Africa Light / Gray Zone

"Africa Light" - as white local citizens call Namibia. The name suggests romance, the beauty of nature and promises a life without any problems in a country where the difference between rich and poor could hardly be greater. Namibia does not give that impression of it. If you look at its surface it seems like Africa in its most innocent and civilized form. It is a country that is so inviting to dream by its spectacular landscape, stunning scenery and fascinating wildlife. It has a very strong tourism structure and the government gets a lot of money with its magical attraction. But despite its grandiose splendor it is an endless gray zone as well. It oscillates between tradition and modernity, between the cattle in the country and the slums in the city. It shuttles from colonial times, land property reform to minimum wage for everyone. It fluctuates between socialism and cold calculated market economy.

Shirley Temple: America's Little Darling

There never was a star quite like her. Adored by adults and children alike, at four she already led at the box office — ahead of Gable and Cooper.

Her earliest movies gave a foretaste of her talents and soon would become the songs and dances that helped make those movies immortal.

The Westoxicateds

Stuck in a creative rut, filmmaker Gilda Pourjabar returns to Iran, her homeland, to talk with her brother Siamak, an illustrator based in Tehran.

Together, they examine how art slips through the cracks of repression to light the rebellious sparks in the hearts of young people.
