- KNOCK DOWN THE HOUSE, the audience award winner from Sundance, which was voted best overall docs and narratives.
- The Glasgow country singing audience favourite from TIFF, WILD ROSE.

- Kenya’s banned but submitted to the academy awards lesbian love story, RAFIKI reminiscent of Spike Lee’s early work.
