Melvin Van Peebles stunned the world for the first time, with his debut feature, The Story of a Three Day Pass. Filmed in France and selected as the French entry in the San Francisco Film Festival, Melvin's film was awarded the top prize. Saying it was controversial would be an understatement. In 1968 for a black man to walk up to the podium and accept the top festival award for a film he had to go abroad to make—now that's how you make your mark. After his comedy, Watermelon Man, Melvin was determined to push the Hollywood boundaries with the groundbreaking, and even more controversial, Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song. Turned down by every major studio including Columbia, where he had a three-picture deal, Melvin was forced to basically self-finance. Risking everything he had Melvin delivered to the world the first Black Ghetto hero on the big screen—whether they were ready or not! More than 30 years later, history is being fashioned again in the telling of this very tale. Mario Van Peebles, Melvin's son, directs an honest and revealing portrait of his pioneering father. Mario now tells the story of the making of Melvin Van Peebles' landmark 1971 film, Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, including Melvin's struggles to raise money to fund the film under the guise of creating a black porno film. Melvin had ducked creditors, the unions and had to bail out his camera crew after they were arrested because a white cop decided a bunch of Negroes and hippies could not have come by that camera equipment honestly. Despite death threats and temporarily losing sight in one eye, Melvin somehow managed to whip into shape a rag-tag, multi-racial crew and finish the film that would give birth to birth of a new era which was about to explode: Independent Black Cinema.

Un cocktail mondain à Londres. Alors que les convives font preuve d'une suffisance infinie et pérorent sur les drames du monde, des images viennent fracasser cette frivolité pour redonner du sens et de la chair à ce qui n'est plus pour eux qu'un vague bruissement du monde, alors que celui ci est en feu.

In 2008 while rehearsing for a charity event, actor Joaquin Phoenix, with Casey Affleck's camera watching, tells people he's quitting to pursue a career in rap music. Over the next year, we watch the actor write, rehearse, and perform to an audience. He importunes Sean Combs in hopes he'll produce the record. We see the actor in his home: he parties, smokes, bawls out his two-man entourage, talks philosophy with Affleck, and comments on celebrity. I'm Still Here is a portrayal of a tumultuous year in the life of actor Joaquin Phoenix. With remarkable access, the documentary follows the Oscar-nominee as he announces his retirement from a successful film career in the fall of 2008 and sets off to reinvent himself as a hip hop musician. The film is a portrait of an artist at a crossroads and explores notions of courage and creative reinvention, as well as the ramifications of a life spent in the public eye.

Comédie noire réalisée par Jules Falardeau (fils du célèbre cinéaste feu Pierre Falardeau) et Naïm Kasmi. Récemment sorti de prison, le Montréalais Gaétan Gordon témoigne de son expérience criminelle à titre de tueur à gages. Suivi à travers la ville par une petite équipe de tournage qui l’interroge sur ses homicides tout en demeurant hors champ, Gaétan dévoile quelques secrets de son métier. Mais ce n’est pas tout. À la manière d’une vedette rock, Gaétan explique comment bien choisir une tomate au marché, il recommande de boire du lait pour préserver la santé de son squelette et il enseigne l’importance de « se dévêtir de sa montre » avant de commettre une entrée par effraction. Souverainiste et amoureux de la musique country, cet individu relativement bavard, qui préfère encourager l’agriculture locale, sait notamment comment empoisonner un homme sans se faire voir.
