Ketermaya
On a dusty hillside surrounded by olive trees, the children of Ketermaya play far away from the horrors of Syria. But life in the Lebanese refugee camp is far from easy. Disrupted education, the loss of loved ones, and the scars of war and chemical weapons weigh heavily in this extraordinary portrait of family and childhood innocence. An important corrective to narratives surrounding refugees, and a moving fable of hope and resilience in unimaginable circumstances http://ketermaya.com

Documentary following Billy "the Preacher" Graham in the run up to their biggest fight for the world title between protege Ricky "the Hitman" Hatton and opponent Flloyd Mayweather Junior at MGM Arena in Las Vegas.

Less-able fashionista
The film follows a story of Tess who is prepping to go to Dubai. She is going to stage a fashion show on the very restrictive beach. Tess will be crossing all boundaries, testing how much she can get away with as a less able fashion stylist.

Contagion
This film follows the journey of one man, on a small island in the English Channel, frustrated by the litter polluting the beaches and streets around him. Believing that ants can move mountains, he galvanises volunteers to clean up his island, the seas and our world, one cigarette butt at a time. Contagion - in terms of environmental activism - is the cure. Will it spread? https://contagionfilm.com

Talking Machines - teaser
Series of episodes about the recorded sound. From Edison to Spotify.
Can you imagine a world without recorded sound? It’s hard to do. But before Edison's invention of the phonograph the only way to listen to music was live – or via a live radio broadcast. We all live our lives rushing around against the backdrop of one soundtrack after another. Today there are only a few record shops left in the UK where you can purchase your own vinyl. Spotify and MP3 music files take priority, with click-of-a-mouse download. http://vimeo.com/channels/152368
Back from the Brink
The Nazis fast at their heels three Jews are running for their lives. Scarlett Epstein, now 87 recalls the mass hysteria when as a 16 yr old she saw Hitler captivate Vienna’s citizens. Soon afterward she fled with her family on an odyssey that would take her through four countries. Compassionate Albanians gave her a lifeline she will never forget. Otto Deutsch was 10 when his mother put him on the “Kindertransport” from Vienna to London in 1938. He never saw his family again. But he found a home with a loving new set of new parents in Nortumberland, England. Ceska Abrahams fled the Tarnow ghetto in Poland to live for 4 years with her family under a pigshed. German officers were encamped in the farmhouse 50 meters away. Had it not been for Antosha, a selfless farmwife who hid them risking certain death, neither Ceska’s story or her grandchildren would exist today. Otto, Scarlett and Ceska now live in and around Brighton, England. Back from the Brink follows the harrowing escapes of these three persons who cheated death through the compassion and bravery of ordinary people. The film employs stark re-enactments of the most critical moments in these individual’s personal sagas.
