However, despite the odd flashback the film focuses solely on his prowess in the war. In 1916 he is a non-commissioned officer, heroically attempting to save comrades and is recommended for training as an officer at a military school in Scotland where he encounters prejudice because of his colour, as well as impressing and dating a local girl. His single-mindedness and desire to be the best impresses the fair-minded Captain Coombes and he ultimately attains his commission. However, he is killed in 1918 and a postscript informs us that, whilst he was recommended for the Military Cross, it was never bestowed upon him.
- DirectorJerry CiccorittiStarsMark LutzRon LeaPeter MacNeillDespite having dreams of being a world record breaststroker since he was a child, Canadian Victor Davis came out of virtual obscurity to win the silver medal in the 100 meter breaststroke and shattering the long standing world record on his way to the gold medal in the 200 meter breaststroke at the 1982 World Swimming Championships. There, Victor and his coach, Cliff Barry, predict Victor will break world records en route to gold medals in these two races at the 1984 Summer Olympics. Victor's public bravado and hot temperedness, both extensions of his hyperactivity, irk his competitors, exasperate Cliff and sometimes place him at odds with the public and the media, both Canadian and international. From 1982, Victor has some spectacular swimming heartaches, some equally as spectacular swimming moments, and some potentially career-ending moments related to medical and legal issues all leading up to and at the 1984 Olympic Games. Through it all, he is supported by Cliff, his equally as famous national swim teammate Alex Baumann, his swim club teammates, his family, and his girlfriend Donna Clavel. Then, following his retirement from competitive swimming, on the fateful evening of November 11, 1989 after leaving a Montréal nightclub with Donna,...

- DirectorMatthew WilderStarsBill PullmanTaryn ManningHarold PerrineauThe lines between reality and perception blur in this comic journey into the life and mind (literally!) of one of sci-fi's most brilliant authors.

- DirectorRegardt van den BerghStarsFrank RautenbachSarah ThompsonMatthew Dylan Roberts"How do you start over once you have betrayed a nation's trust?" The news of Hansie Cronjé's involvement with Indian bookmakers and his resulting public confession rocked the international sporting community. An unprecedented rise to glory was followed by the most horrific fall. A tarnished hero fueled the nation's fury. Hansie, once South African cricket's golden boy, had been stripped of everything he had held dear: a glorious captaincy, the support of his former team mates and the respect of a nation. In its place the stinging rejection of cricket administrators and the humiliating dissection of his life on international television, made his retreat into depression inevitable. Hansie's bravest moment in finally confessing his involvement with bookies had suddenly become a tightening noose around his neck. Hansie explores the very human drama of a man who, after losing everything he has worked for, begins the painstaking journey back to choosing "life". The journey is cathartic. We celebrate with him in his glorious victories on the cricket field but by the same token, we feel the agony of his dishonor and the relief when he finally forgives himself, weeping in the arms of his friend and mentor, Peter Pollock. Amidst the darkness of his downfall, we are inspired by the power his wife's unswerving love, which shines like a beacon of hope. Hansie's journey takes us to South Africa, India and England and his team's fiercest battles are against the mighty Australians. The movie is enlivened through the cultural diversity of its backdrop, with the colors of India, its rambling buildings and beautiful sunsets, adding a notable poignancy to the drama. Like us, Hansie is both glorious and flawed and like him we recognize our need for acceptance and love. Hansie is a movie that will captivate with its human drama, its action-packed sequences and its riveting match-fixing intrigue. But above all the movie will reassure you of the ability of us all to overcome life's difficulties with grace and dignity.
- DirectorKamala LopezStarsPatricia ArquetteJoyce Julianne AuerKaren BlackA Single Woman is a distinct, lively portrait of Jeannette Rankin (the first American woman elected to Congress; also a suffragist, peace activist and reformer) that takes us from her childhood in 1880's Montana, to her last television interview in 1972. Deliciously political, occasionally chilling, ironic and idiosyncratic, A Single Woman illuminates the role of the individual in the American legislative process with a whimsical amalgamation of storytelling, high-powered discourse and communion. The program is a filmed version of the successful stage play.

