SPRING, SUMMER, FALL, WINTER AND SPRING (SUNDAY FEATURE) – Sunday September 7 at 9.00 PM
The seasons symbolise the stages in the life of man, in this case, a young Korean monk who shares a floating monastery with his master. Under the watchful eyes of the old monk, the young man experiences the loss of innocence when play turns to cruelty; the awakening of love when a woman enters their closed world; the murderous power of jealousy and obsession; the price of redemption and the enlightenment of experience.

FERRY TALES (INTERNATIONAL DOCO) - Tuesday September 9 at 8.30 PM
A documentary about a secret world that exists in the powder room of the Staten Island Ferry. From suburban mums to socialites, white-collar and blue-collar workers, these women are part of each others lives for 30 minutes of every day, as they gather around mirrors to put on their makeup – and talk.
