	World War Two (01:32) By Joby Hickey In "World War Two" Joby Hickey conveys the harsh ugly oppression within the war, along with the fear of mankind breaking down. The "what is our policy speech" by Churchill aims to give a small feeling of hope against the brutal imagery photographed from an old book. The faces are roughly shot with extreme contrast to give the war-mongerers a demonic look (not that they needed much help).

	All songs cast long shadows (08:15) By Yvonne Buchheim This documentary records the challenge to find non-professional female singers in Iran who would contribute to the Song Archive.
