Plane Days

Uncertain

A keen observation of a sun-dappled and still-watered swamp, Uncertain contemplates a frequently overlooked and enigmatic town whose lake, and only real source of income, comes under threat from an aquatic nuisance of the botanical variety. Perhaps unsurprisingly for a site so-named, there is a lack of consensus about the Texas town's origin: whether the result of a surveyor's confusion when marking an early map, or steamboat captains' belief that docking there was an unknowable, impossible task, an auspicious beginning is offered for the unsettled and yearning inhabitants.

The Roper

The Roper is the true short story of Kendrick, a young calf roper in Lafayette who dreams of one day making it to the rodeo national championship in Las Vegas.

Impersonator

Ilham’s friends submitted his photo into a worldwide Obama look alike contest and he won. Life changed quickly, with lots of invitations to speak all around Asia, and one big one – to the White House. In efforts to encourage a very reluctant Ilham to take on the persona, many people along the way have offered help. The Minister of Health gave him the suit he is wearing. He doesn’t remember who gave him this particular tie.

Ufologist

Peter Davenport runs the National UFO Reporting Center, a one-man operation fielding phone calls and collecting data from UFO sightings around the U.S. Prank calls, hoaxes, and misguided interpretations mix in with legitimately breathless reports of the extraordinary. As a quiet bachelor in solitary scientific pursuit, Peter remains something of an enigma in the small town of Harrington, WA.

Taking Cuttings

From the generation that lived through rationing in Britain, Dorothy Bradberry learned not to let anything go to waste - not a second nor any object.

Shofar

Monowi

Dirt Racer

A saturday evening at the Lone Star Speedway with JR, a young circle track dirt racer.

Bavarianism

To save their once-busy logging town from economic disaster, the people of Leavenworth set out to transform themselves into a tourist destination. As the town is tucked in the middle of a steep mountain pass, a Bavarian theme was suggested and put to a (contentious) vote. One brave shop owner took the first step by rebuilding the facade of his store front. With small, initial success, the rest of the town quickly followed.

Land Without Bread

An exploration —manipulated and staged— of life in Las Hurdes, in the province of Cáceres, in Extremadura, Spain, as it was in 1932. Insalubrity, misery and lack of opportunities provoke the emigration of young people and the solitude of those who remain in the desolation of one of the poorest and least developed Spanish regions at that time.
