Like many Japanese Americans released from WWII internment camps, the young Omori sisters did their best to erase the memories and scars of life under confinement. Fifty years later acclaimed filmmaker Emiko Omori asks her older sister and other detainees to reflect on the personal and political consequences of internment. From the exuberant recollections of a typical teenager, to the simmering rage of citizens forced to sign loyalty oaths, Omori renders a poetic and illuminating picture of a deeply troubling chapter in American history.

Dream & Deed
Dream & Deed
In the period 1891-1927, Henriette Roland Holst goes through a dramatic development. As an aspiring poet from an affluent bourgeois milieu she throws herself, full with idealism and conviction, into the labour movement. Within the various socialistic parties however, a fierce battle on direction takes place, wherein Henriette has trouble finding her place. After returning disillusioned from a trip to the Soviet Union, she does not feel at home in any leftist party. Later she will recollect on this period in her biography "Het vuur brandde voort" (translation: "The fire rages on"). The film reconstructs this period with the use of old film material combined with texts by Henriette Roland Holst herself: fragments from letters, poems, speeches and books, sparingly supplemented with personal commentary by the filmmaker.

My long neck
Maja is proud of the 16 coils of brass around her neck that distinguish her as a ‘long neck’ Kayan woman from Burma. But after 20 years of living on display and constantly being photographed in a tourist village in Thailand, the rings are becoming more a trap than a source of pride. When a chance meeting with an Australian filmmaker puts a video camera in her hands, she decides to turn the lens around and make a film about what it means to live in a ‘human zoo’. The process turns her life on its head and forces her to choose between tradition and rebellion.

The festival goes from town to town, setting up public, outdoor screenings, on inflatable screens, to showcase Rwandan films.

The documentary, which lasts 45 minutes, does not only present us a look to Earth from space, but also enlightens about the greatness of the universe. The question is: if there are more than a 100 billion galaxies far, far away that contain billions of stars, is it possible that there might be a planet in such greatness as Planet Earth?The narration of Leonardo DiCaprio is also effective for the documentary, which I wish I would've watched in theater- not on my 15 inch laptop!The researches and developments in technology and science within 5-10 years at least might give us an in depth look about the universe than we do have now.

This documentary recounts the space missions deployed to make and fix the giant space telescope that sends back to Earth countless stunning images of the Universe. I watched it in Imax 3D, and I can honestly say the visual effects are stunning. Forget about any other 3D films out there, this is by far the best. Every scene had amazing visual depth, and I felt as if I was right there, watching the space shuttle launches. The space scenes are amazing too, and I remember vividly s scene where an astronaut's gear dangling in space, so three dimensional and so real, as if I was watching the astronaut close up in real life. The scenes of celestial bodies are so beautiful, and I thought u was traveling in space. I was so entranced by the film. It's a must see.

I had the lucky opportunity to see it in Paris in an IMAX sphere in 3D and just the name attracted me. I have always been a fan of space and my friends got attracted too. Even though it was in French, I just enjoyed watching the whole thing. You were instantly thrown into space right next to an astronaut reinnovating technology years old in weightlessness. The quality and aspects were perfect, even some knowledge and humor was mixed in. Apart from the mission, you can enjoy some stunning views of deep space. In IMAX, you will literally sink into your chair. This movie was so good I went to it twice and would go 3 more times if it still screened. I recommend this movie to all who have a big screen or 3D.

First of: I saw this movie in Imax but not in 3D.If you are interested in understanding how Hubble operates, it's engineering, day-to-day duties of the astronauts or any kind of coherent study of how stars are born and die then this movie will disappoint you.The movie constantly errs on more emotional side, especially in presenting the astronauts. Some of the narration is also a bit too disingenuous - the crews going up the orbit are presented as some sort of breakthrough heroes doing something that had never been done before them - going into space. What the movie does offer is spectacular imagery of shuttle launches, Hubble itself, and it's "repair" and some light perusal into the astronauts lives in the orbit. You will also see some spectacular imagery Hubble was able to capture and some explanation of it.
