UYGHURS: PRISONERS OF THE ABSURD
UIGURES: PRISIONEROS DEL ABSURDO
The incredible odyssey of a group of men from China’s persecuted Uyghur minority, detained in Guantánamo as terrorists. Exposing the cold logic of post–September 11 geopolitical gamemasters who flout international law as they shift their pawns, this documentary is part human drama, part political thriller, and both thought-provoking and moving.

IMAGINED STATES OF AMERICA
LOS ESTADOS INVENTADOS DE AMÉRICA
This doc takes on a nation’s myths to get to the heart of a country that continues to fascinate the world. Inspired by Pierre Guimond’s photo collages, and incorporating an intricately built soundscape, the film resembles a dream on the verge of a nightmare, revealing an America that is rich in paradoxes.
