Sam is a movie producer. He is 48years old and still single. Never married, but suddenly decides he wants a family. However, even with his hope, he has no idea how to build relationships as he lived single and free his whole life. The story finally deepens as he meets a Lisa, who is a widow and much younger than him. Considering the age gaps, the story illustrates the two characters' mental age as a serious, but interesting love-comedy.

Mousy office girl Junko (Norie Yasui) has long been dominated by her sexually active mom (Makiko Watanabe).  Although withdrawn and shy, Junko finds very unlikely liberation from a porn promoter, who asks her the key question that opens her up to a new world: "Wouldn't it be fun if you could become someone else?" This someone else, suggested by the director of her first porn shoot, is a blue-haired, sailor suit wearing otaku character named "Lulu." Junko embodies the role quickly, reveling in the double life she leads and her secret satisfaction that she is not the worthless person her mother thinks she is; strangers watch her, desire her, and send her fan letters. But Lulu is beginning to find herself transforming deeper into her alter ego, "Lulu." Can she balance the identities before it's too late?

This film develops a psychological drama through cinematic means to an extradinary level of dramatic intensity. The use of the camera is especially remarkble just as the play of the actors. The jury also underlines the achievent to make a film of great power of expression with very limited financial means.

Director: Bahman Maghsoudlou
Cast: Reza Baraheni, Ramsey Clark, Mohammad Ali Dowlatshahi, Esmail Khoi, Behrooz Moazami, Javad Mojabi, Shirin Neshat,

Ardeshir Mohasses (1938-2008), was Iran's foremost political cartoonist, satirist, painter and illustrator. Drawing upon his intimate knowledge of Iran's culture, history, and sociopolitical situation, Ardeshir attracted the attention of not only the intellectuals, poets and writers of Iran of the time, but also the international community.

The filmmaker seeks to portray the beauty of Ardeshir's purpose and power in crafting his art to convey the plight of the oppressed and his universal sense of justice and tyranny expressed visually. Interviews with prominent critics and friends around the world are arranged to depict the nuances of Ardeshir's life: his time and career in Iran; later, his art and passion in the United States; sources of his brilliant inspiration; his private reclusive moments as well as his progressive political and social outlook. Ardeshir's assorted artistic endeavors are comprehensively covered, viewers will see samples of his political cartoons, visual commentaries and works for the New York Times in his avant-garde style.

Cast: HPG, Cindy Dollar, Michael, Stracy, Phil Hollyday, Ariana Agia, Darlyne, Marco, Elektra, Supersex, William, Leona Feel, Nymphy, Sexy Black, Pom pom gril, Puceau, Sophia, Anna, Super Pussy, Joe

An amusing and poignant examination of one man's career as a director/performer of pornography. This cinematic penetration into the adult film industry and France's most prominent skin auteur Hervé P. Gustave, who goes by the moniker HPG, reveals the trials and tribulations of the ever expanding and increasingly demanding adult industry.

In this tragic story of human debris, we watch helplessly as adult film performers capture money shots, dance around anatomy for soft porn gigs, and coax reluctant amateurs to perform as the clock is ticking. Culled from 10 years of drenched, hellish footage, renowned visual artist (and first time filmmaker) Raphael Siboni shapes an intriguing portrait, one that never glorifies or condemns its subject or his chosen profession.

WARNING: THIS FILM CONTAINS FOOTAGE OF SEXUAL NATURE HIGHLY UNSUITABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER EIGHTEEN.
