The documentary "How the Titanic became my lifeboat" is based on a true story about an Icelandic boy called Brynjar Karl and how his fascination with Titanic became his lifeline to independence. Brynjar’s story began with an insatiable desire to escape the limitations of autism and become a part of the expressive, vibrant world around him. His fascination with Titanic pointed the way, his untapped talents set wheels in motion. While there is no cure for autism, there are ways to challenge it. The film explores those possibilities with Brynjar and other young people who share their experiences being on the autism spectrum and how their talent elevated them. Brynjar has become an important advocate for young people on the autism spectrum calling after acceptance and inclusion in the school systems and workplaces for people on the spectrum.

Get ready to be acquainted with 17 brave Icelandic women on the autistic spectrum in the documentary “Seeing the Unseen” The film sheds light on the lives of women and girls on the autism spectrum. Girls are much less likely to be diagnosed with autism than boys, with many being left undiagnosed until adulthood. Autistic girls are generally considered better at masking their autistic traits than boys, which makes them appear neurotypical and slip under the diagnostic radar. These girls often experience struggles in life, not knowing that they are autistic. They often feel different, and they seldom get the support and understanding they need. They constantly try to fit into a confusing world at school, at work and all too often experience painful social conflicts. This has a profoundly negative effect on their health and well-being, often causing both emotional and physical illnesses. Autistic females are often diagnosed with numerous physical and psychological ailments before autism is discovered. Let's make a change! We hope to create a dialog with YOU after you have watched the film so that we can together work towards building awareness. Seeing the unseen is a global movement that aims to create acceptance towards women on the spectrum. Together we are more able to change attitudes and improve how people treat women on the spectrum. If the film inspired you, we would really appreciate if you could share it with friends that you feel should learn more about women on the autistic spectrum. Come join us in a dialog @unseenautism on Facebook and Twitter A film by Bjarney Ludviksdottir and Kristjan Kristjansson in cooperation with the Icelandic Autism society.

TEZAAB ('acid' in Hindi) is a documentary about women who have survived some of the most brutal manifestations of gender-based violence imaginable. The documentary sheds light on this horrific type of violence - and how the survivors of such attacks find the will to live and the way out of the enormous mental and physical pain that accompanies such an attack. The viewer also gets to know how - despite incredibly difficult circumstances, in a society that drives them away with apathy, prejudice, and ignorance - they rise up strong and proud. Lina Thoroddssen from VALA Motion Pictures - co. producer, director, videographer and editor Seema Kinchhi from Leaping Frog - Line and co. producer About Acid attacks have appeared across the world in relatively recent times, as modern technology makes large quantities of concentrated acids cheap, and readily available. Acid attacks, or “acid throwing”, have been declared a genderspecific crime, given the fact that at least 80% of the victims are women. Although acid attacks have been reported in many countries around the world, they are most common in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia and India.
