No Shame in this Game tells the story of shame, acceptance and empowerment of 7 people living with sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Each person discusses their journey through each of the aforementioned stages to demonstrate the possibility of living a life of full sexual self expression, fun, and freedom while being STI positive – a story not widely told and generally too stigmatized to discuss openly in some communities.

After documentary participants shared their stories, their STI status ceased having a mental hold on them. They experienced freedom from the shame holding them back and are now living empowered lives.

We hope that our viewers walk away with a new understanding of how common STIs are and feel like they, too, can live their lives shamelessly.

This film was produced by first-time Latina filmmaker, Jolene, whose personal journey with herpes is central to the film and inspired the project.

The film "Planet of Love" is said to have been decided to be produced since ancient times.
Six months after completion of the first film-making, a whale appeared when director MIKI was meditating,

“I want you to record my voice”.
"I want you to play crystal bowls with the sound”.
The whale told him, "When people listen to the sound, they will be awakened”.

The whale also showed MIKI an image of the whale on a large screen, which suggested making the second film about whale songs.

Keeping in mind what MIKI sensed during the mediation, he recorded the whale's voice and began working on the film.

Interviews with people deeply involved with whales and dolphins.
The film also includes a number of messages from dolphins, whales, and unborn children which were received through hypnotherapy and that they hope to convey to us now.
An awakening film that created a big buzz in Japan.
The voices of dolphins and whales, and the sounds of crystal bowls. The film also looks at the meaning of sound, including why sound was created on earth.

Daniel Balima is a senior horticulturist from Tenkodogo, a small Sub-Saharan African town in Burkina Faso, where he lives with his large family and has worked since he was born 67 years ago.
Daniel as a child falls ill with polio and, although growing without the use of his legs, he is able to follow his father in the family nursery, walking on his hands.
He works immediately with great passion and talent so much that his disability, which for many in Africa means a marked destiny, is for Daniel an opportunity: "I could take two paths: begging or taking my life in hand and devoting myself to work with dignity ". So every day he goes to the garden to work, despite the various difficulties he faces, both those related to his physical condition, and those related to the territory and he is happy, because he can keep the family and pay their studies to children and grandchildren.
Daniel has chosen and won this great challenge and, every day, he sows and cultivates with great effort and gratitude many vegetables and plants.
Often those who have no food go to the garden, because they know that even without money can open that gate, look into the eyes this generous man, who with a few gestures and a few kind words will make him collect and bring home what is necessary to feed.
In over fifty years of activity he has given life to more than a million trees and this is what is most important for Daniel because, as he tells us, his country, because of the drought, needs many trees and does not stop, on the contrary, he dreams of planting another million.

Inspired by the current state of crisis and his own childhood struggle growing up as a Thai Refugee, "Run Away" is a timely and important song and music video that reminds us how war, genocide, and hate can and will leave a devastating mark on generations to come.

Ukraine Guernica - Art Not War' is about artists waging a war on war in the context of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine and in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of foreign forces. It is an anti-war film in the tradition of Picasso’s ‘Guernica’ and Jon and Yoko’s ‘War is Over’. Australian's George Gittoes and Hellen Rose travel to Ukraine in the first weeks of the war to collaborate with Ukrainian artists. They process the destruction they witness into art over 2022 and into 2023. The bombed and gutted House of Culture in Irpin Ukraine is brought back to life with exhibitions and performances as proof the artistic spirit cannot be destroyed. Locals who have lost their homes and loved ones in Irpin join with the artists forming a creative and optimistic community. An 8-year-old girl, Eva, who once learnt ballet in the House of Culture collects memories in a cardboard box to be able to show her children when explaining what she endured.
The journey includes the tragedy of a farmer shot while protecting his daughter, Punisher Palace where Russian soldiers r***d and tortured, a child’s room hit by a missile, the Bridge of Death at Irpin where families were slaughtered in their cars and a meeting with one of the heroes of the siege of Mariupol, before his return to the frontline.
The efforts of Gittoes and Rose are linked to their ongoing project in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, where they run a creative centre and art school.
This film is filled with the optimism that humanity can end violent conflict and embrace peace through creativity.

Abused by his father at home and ostracised at work, James clings to a façade of masculine stoicism to protect himself against the fear and embarrassment that threatens to overwhelm him. As these desperate attempts at managing his emotions clash with a sympathetic offer of help, James’ façade will shatter, and he retreats into an outburst of anger that results in his humiliation. Overwhelmed and with nowhere to turn, James will finally open up, finding the acceptance he has always craved and the strength to finally face himself, and his emotions.

Isaac, a young Australian veteran, narrates his journey of recovery through horsemanship.
Wrestling with his past traumas, he discovers solace and purpose in working with horses, eventually sharing his newfound wisdom with others.
Meanwhile, Andy and her daughter Christina manage a small equestrian center in Cashmere, Queensland. They face challenges at a show jumping event but highlight the profound, albeit unseen, bond between humans and horses, especially in aiding children with disabilities.
Heather, a psychotherapist in Moorina, Queensland, underscores the therapeutic advantages of equine-assisted therapy for individuals grappling with mental health issues. These narratives intertwine to underscore the significant mental health benefits derived from forging connections with horses.

In a world crushed by pollution, conflicts, eco anxiety, alienation of the individual and fear of the future, a human being is lying down, hopeless and surrounded by shadow. Yet, anger and refusal of the disaster to come will ignite in him/her - and in us all - a flame of life, carrying the hope of a better tomorrow.
