2003
- Coffee and Cigarettes
1963
- Eight & a Half

The
scenario; several characters meet and play out different dynamics as they indulge in coffee and cigarettes. There are multiple situations which vary in the kind drama, from the amusing and obscure, to the odd and and ridiculous. All scenes though are highly entertaining and Jim Jarmusch brings fresh perspective to the craft of filmmaking.

Exploring
space travel born from Africa. 17 year old Matha Mwamba is being prepped for the ambitious task of being the first astronaut to land on the moon. Her success would place Zambia at the forefront of a feat desired by both the U.S.A and Soviet Union...

1960
- Come Back, Africa

meet our protagonist Zacharia as he arrives in Johannesburg city among the many black workers who enter the city from their respective homes as labour for white interests. Zacharia is headed to the mines where he is contracted to work.

2007
- Persepolis
From
the opening titles, there is a playful nostalgia. There begins an image of a petaled flower plucked by the wind from its root, drifting about from one familiar scene to another, whimsical. This would come to resemble the life our main character Marjane would lead in this coming of age tale...


1952
- The Life of Oharu
This
period piece by Kenji Mizoguchi set in the late 1600s looks into the fate of a woman whose very existence seems to be at the mercy of others. Being born into a family of good lineage and standing, Oharu lives a pampered and respectable life, well guarded by the confines of her home and group of belonging. Very early in the film though, a man of lower standing lures Oharu into a suspect location and reveals his undying love for her...
