WE WERE THE SCENERY. Directed by Christopher Robert Radcliff. In 1975, soon after the end of the Vietnam War, Hoa Thi Le and Hue Nguyen Che fled the country on a small boat. After nine days at sea, they docked in the Philippines, where they were held in a refugee camp. During this time, along with nearly 100 other refugees, they were utilized as background extras in the filming of APOCALYPSE NOW.

CENTAUR BABY. Directed by Elvira Ibragimova. It's Halloween; we're at a cramped, sweaty, costume party where a break-up, a proposal and a meet-cute all happen at once. Filmmakers in attendance.
