New York Street Games is a 2010 documentary film directed by Matt Levy about children's games played by kids in New York City for centuries. The games are fondly remembered by people who grew up in the city. Current and historical documentary footage shows children playing these games, interspersed with scenes of celebrities discussing their own childhood experiences playing these games on the streets of New York. The story is brought to the present with discussions of the current role of street games and opinions as to what kids lose by not having the freedom to play without adult supervision, most importantly the social skills developed when kids could play in the streets.

Based on a feature article written by Sewell, Mad Hot Ballroom looks inside the lives of 11-year-old New York City public school kids who journey into the world of ballroom dancing and reveal pieces of themselves along the way. Told from the students' perspectives as the children strive toward the final citywide competition, the film chronicles the experiences of students at three schools in the neighborhoods of Tribeca, Bensonhurst and Washington Heights. The students are united by an interest in the ballroom dancing lessons, which builds over a 10-week period and culminates in a competition to find the school that has produced the best dancers in the city. As the teachers cajole their students to learn the intricacies of the various disciplines, Agrelo intersperses classroom footage with the students' musings on life; many of these reveal an underlying maturity.

Kin Kiesse est un portrait de « Kin » (Kinshasa), capitale du Zaïre, mais aussi capitale des paradoxes et de la démesure, commenté par un de ses artistes dits « naïfs », le peintre Chéri Samba. On y découvre la « Kin » des boîtes de nuits, des buildings, des pousse-pousse, des cireurs de chaussures, des coiffeurs, la « Kin » des quartiers pauvres mais surtout la « Kin » de la musique où tous les genres se côtoient, depuis les fanfares de la fête de la bière, jusqu'à la rumba et aux danses traditionnelles, en passant par les orchestres les plus branchés.
