to the 80s including the events of 1968
and paint a vivid picture of the history of

appearances, she’s a friendly and
sophisticated “girl next door”, whose
disarming charm and generosity allow
her seamless access to the restricted
circles of Hampton’s high society. But
the affluent, exclusive world she’s
immersed herself in is tied to a dark

anything but what she seems. When
Emily was just nine, her father was
framed for a horrific crime by
neighbours he trusted, and was sentenced
to life in prison. Emily never saw her
father again and spent her childhood
consumed by rage, loss and betrayal. 17
years later, she has returned under an

REVENGE — every social overture a

of her sworn enemies, until their lives
come crashing down around them.
Emily’s goal is unwavering, and her

But when her past begins to catch up, her

taking six First Nations people from
downtown Vancouver and putting them
into the wilds of British Columbia. Our

own shelters in the bush. Experiencing
this steep learning curve will
undoubtedly create an array of feelings
and fresh appreciations. From frustration

systems. Inspired by Meher Baba these
pilgrims, aged between 19 and 90,
embark on an extraordinary journey
investigating mysticism, religion, and
spirituality. They travel to the

associated with Buddha; the shrine of
Kwaja Moinuddin Chisti, a Sufi Qutub;
Kailash Temple, sacred to Hinduism; and
Dilwara; a magnificent Jain temple in
Rajasthan. There are fresh discoveries

Christopher Titmuss, a reporter who
travelled to India at the beginning of the
seventies only to discover Buddhism and
become a monk in Thailand. A true

him to areas of conflict and documents
his global efforts towards promoting
peace. He has travelled around the world,
holding meditation retreats in India,
Australia, Israel, Palestine, Europe and
the USA. A recent pilgrimage to Thailand
illustrates the importance of deep

Social Debate (1 x 55 min HD)
Language: English
Director: Julie Winokur

Every minute in America an ambulance
gets turned away from an ER because
they are too full. In LA the wait time in
some ERs is as long as 48 hours and the
entire 911 system is being challenged in
ways that are alarming. This dramatic
film explores the crisis through the eyes
of Los Angeles Fire Department Station
65. The firefighters have become the defacto paramedics in a largely poor and
uninsured community, currently 82% of
the department’s work is medical, rather
than fire-related. Eleven hospitals have
closed in just five years in LA, and the
challenge of delivering more than 500
patients per day to a shrinking number of
hospitals is overwhelming. As the US
health care debate rages, Firestorm
reveals the deadly consequences of a
system on the brink of collapse.

a feeling of deep gratitude and respect
that is translated into obedience; and
Lupe, a friend, a confident and a lover.

terms with his sexuality. Extravagantly
breathtaking and lavishly romantic, the
film is considered to be one of Hong
Kong’s most homo-erotic cinematic
statements.

TRANSCENDENT MAN
Language: English
Director: Robert Ptolemy
Country of Origin: US
TRANSCENDENT MAN chronicles the
life and ideas of Ray Kurzweil, an
inventor and futurist that presents his
bold vision of the Singularity, a point in
the near future when technology will be
changing so rapidly, that we will have to
enhance ourselves with artificial
intelligence to keep up. Ray predicts this
will be the dawning of a new civilization
in which we will no longer be dependent
on our physical bodies, we will be
trillions of times more intelligent and
there will be no clear distinction between
human and machine, real reality and
virtual reality. Human aging and illness
will be reversed; world hunger and
poverty will be solved and we will
ultimately cure death. Critics accuse Ray
of being too optimistic and argue that the
dangers of the Singularity far outweigh
the benefits, pointing out the apocalyptic
implications that once machines achieve
consciousness, we may not be able to
control them. Whether Rays
controversial ideas incite excitement or
fear, dogma or disbelief this ambitious
documentary will forever change the way
you look at life, death, and your own
future.
