- Vividly captures the stark contrasts of Maud Lewis' life through an artful combination of documentary footage, dramatic recreation, interviews with people who knew her and evocative footage of many of her paintings.
- Moser River is a small Canadian community two hours from Halifax on Nova Scotia's eastern shore, where residents have been plagued by vandalism and other forms of intimidation for over two generations. In the absence of adequate policing, acts of violence have escalated to the point where some residents have taken the law into their own hands. This increase in lawlessness resulted in the murder of Donald Findlay in the Halifax County Correctional Centre 90 minutes into serving a 14-day weekend sentence for dangerous driving.
- Two interconnected journeys - one Inuit and a parallel non-native one. Both are in search of the elusive and mythical Nuliajuk, a female deity whose presence is seen in countless works of Inuit art.
- Explores the Inuit relationship to Animals and the Environment.
- At Caledonia Junior High - like at so many schools - students and teachers live in an environment of disrespect and potential danger.
- In this hard-hitting and incisive documentary we hear many military wives speaking forcefully, movingly and humorously about the tensions and difficulties of being married to the military family. Illness, abuse, death, separation, uncertainty, insecurity - all of these are problems faced by military wives. The military has always relied on women, not only to keep the home fires burning, but also to keep up the morale and behaviour of the troops on the front-lines.
- A road movie about Scots in Canada. "Flight" traces the culture they perpetuate and through a series of portraits, follows how emigrants express their identity often generations after their families have moved there.
- In Songs in Stone John Houston uses childhood memories as a prism through which to see the history of the times and the fascinating and complex development of Inuit Art over the last half century. A panoply of 'northern' and 'southern' voices speak of the economic and social circumstances which lead to the birth of the movement to bring Inuit art to the rest of the world. We have an opportunity to meet carvers and printmakers such as Kenojuak Ahsevak, Osuitok Ipeelie, Iyola Kingwatsiaq, Kananginak Pootoogook, Lukta Qiatsuq, and Mannumie Shaqu - all pivotal figures in the development of Inuit Art. Songs in Stone has won a number of prestigious awards and touched the hearts of many.
- In the '60s, the Mushuau Innu had to abandon their 6,000-year nomadic culture and settle in Davis Inlet. Their relocation resulted in cultural collapse and widespread despair.
