Crime After Crime - 1 July 2011

Director: Yoav Potash 
Genre: Documentary
Plot: CRIME AFTER CRIME tells the dramatic story of the legal battle to free Debbie Peagler, an incarcerated survivor of domestic violence. Over 26 years in prison could not crush the spirit of this determined African-American woman, despite the wrongs she suffered, first at the hands of a duplicitous boyfriend who beat her and forced her into prostitution, and later by prosecutors who used the threat of the death penalty to corner her into a life behind bars for her connection to the murder of her abuser. Her story takes an unexpected turn two decades later when two rookie land-use attorneys step forward to take her case. Through their perseverance, they bring to light long-lost witnesses, new testimonies from the men who committed the murder, and proof of perjured evidence. Their investigation ultimately attracts global attention to victims of wrongful incarceration and abuse, and takes on profound urgency when Debbie is diagnosed with cancer. Filming in and out of prison for over five years, filmmaker Yoav Potash methodically documented this story as it unfolded. With exclusive access to Debbie Peagler and her attorneys,CRIME AFTER CRIME tells an unforgettable story of a relentless quest for justice.

Names of the Love - 24 June 2011

Director: Michel Leclerc 
Screenwriter: Michel Leclerc, Baya Kasmi 
Starring: Sara Forestier, Jacques Gamblin 
Genre: Comedy
Plot: Baya Benmahmoud (Sara Forestier), a young, extroverted liberal, lives by the old hippie slogan: "Make love, not war" to convert right-wing men to her left-wing political causes by sleeping with them. She seduces many and so far has received exceptional results – until she meets Arthur Martin (Jacques Gamblin), a Jewish middle-aged, middle-of-the road scientist. Bound by common tragic family histories (the Algerian War and Holocaust under Vichy), the two improbably fall in love. Amid the humorous lasciviousness and zany moments, filmmaking duo Michel Leclerc and co-writer Baya Kasmi inject satirical riffs on such hot-button sociopolitical issues as Arab-Jewish relations, anti-Semitism, immigration, and racial and cultural identity.

The two embark on an increasingly dangerous sadomasochistic relationship in which pleasure, pain and love merge.
