The Other Fellow

Meet a diverse group of men, real men across the globe all sharing the same name: James Bond. Australian director Matthew Bauer's energetic exploration of masculine identity features a gay New York theatre director, a Swedish 007 super-fan with a Nazi past, an African American Bond accused of murder, the ornithologist whose name was stolen by author Ian Fleming to name his fictional secret agent, and two resilient women caught up in it all.

The Primitive

The Pharmaceutical Empire Emoxx revolutionizes mental health, inventing a meta-chip capable of blocking any unwanted emotion. After the Great Famine in 3013, implantation of the EmoxxChip becomes mandatory, blocking all forms of love and affection in order to immediately halt the birth rate. One woman, Ilu, a feisty prostitute is immune to the chip, leaving her alone and exposed to her scrambled feelings. Her only hope to escape this cold world is her own sheer will and the unlikely help of one man.
