| Rainmakers Floris-Jan Van Luyn, Submarine - VPRO, 73', Netherlands, 2010, s.t. English Portrait of four environmental activists in China. Whether they are fighting against air pollution in Beijing, the contamination of the Qiantang River, or the advancing Tengger Desert, all of them demonstrate remarkable courage in their unrelenting combat against unscrupulous factories and the authorities.

EnglishInitially built on the banks and shores of several rivers and lakes, the lightning expansion of Sao Paolo has covered most of them today.

Sea Point Days Francois Verster, Undercurrent Film & Television et Luna Films, 93’, South Africa, 2009, English Sea Point Promenade, a magic quarter on the coast of Cape Town. Formerly reserved for whites, today's South African population at large bask in the sun.

An impressionistic and beautiful portrait. The Battle for Johannesburg Rehad Desai, Uhuru Productions, 71', South Africa, 2010, English As the days of the 2010 World Cup approach, the city of Johannesburg is boiling over.

Thembi Jo Menell, Stree Stories, 48', South Africa, 2010, English A touching portrait of the now-deceased Thembi, a young South African sick with HIV/AIDS, whose courage and humor won over and inspired some 50 million people who listened to his radio journal. When China met Africa Marc Francis et Nick Francis, Speak-it Films & Zeta Productions, 75', England, 2010, English From negotiations in felt-lined offices between the Chinese and Zambian governments to dustier negotiations between the Chinese foremen and Zambian workers on the roadworks of the new highway which is to stretch across the savannah, this film places us at the center of China's implantation on the African continent, between hope and disillusion.
