Park Avenue: Money, Power & The American Dream is a documentary that delves into the drastic wealth differences and power dynamics in American society. It examines the lives of billionaires, the struggles of the poor, and the impact of influential organizations like Koch Industries. The film covers various themes such as the rise of extreme poverty, the co-operative movement, architectural history, and the effects of labor unions. It showcases the contrasting lifestyles between the wealthy inhabitants of Fifth Avenue and the residents of The South Bronx. Moreover, it highlights the concept of plutocracy, the consortium of powerful elites, and the challenges faced by those striving for upward mobility.

The film tells the story of the intimate and unprecedented encounter between the photojournalists of the Magnum Agency and the world of cinema. The confrontation of two seemingly opposite worlds – fiction and reality. For 70 years their paths crossed: a family of photographers, amongst them the biggest names in photography, and a family of actors and filmmakers who helped write the history of cinema, from John Huston to Marilyn Monroe to Orson Welles, Kate Winslet and Sean Penn.

In October 1987, the documentary film collective Amber Films from Newcastle became the first British film crew ever allowed to shoot in East Germany. They filmed the workers of the state-owned fishing concern in Warnemünde and a brigade of crane operators at the state Warnow dockyards. Just two years later, East Germany was history, including most of the jobs it once provided. Twenty-five years later, in 2014, the filmmakers returned to an utterly different Rostock. They visited the people they had filmed in 1987. Together, documentarians and subjects look at excerpts from the earlier film, and talk about the enormous changes the men and women experienced, how they dealt with them, and how they feel today.

This short documentary showcases Australian photographer Trent Parke’s The Black Rose exhibit while delving into his past, techniques, and philosophy of art.

The film is about Moses Coady, who was called many things in his lifetime, but who proved to be the most effective social reformer Canada has known. He went into the villages, organized the people into study groups, helped them set up credit unions and co-operatives, and freed them from the semi-feudal conditions they lived in. Today, people from all over the world come to study his methods at the Coady International Institute in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. (NFB)
