Abstract: Trish Edgewater is the Slumber Corps' top recruiter. On the phone Trish can get even the most reluctant healthy dreamer to donate sleep to an insomniac in crisis - one of hundreds of thousands of people who have totally lost the ability to sleep. Run by the wealthy and enigmatic Storch brothers, the Slumber Corps is at the forefront of the fight against this deadly new disease. But when Trish is confronted by "Baby A," the first universal sleep donor, and the mysterious "Donor Y," whose horrific infectious nightmares are threatening to sweep through the precious sleep supply, her faith in the organization and in her own motives begins to falter.

Abstract: Jasmine and Chelsea are best friends on a mission--they're sick of the way women are treated even at their progressive NYC high school, so they decide to start a Women's Rights Club. They post their work online--poems, essays, videos of Chelsea performing her poetry, and Jasmine's response to the racial microaggressions she experiences--and soon they go viral. But with such positive support, the club is also targeted by trolls. When things escalate in real life, the principal shuts the club down. Not willing to be silenced, Jasmine and Chelsea will risk everything for their voices--and those of other young women--to be heard. These two dynamic, creative young women stand up and speak out in a novel that features their compelling art and poetry along with powerful personal journeys that will inspire readers and budding poets, feminists, and activists

Abstract: Ricky, Gabe, Lewis and Cassidy are men bound to their heritage, bound by society, and trapped in the endless expanses of the landscape. Now, ten years after a fateful elk hunt, which remains a closely guarded secret between them, these men – and their children – must face a ferocious spirit that is coming for them, one at a time. A spirit which wears the faces of the ones they love, tearing a path into their homes, their families and their most sacred moments of faith. Ten years after that fateful hunt, these men are being stalked themselves. Soaked with a powerful gothic atmosphere, the endless expanses of the landscape press down on these men – and their children – as the ferocious spirit comes for them one at a time.

Abstract: Hero to some, outlaw to others, Kelly throws a long shadow over a specific period of Australian history. Spanning his life from his younger years to the time leading up to his death, the film explores the story behind this legendary figure. Nurtured by the notorious bushranger Harry Power and fuelled by the unfair arrest of his mother, Kelly recruits a wild bunch of warriors to plot a campaign of anarchy and rebellion that will grip the entire country. Youth and tragedy collide in the Kelly Gang, and at the beating heart of this tale is the fractured and powerful love story between a mother and son.

Abstract: The Dene have lived in the vast Mackenzie River Valley since time immemorial, by their account. To the Dene, the land owns them, not the other way around, and it is central to their livelihood and very way of being. But the subarctic Canadian Northwest Territories are home to valuable resources, including oil, gas, and diamonds. With mining came jobs and investment, but also road-building, pipelines, and toxic waste, which scarred the landscape, and alcohol, drugs, and debt, which deformed a way of life..

Abstract: Anni Quaranta. Nello stato americano del Mississippi, dedito ancora prevalentemente all'agricoltura, i bianchi hanno il predominio e guardano con sospetto la popolazione di colore. Lucas Beauchamp, un uomo di colore che ha la reputazione di non rispettare i bianchi e di non sottomettersi, viene ritrovato svenuto all'alba in un campo con in mano una pistola ancora fumante vicino al cadavere di un bianco. Lucas viene subito accusato di assassinio e arrestato e non servono a nulla le sue proteste e le sue dichiarazioni di innocenza: nessuno gli crede. Quando poi chiede a Gavin Stevens, il migliore avvocato dello stato, di rappresentarlo in tribunale, questi, ritenendolo colpevole, rifiuta. Chick, un ragazzo del luogo, che Lucas ha aiutato in passato, è l'unico a credere alla sua innocenza e quando capisce che gli abitanti del luogo stanno per andare a prelevare il prigioniero per linciarlo, si reca da Stevens chiedendo di intervenire e provare l'innocenza di Lucas.
