Upcoming Films:

POISONED BY POLONIUM
When former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko died a slow painful death in London in November 2006 it was revealed he had been poisoned by Polonium-210: a rare & toxic radioactive material. In this fascinating documentary, director Andrei Nekrosov makes a withering indictment of Russia under Putin and the role of FSB ( successor of the KGB) in Litvinenko's murder.

MY FATHER MY LORD
WINNER BEST DRAMATIC FILM TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL 2007
An intimate and deeply disturbing story of the conflict between a father's love and his deep devotion to religion. A respected Orthodox Rabbi dotes on his only son but his religious strictures leave an emotional gap between the impish child and the stern father. A dramatic retelling of the story or Abraham & Isaac with a devastating "twist".

BLINDSIGHT
WINNER - AUDIENCE AWARD FOR BEST FILM BERLIN FILM FESTIVAL PANORAMA 2007
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Himalayas, Blindsight follows the gripping adventure of six Tibetan teenagers who set out to climb the 23,000 foot Lhakpa Ri on the north side of Mount Everest. A dangerous journey soon becomes a seemingly impossible challenge made all the more remarkable by the fact that the teenagers are blind.
