Absolutely Positive
Peter Adair asks 11 people — women and men, gay and straight, from all walks of life — to share their stories about having HIV. Alternately irreverent, candid and soulful, this stirring film is not about being sick; it is about being true to the emotional complexity of being mortal.

Twinsburg, OH: Some Kind of Weird Twin Thing
Every year 2,500 sets of twins gather in Twinsburg, Ohio for Twins Days. Most are dressed alike, many live together, and all seem to have rhyming names.

For 99 years, the residents of Salamanca, N.Y. have rented the land under their homes for an average of $1/year from the Seneca Indians, under the terms of a lease imposed by Congress.

Sea of Oil
The Exxon Valdez disaster left far more than a soiled coastline in its wake. Grief, suspicion, anger and greed oozed through the small, formerly pristine town of Valdez. The human toll of an environmental nightmare is evoked in a haunting film which Exxon and the City of Valdez attempted, unsuccessfully, to suppress.

Turn Here Sweet Corn
A search for meaning beyond cliches and nostalgia, as a family farm is lost to speculative suburban real estate developers. The camera moves through a Minnesota corn field and finds a photograph of a suburban tract clothes-pinned to a cornstalk. Layered with visual and emotional paradoxes, the film juxtaposes innovative video techniques with slices of a simpler, threatened life, in an emotional and personal reflection on the colonization of cornfields by shopping malls.

Tongues Untied
Angry, funny, erotic and poetic by turns (and sometimes all at once), this exploration of what it means to be black and gay jumps from interview to confession, music video to documentary to poem.

A Little Vicious
A pit bull, his elderly master, and a dog trainer/philosopher form a curious love triangle. Elegantly crafted, wryly narrated by Kevin Bacon, and infused with a blend of humor and pathos, Immy Humes' dog-umentary is a quirky, off-beat gem of a film.

The Big Bang

Where the Heart Roams
Romance novels comprise nearly half the paperback books sold in America. Chiffon-shrouded, jewel-laden, flower-bedecked Barbara Cartland has written hundreds of them. And filmmaker George Csicsery has given his heart to this fascinating subculture where all the women are beautiful, all the men are mysterious, and all the endings are happy.

Casting the First Stone
Abortion has been at the center of one of the most dramatic and wrenching debates of our times, but the social forces and the changing lives behind the rhetoric are rarely explored.
