In order to start a new love, there is a love that needs to be redone. One day, Riho, the girl he thought he had broken up with, comes back with a withered sunflower flower. Yuji is confused, but he accepts her, but Riho and her friends have no memory of their breakup. However, not only Riho, but also his friends have no memory of their break-up, and events like déjà vu begin to occur around Yuji. When Yuji realises the truth, the sunflowers are in full bloom. This light comedy depicts the steps of the protagonist as he climbs the next step in his love life by redoing "the love he wanted to cherish more", in the flow of time from the present to past to present. The director's sense and playfulness can be felt in the supporting characters, including the protagonist's beloved car, which does not listen to him easily.

One day in early summer. Yoshiko, the shy older sister, and Kana, the active younger sister, are following Sawada, a university student with long hair. He is the boy of Yoshiko's dreams. Kana is left alone with Sawada, who is looking for a notebook that fell into the river, and starts asking him questions. When she is left alone, Kana starts to ask Sawada about his notebook, which has fallen into the river, and Sawada is taken aback by Kana's frankness but joins in the conversation. When Kana approaches him to tell him about her sister's feelings, he becomes reluctant to leave her side. As they repeatedly argue, their hearts somehow grow closer.

What colour is black? What colour is white? Hideo, who has been blind since birth, likes to have his wife Izumi recite Rimbaud's poem "Vowels" to him. On the day of his eye operation, when the bandages will be removed in three days' time, he asks Izumi to recite the poem in a state of heightened anticipation and anxiety. Rimbaud's poem, which begins "A is black, woo is white, ae is red...", was the starting point for this work, which confirms the "seeing" in everyday life: explaining a painting, watching a video, going for a jog. Gradually, even for the "sighted" spectator, ordinary scenery such as a wire in the sky or a vending machine at night begins to look beautiful. It is as if the "will to see" is the reason why we "really see".

Rebellion of the Flowers tells the story of a gardener, Jan, who “understood nature’s needs” and worked hard to grow and care for his plants. He protected and looked after his flowers, providing them with “love and gentle care.” He took great pride in his work and, as a result of his labor, felt “filled with purpose” and “close to God.” However, Jan’s love and adoration of the flowers transforms into a distortion of his power, as he becomes jealous of the flowers bowing “under the intense authority of the sun.” Jan’s body reflects this internal transformation, and he becomes a looming totalitarian figure demanding the obedience of his flowers. When he realizes that his shadow can block the sun, the flowers rebel and twist around his body, drawing him into the earth. The next morning, the sun comes out, and a “sparking and sweet smell” (perhaps Jan’s body transformed into metaphorical fertilizer) mixes with the natural perfume of the flowers.

The animated short shows how fate can determine the decision making process, even at the highest levels, where one would expect responsibility and careful reasoning. It does so by lightheartedly exposing the supposed argumentation as nothing more than the result of an absurdly complicated and haphazard Rube Goldberg-like contrivance.

The essential party rave video. A unique audio visual rave experience featuring extended mixes from the UKs top rave DJs.

The issue here is "Black Women" and the beauty industry; and women in general as objects. Beauty is not what we are, it is what we are sold. Beauty is a commodity. Black Women are further taught that no matter how hard they try they can never buy into this market, because to be black is not to be beautiful. The women in the tape share their experiences in trying to be beautiful.

Christian character growth requires learning to grow and to apply God's principles of love, honesty, and forgiveness.

Shot in Lapland and Brazil, this film is about Man’s relationship with Nature, from the indigenous people’s point of view. Listen to the oral culture of the Saamis from the Arctic and Fulni-ôs from Brazil. Beyond the ice fields, beyond the trees, the climates, the skins, the same intuition : the whole future is in their own hands.

A twisted and strange version of a nursery rhyme.

Sultan ISSA MAIGARI of the Adamaoua Province, Northern Cameroon, is the traditional political and religious leader experiencing a violent transformation of the political structures in his country. He struggles to survive as a leader through the first democratic elections in Cameroon. How is he to keep the confidence of his court, of the local population and how is he to satisfy the president and the central authorities? His servants, his praise-singers, his wives, his concubines are all trying out solutions for him, but not necessarily successful ones.

The film is dedicated to the ethical freedom of choice between evil and good, the theme of the absurdity of life, mental anomalies that have become more acute in the modern world.
