- Situated right next to the German border, the village of Osinów Dolny boasts 43 hair salons. Seven euros will get you a short trim. While older hairdresser Halina and her unmotivated assistant Andzela wait for business, Halina dispenses unsolicited wisdom. The customers usually come from the other side of the border, the older ones among them still remember a time when the village was known as Niederwutzen. Over the course of German-Polish history, the place has certainly seen its fair share of changes. Business is waning, competition is getting rougher. But chitchatting while the scissors snip away will never go out of style.

- 'Borders, Raindrops' is a film about love, maturity, and hope, growing in a barren and abandoned landscape. The film is divided in two parts, with the protagonist, a young woman - Jagoda - connecting them as a ghostly presence, bringing hope and reconciliation within the two narratives. She is a student visiting family in the summer, living in the declining villages of former Yugoslavia, overlooking the Adriatic coast. In the first story she bonds with a cousin in his mid-thirties, who is building a house in the village, but has no one to marry and live with him. In the second, she helps a teenage cousin understand that his nation is no better than others, and that they all have to learn to live together on the recently established borders.
- With precisely composed shots and detailed interviews with local police officers, hikers, farmers and small business owners, the film explores the few square kilometers at the Brenner Pass, telling an urgent story of Europe in the process.
- BORDER POLITICS follows human rights barrister Julian Burnside as he traverses the globe examining the harsh treatment of refugees metered out by most Western democracies. Seventy years after the world constructed international conventions to ensure the horrors of World War II wouldn't be repeated, Burnside finds it terrifying to see many western political leaders exploiting fears around border protection to extend political power. He questions whether the West has lost its moral compass adopting ideas that reject humanity and undermine democracy. He concludes this erosion of human rights poses a threat to the very democratic values that define Western society.
- Blurred Border is a character-driven web documentary portraying two sides of 100 km peninsula, which with the collapse of the Soviet Union was divided into half-Lithuania, half-Kaliningrad. The Curonian Spit is a narrow sand peninsula, 98 km of length, which separates the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea. In the South, Lithuanian part of the Spit borders with Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation (former germ. Königsberg, lit. Karaliaucius). In the center of this interactive documentary, there are eight characters: four on each side (4 in Kaliningrad and 4 in Lithuania). Two heroes of the same profession from different sides will form the basis of a mirrored portrait. These four portraits of Curionian locals also are reflecting the four seasons on the Curonian Spit. The fisherman is linked with autumn; a writer with winter; a forester with spring and a taxi driver is the most active in summer. According to the origin and composition, the Spit is comprised of natural and human-made complex sections of protective dune-ridge. These various forms were created by waves, wind and the human, which were also helped by the sand grains of various sizes, flora and its distribution, angles and height of dune ridges slopes, and position of the ridge according to the coastline and its inner composition. The natives of the spit, who had created an original ethnic community of fishermen, disappeared during the War and post-War period. Only the spit, forests, and empty fishermen's settlements remained. During the post-War period, the territory was populated by immigrants from the Great Lithuania and other republics, which were a part of the contemporary Soviet Union.
