| DUMPSTER DIVERS. Nat and John are activists that bypass the food on supermarket shelves and wait for nightfall to raid the bins out the back of the stores. 'Dumpsters' are full of 'just past the use-by date' produce - food that is a day or two too old but still perfectly edible. Dumpster Divers reveals an inventive way to find a meal and deal with the serious problem of waste. This mini-doc is a useful 'how to' with instant audience appeal.

YO SOY DEET. This is Deet’s story – a portrait of an eccentric and outspoken Jewish grandmother from Chicago now living on her own and far away from her family as an ex-pat in Antigua, Guatemala. Although it's cheaper living in Central America than the States, Deet is struggling to make ends meet. She brazenly approaches travellers and backpackers in the town square and offers her services as a masseuse. However, it's a lonely life only mixing with people who are 'passing through' and Deet yearns for somebody special in her life.

| MELVIN'S DISABILITY. True to the mock-umentary format, Melvin's Disbability follows the story of a man with fictitious disability... Melvin has 'pipes' for arms. The film focuses on the small and big things that make his life unique... whether it's the differences in the daily routine or the difficulties of relating to family and friends. Using black humour, Melvin (played by Robert Mullins) shows us all that, when it comes down to it, everyone just wants to belong and be loved.

CAMPING IN TOKYO. This frenetic and fun mini-doc explores the culture of pitching a tent and spending the night 'outdoors' in one of the world's most built-up and heavily populated cities. There are many parks and open spaces in and around Tokyo... the perfect place to pitch camp. The economic downturn throughout Asia in the 90s has seen these public areas become makeshift townships made of canvas and debris - a very unusual sight in Japan where homelessness is a taboo subject. However, the question remains: can a cheeky Aussie backpacker save the money he'd normally spend on expensive hostels, and cash in on the authorities reluctance to confront squatters camping in the park?
