Before the Rain 1994 N/R, 115 min. Genre: Drama
Director: Milcho Manchevski Cast: Katrin Cartlidge, Rade Serbedzija, Gregoire Colin, Labina Mitevska, Jay Villiers, Silvija Stojanovska, Phyllida Law, Josif Josifovski, Kiro Ristevski, Petar Mircevski, Ljupco Bresliski, Igor Madzirov, Ilko Stefanovski, Suzana Kirandziska, Katerina Kocevska
Three episodes link together showing hatred, violence, and war. The story centers on the civil wars that Macedonia has endured and is told from the point of view of three different characters. The effect is stunning as events are not in chronological order, and the viewer must put puzzle pieces together. The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.

Dust 2001 R, 127 min. Genre: Drama
Director: Milcho Manchevski Cast: Joseph Fiennes, David Wenham, Adrian Lester, Anne Brochet, Nikolina Kujaca, Rosemary Murphy, Vlado Jovanovski, Salaetin Bilal, Vera Farmiga, Matt Ross, Meg Gibson, Tamer Ibrahim
Two intertwined stories unfold–one in modern New York and the other in Oklahoma and Macedonia 100 years previously. When a small-time burglar breaks into an apartment, an elderly woman (Rosemary Murphy) subdues him and forces the burglar to listen to a story of her family. This involves the tale of two brothers (Joseph Fiennes and David Wenham), one a ruthless, fun-loving killer and the other a righteous Christian, who become rivals not only for a woman but in a Macedonian conflict.
