- DirectorAlejandro De GraziaJuan Maria StadlerStarsMatthieu RicardTania SingerDavid Steindl-RastAlejandro is an ordinary man, as probably you and me. Like most of us he is in search of happiness, but he has reached that point where he understands that many of the decisions he made in his life, which seemed to bring him calm and satisfaction, only added stress and tiredness. He doesn't know, he doesn't understand how to change his way of thinking. He doesn't know what the path to happiness is. In the year 2018 he has a unique opportunity: to travel in a very close way along a Buddhist monk who lived 50 years in the Himalayas and accompanied the most recognized masters of Tibetan Buddhism (Matthieu Ricard), an extraordinary Benedictine monk of 92 years (Brother David) and a prestigious neuroscientist who has studied the brain of Matthieu Ricard (Tania Singer), during their stays in Buenos Aires and the Argentinean Patagonia. Alejandro's wife, is a cultural producer, and responsible for bringing Matthieu (who has been described by the international press as "the happiest man in the world" and is also a professional photographer) to give a lecture about altruism and happiness in Buenos Aires and to take him on a trek to take pictures of Mount Fitz Roy. This is his opportunity to raise his hand and ask for help to redirect his life and understand the causes of Happiness. Through his genuine humor, his brazenness and vulnerability, "From Stress to Happiness" invites us to go hand in hand with Alejandro, letting him be the voice of the simplest yet most complex questions and listen to the answers of these extraordinary beings. Why am I stressed? What is meditation and what is it for? How to get out of anxiety? How to get out of fear? What does neuroscience have to say about it? What is the purpose of life? How do we develop a life of purpose? How do we build trust? What is the best way to make use of our life? And what are the questions that really make sense to ask ourselves? This adventure is accompanied by memorable landscapes that are breathtaking and remind us of the essence of the transcendental and the simple. Perhaps we will begin to find answers. Between beautiful photography and music, Alejandro transforms himself and invites us to transform ourselves as well. Enjoy the journey.

- DirectorJenny SteinStarsHarold BrownCheri Ezell-VandersluisHoward LymanPeaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home explores the powerful struggle of conscience experienced by several people from traditional farming backgrounds who come to question the basic assumptions of their way of life. A riveting story of transformation and healing, the documentary portrays the farmers' sometimes amazing connections with the animals under their care, while also providing insight into the complex web of social, psychological and economic forces that have led to their inner conflict. Interwoven with the farmers' stories is the dramatic animal rescue work of a newly-trained humane police officer whose sense of justice puts her at odds with the law she is charged to uphold. With strikingly honest interviews and rare footage demonstrating the emotional lives and intense family bonds of animals most often viewed as living commodities, this groundbreaking documentary shatters stereotypical notions of farmers, farm life, and perhaps most surprisingly, farm animals themselves.
