Moments Like This Never Last (2021)
Dash Snow rejected a life of privilege to make his own way as an artist on the streets of downtown New York City in the late 1990s. Developing from a notorious graffiti tagger into an international art star, he documented his drug- and alcohol-fueled nights with the surrogate family he formed with friends and fellow artists Ryan McGinley and Dan Colen before his death by heroin overdose in 2009.

Bad Company (2001)
It is 1980. Sadatomo is at a secondary school in a small town. His parents barely take any notice of him. The strict teacher Kobayashi has hung up a 'humanity index' in the classroom, divided into the categories 'delinquents', 'scum' and 'people'. In each category he has hung name-cards of pupils. One day Kobayashi finds out that Sadatomo and his friends have stolen some things from a shop for fun. Their fathers are informed and as punishment, the children have to write a 'self-critical' essay of no less than thirty pages. For the first time, Sadatomo is beaten by his father. Shocked, he writes a piece entitled 'I am an onion', in which the teacher thinks he can detect a first sign of humanity. That is the start of a confusing situation in which it gets hard to distinguish lies, truth, justified self-criticism and opportunist wheeler dealing, even for the boys.

Shoplifting is Stealing (1975)
This educational film "Shoplifting is Stealing" was produced by Charles Cahill and Associates in 1975. It discusses the issue of shoplifting and the various measures taken by retail stores to combat it. It highlights the significant financial losses due to shoplifting, which amount to over $3.5 billion annually in the U.S. Stores often mark up prices to cover these losses, which can be particularly challenging for small businesses. The film explains that many shoplifters are teenagers who steal for emotional reasons, peer pressure, or thrills rather than necessity. It emphasizes that shoplifting is a serious crime with legal consequences, including a police record. Various security measures are described, such as trained security staff, surveillance cameras, electronic tags, and packaging techniques that make it harder for shoplifters to steal items. The film also follows a scenario where security tracks and apprehends suspected shoplifters using surveillance and communication.
