Billy Elliot
Critically acclaimed, Oscar(R)-nominated coming-of-age drama about a working class English youth named Billy Elliott (Jamie Bell) who defies the macho ethic of his conservative mining town by taking up ballet dancing. At first, Billy's father (Gary Lewis) is appalled, but it seems that Billy has the talent to create a rosier future than one in the coal mines, a dream that just might come true with the help of a dedicated teacher (Julie Walters).

Get Real
Steven (Ben Silverstone), a British high-school teen, has known he was different from his friends since age 11, but he keeps a low profile in order to avoid beatings.

Cabaret Balkan
An endless circle of macho violence, cruelty and revenge fuels this series of linked stories from filmmaker Goran Paskaljevic, based on the play "The Powder Keg" by Dejan Dukovski.
