, proving that painting is alive and has an energy and power of its own in today’s art world. His paintings play with our notions of taste, finding novelty in cliché and lyricism in mundane, blank objects like sports bags and light bulbs.
