The Call of the Wild (Ron Lamothe, 2008 USA)
Fantasma (Lisandro Alonso, 2006 Argentina)
The Other Half (Ying Liang, 2006 China) and Taking Father Home (Ying Liang, 2005 China)
Profit Motive and the Whispering Wind (John Gianvito, 2007 USA)
Somers Town (Shane Meadows, 2008 UK) and Dead Man’s Shoes (Shane Meadows, 2004 UK)
Unrelated (Joanna Hogg, 2007 UK)
