- Street Dreams is a powerful insight into the international sex industry operating in South East Asia as experienced by the girls made to service it, and those trying to save them.
- The documentary Breathless tackles one of the most disturbing patterns in drug use in Queensland today - the inhaling of household products like paint and glue. Through the voices of a grieving mother Cathy, a homeless man Rivers, a street kid Peta and many others, Breathless introduces the world to the homeless, the marginalised, the abused and the addicted living in South East Queensland. With honesty and compassion Breathless gives the viewer access to the thoughts and feelings of those who are deeply affected by this dangerous addiction. While these stories contain sadness and heartache, by the end of this film the viewer will also have gained sense of hope and admiration for the strength of our subjects. Breathless is an interesting and entertaining documentary that will grab the attention of the viewer and move them til the end.
- In the hidden corners of our society they gather, our society's elite, the cultural gate keepers - Film Critics. But the reviewers at this gathering aren't here to wax lyrical about the latest Scorsese release or reflect on Cannes. These men and women gather in shame and weakness to wrestle with the stark reality that film critics may not be the intellectual superiors they think they are. Join young upcoming film critic Philip Hughes as he attends his first night at Critics Anonymous where he will discover once and for all if he can "handle the truth".
- A happily married couple, Samantha and Paul, have recently forged a new life in a home they've purchased, and are just settling in. While hunting around curiously in their overgrown backyard, Paul stumbles upon an ancient, musty shed. Seemingly unattended for years, mysterious things start to happen the moment Paul cracks the padlock. For one confusing and harrowing Sunday, Paul opens a can of worms that expose the many potential darker sides to his relationship with Samantha. Just when he thinks he may have come full circle, his worst fears start to come true.
- Ballots and Bullets follows a small group of Australians, Swedes and Filipinos from the "Compact International Election Observers" as they travel around the Philippines province of Neuva Ecija observing a compelling yet dangerous circus which is the May 2007 Philippines mid-term election. With energy and naivety, this small group soon discover that life in Philippines' politics is a dangerous place for anyone who gets involved. Politicians, journalists, union representatives, social workers, and even clergy - no one it seems is safe - not even foreign observers! Things start going terribly wrong for our small band of comrades when the violence, intimidation and fraud they came to survey reaches into the group itself. This highly energetic and tense documentary aims to open the eyes of the western world to the highly contradictory world of modern Philippines. Using the humour, spontaneity and friendship of the modern road trip genre, the viewer will join the group as they have afternoon tea with warlords, meet the dead mother of an incumbent mayor and be witness first-hand to the seizing of illegal fire arms and money for vote-buying. As the intensity rises, the group gets caught up in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with two local politicians who are not afraid to let their guns do the talking. With all the playfulness of Mike Moore and attentive insight and compassion for the Filipino struggle, Ballots and Bullets will be a documentary viewers will not soon forget.
