VIEWS OF THE WORLD

To make ambitious four-hour project "Elsewhere", Austrian filmmaker Nikolaus Geyrhalter spent the millennial year circling the globe. His time capsule includes the perspectives of a reindeer breeder in Siberia and a consumer-free Micronesian culture. Canadian Daniel Sekulich's "Aftermath: The Remnants of War" travels the world on an uglier mission - documenting wars' effects. Also Canadian and globally-minded is Peter Wintonick's technology-focused "Seeing is Believing". Free of borders too is Spanish "The Back of the World" - about a child worker in Peru, Kurd activists in Turkey, and American death row inmates.More localized are: "The Land of Wandering Souls" (Cambodian workers bury Alcatel fiber optic cables), "In Cane For Life" (Brazilian sugar cane-cutters toil), "The Island of Lost Children" (ten Nicaraguan prisoners speak), "The Idle Ones" (Finnish teens waste their summer) and "Beneath the Borqa in Afghanistan" (about that country's troubled history).
