Do You Know What Time It Is Directed by Paul Olding Science Documentary (59 mins, US)
Particle physicist Professor Brian Cox asks, 'What time is it?' It's a simple question and it sounds like it has a simple answer. But do we really know what it is that we're asking? Brian visits the ancient Mayan pyramids in Mexico where the Maya built temples to time. He finds out that a day is never 24 hours and meets Earth's very own Director of Time. He journeys to the beginning of time, and goes beyond within the realms of string theory, and explores the very limit of time. He discovers that we not only travel through time at the speed of light, but the experience we feel as the passing of time could be an illusion.

"I Am" Directed by Tom Shadyac Documentary (80 mins, US)
I AM is a prismatic, probing, and utterly engaging non-fiction film that poses two provocative questions: what's wrong with our world and what we can do to make it better? The filmmaker asking these questions is Tom Shadyac, one of Hollywood's leading comedy practitioners and the creative force behind such blockbusters as "Ace Ventura," "Liar Liar," "The Nutty Professor," and "Bruce Almighty." However in I AM, Shadyac steps in front of the camera to recount the story what happened to him after a cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good. Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged a changed man with a new sense of purpose and a new focus. He was determined to investigate how he as an individual, and we as a race, could improve the world we live in and the way we live. Armed with nothing but his innate curiosity and a camera crew to film his adventures, Shadyac set out on a twenty-first century quest for enlightenment. Meeting with a variety of thinkers and doers—remarkable men and women from the worlds of science, philosophy, and faith—including such luminaries as David Suzuki, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Lynne McTaggart, Ray Anderson, John Francis, Coleman Barks, and Marc lan Barasch—Shadyac appears on-screen as character, commentator, guide, and even, at times, guinea pig, An irrepressible "Everyman" who asks many tough questions, but offers no easy answers, he takes the audience to places it has never been before, and presents even familiar phenomena in completely new and different ways.

Neti Neti Directed by Filippo Carli Documentary (21 mins, Italy)
Neti Neti is a Sanskrit term used to define divinity, literally meaning: "Not this, Not that". This short meditative film, shot in southern India, is grounded in a simple question: What is beauty? But there are many other questions implied: Why in a poor place like India is the beauty so strongly expressed? And why in present western cultures, did we lose our beauty? This film is a journey through the villages and the temples of a country where the lives of the people are close to the holy present.

Lost and forgotten in the Indian jungle for hundreds of years, the temple city of Khajuraho has become world-famous for its masterpieces of erotic art. Often described as The Kama Sutra in Stone,' these temples present far more than an ordinary exhibition of human sexuality. They are a vivid expression of Tantra, an ancient non-dualistic philosophy that embraces all life as divine. The Love Play of the Gods explores the profound vision of the Tantric sages and reveals its compelling relevance in our modern-day lives.
