- DirectorJacques DevalStarsDanielle DarrieuxJosette DayValentine TessierA hotel for women-only and catering to working girls is the setting for not being able to get a USA PCA seal-of-approval for this French-film, but New York City's 55th Playhouse played it anyway. Along the way the audience meets the girl who sneaked her lover into her no-men-allowed room and her patch soon turns blue; a young lady with a passionate intensity who chooses another young lady as the object of her affections; the blindly-misguided director of the hotel, another lady of real easy virtue who is not the one who smuggled her lover into her room; and a girl who is only there as a procurer for a slavery ring.

- DirectorVardis MarinakisStarsSofia GeorgovassiliChristos PassalisDespoina BebedeliGreece, 1654. A seriously wounded Janissary arrives at a cloister situated on a cliff, and the sisters take him in and care for him. Sister Anthi, one of those who tends him, falls in love with the soldier and eventually helps him escape. The central focus of the film does not come out of its historical context but is derived from the relationship between the two main characters and, above all, from the quest for freedom and identity for young Anthi. The initially silent sister, hiding a surprising secret, discovers heretofore unknown desires that lead her to a radically altered view of herself.

- DirectorThe Otolith GroupThe O (organic) Horizon is the top layer of soil composed of decaying organic matter. The O is also a roundabout reference to a Tapovan learning circle, a place of study in a forest clearing enclosed by a symbolic circular boundary. The film is a documentary about Santiniketan, a remote university in West Bengal, founded in 1901 by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore. It is a place where people learn the science and stewardship of nature, spiritual lessons, and artistic practice. The documentary goes round the school, following lessons, discussions, and dances, and outings into nature. The spirit of the movie is that this is an alternative future that humans could look forward to, one where colonialism, greed and violence become the stuff of stories only.
