Curdled

Danza Macabra Suite

Even though Richard Clarke was the one who repeatedly warned against Al Qaeda, he was perhaps the only member of the administration who took responsibility for the lack of preparedness for the 9/11 attack. His famous testimony 'your government failed you, I failed you' was followed by an apology to the families of the victims, and moved the world. In a new film by award-winning director Michele Ohayon, former counter-terrorism czar Clarke sharply demystifies the role of government and how we can take control over its actions. This timely film offers guidlines and solutions to the deep issues concerning our society today, in order to have a better tomorrow.

An inspiring story about Marion Cloete, a university-trained therapist whose self-sacrificial courage motivates change and hope.

In a nation plagued by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, orphans, rape, and violence, Marion abandons a life of privilege in Johannesburg to build Botshabelo, a village and school that provides orphaned children with shelter, food and education.

The stories of the orphaned children are paralleled with the orphaned elephants of Pilanesberg National Park in South Africa.

In this poignant film, Marion attempts a similar strategy by re-parenting the orphaned children.

Grace, Angels in the Dust

STEAL A PENCIL FOR ME is a compelling documentary feature film by Academy Award® nominee Michèle Ohayon about the power of love and the ability of humankind to rise above unimaginable suffering. 1943: Holland is under total Nazi occupation. In Amsterdam, Jack, an unassuming accountant, first meets Ina at a birthday party - a 20-year-old beauty from a wealthy diamond manufacturing family who instantly steals his heart. But Jack's pursuit of love will be complicated; he is poor and married to Manja, a flirtatious and mercurial spouse. When the Jews are being deported, the husband, the wife and the lover find themselves at the same concentration camp; actually living in the same barracks. When Jack's wife objects to the "girlfriend" in spite of their unhappy marriage, Jack and Ina resort to writing secret love letters, which sustain them throughout the horrible circumstances of the war. Jack: "I'm a very special Holocaust survivor. I was in the camps with my wife and my girlfriend; and believe me, it wasn't easy."

"Michele Ohayon's striking documentary tells this most unusual love story with grace and compassion ... Irrepressibly moving."- Los Angeles Times

Hailed by critics as “wildly entertaining” the cinema verrte - style documentary/comedy features a Cowboy-turned matchmaker who can’t manage his own love life. It follows Ivan Thompson as he helps his clients find the perfect bride— taking a bumpy 600-mile bus trip to a Mexican town, placing ads in the local paper, and leading them through the selection process.

"Michèle Ohayon’s Cowboy del Amor turns out to be one of the sweetest, funniest and most enjoyable nonfiction films you are likely to see this year."
