Golden autumn landscape on the pictorial level, sheep graze through the high field, logs are artfully arranged at the entrance to the house. On the audio level, a woman talks about the challenges of living in Chicago and starting a family on the remote German prairie. A journey to herself, in which she describes her experiences of integration as a Person of Color. One thing is certain: she already has the local Nazi under control.
A glorified childhood memory: a crispy dessert with a hole in the middle, seen in a Japanese cartoon. The mother corrects: It was a soft doughnut. This cognitive distortion inspired this film, which challenges the boundaries of subjective perception. Images and sounds mix and overlap. Street noise, excerpts of faces, snippets of interviews. Only the people's answers are visible, the questions remain hidden. Once you think about it, consciousness piles up.
An old woman lives alone in her house in a Turkish village. The camera accompanies her in her daily rituals, and even though the gaze is focused on her, she does not return it. Her hands, marked by life, work routinely as she talks about the latest marriages. An attempt at dialog and making contact. An examination of family structures, unspoken worries, and empty spaces between the generations.

The Agenda: Their Vision – Your Future is a feature-length independent documentary by former UK broadcasting executive Mark Sharman (ITV, Sky). It explores claims of a decades-long plan by global elites to centralize control using tools like AI, surveillance, digital currencies, and digital identities. The film warns of a "digital prison" where everyday freedoms—food, energy, money, travel, internet access—could be restricted. It questions the role of institutions like the WHO and critiques the UN's Agenda 2030 and Net Zero goals as potential enablers of global authoritarianism. Featuring expert voices from the UK, USA, and Europe, the documentary draws parallels with dystopian visions from Orwell and Huxley.
Behind the facade of the loud and intimidating motorcycles of The ‘Bangladeshi Bad Boys’ is a group of second-generation Bangladeshi men who find solace in their bikes and community around Shoreditch and Brick Lane. Co-directed by Arun Nangla and Laura Pavone, London Boys offers surprisingly vulnerable moments as it lifts a curtain on the racism faced by the Bangladeshi community in the UK, as well as the frustrations, hurt, and pain that come with it. With a loving lens of East London, the exploration of masculinity and Islamophobia is poignantly told by men facing an identity crisis at the intersection of the generational racism they’ve endured.