- DirectorDaniel PercivalStarsTrevor EveJack ArmstrongIan CairnsIn 1934 Hughie Green, a nervous 14-year-old performer, is pushed onto a stage in his native Canada. Twenty-four years later he is a big name in British television as the quiz-master of the popular game show 'Double Your Money'. Whilst on a stage tour with the show he meets a former show business acquaintance, Jess Yates, now running a hotel with his young wife Elaine, and Hughie stays with them. For the next decade and a half Hughie is a top name in British light entertainment, hosting a talent contest titled 'Opportunity Knocks'. His catch-phrase is "I mean that most sincerely" and he is shown to have a genuine loyalty to his audience and his staff. However, he is a serial womanizer, frequently indulging in sex in his dressing-room with female fans, and his wife leaves him, taking their son and daughter. Jess Yates re-enters television, initially hosting a religious program called 'Stars on Sunday', earning him the nickname of The Bishop. He becomes Hughie's producer and the two men clash. However, Hughie knows something that Jess does not--he and not Jess is the father of Elaine's child, Paula.

- DirectorRobert ClemStarsKatherine ClarkEugene WalterAlabama-born Eugene Walter lived a magical life, reportedly running away from home at age three, living in the back room of a bookshop at ten, painting coffins in rural Mississippi while in the Civilian Conservation Corps in the late 1930s and serving as a cryptographer in the Aleutian Islands during World War II. That was before he took an ice cream freighter to France in the late 40s, met and worked with the American born princess who published the world famous literary journal Botteghe Oscure, helped found the Paris Review and acted in the films of Federico Fellini while translating most of the latter's screenplays into English. Along the way he won the Lippincott Prize for first novelists, a Sewanee Review Fellowship in poetry, and became the epicenter of the expatriate community in Rome, where his parties were legendary. Not bad for someone who barely graduated high school and never had a bank account. Eugene Walter was truly an original, a man who made up each day as it came, one of the last of the true Bohemians.

- DirectorClaudia NunesStarsKleber DamasoGirie MartinsDocumentary about two popular Brazilian artists, Mauricinho Hippie and Escurinho from Campininha, and their irreverent cultural activism to stand for the art and the environment. Statement: In the last years of the decade of 70 and first years of the 80 decade, there was a Hippie Market in Goiania: an art and handcraft market that was held at Civic Square(the main square of Goiania Historical Center). The Hippie Market was a place for shopping and a meeting point of all society, mainly of intellectuals, artists, craftsmen, some thinkers and politic militants. Among all, two characters were remarkable and were always present at Hippie Market: Mauricinho Hippie and the percussionist Mr. Dark. Mauricinho was, perhaps, the first, clear and deprived of diversity, expression in Goiania. He was a young man, also a musician, that used to ride his ornamented bike, with his half naked body all painted and covered with feathers and indigenous ornaments. People from the city called him gay and homosexual. He threw kisses for everybody. He used to pass and arrive absolute, because somehow he had acquired respect from the city. And even those who didn't get close to him, enjoyed seeing Mauricinho pass by in his bike, coloring the air and our soul. In the Independence Parades he was always there occupying his extra-official position of expression. It wasn't difficult to imagine following him a huge and varied stroll of 'Carajas' and Caiapos' (indians), warriors, gays, transvestites, lesbians, urban and rural workers, men, women, children, youths, seniors, nuns, priests, pastors, police. Mr. Dark was also a musician(percussionist) that lived in Campinas, a small town founded before Goiania's construction and that was later on joined to the capital city. He, along with his tambourine and other percussion instruments, was a constant presence in the 'capoeira's' (african fight) circles held in Civic Square. Mr. Dark used to say that Goiania was originated from Campininha and not the opposite as the official thought wanted it to be. Mr. Dark was a straight black man who went to jail many times for various reasons and also suffered the tyranny's repression, perhaps not because of his politician militancy, in which he was not that engaged, but because of his mischievous and "dark" way of situating himself in society and in the limits of his artistic expression. Mr. Dark from Campininha was and is, like many others in Brazil, the clear expression of the word in its anthropological meaning and immortalized by the samba of Geraldo Pereira, a brazilian musician.
