A young married woman collects the sweet memories of her romance. On closer inspection, she leaves bits of herself behind.
The Story of Ne Kuko
The story of how the power statue of Chief Ne Kuko was stolen should not be forgotten. This nkisi stands, trapped behind glass, in a European museum. The history behind this mysterious statue connects restitution activist Mwazulu Diyabanza to the small village of Kikuku in the mountains of Boma, Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessing

Las flores permanecen en silencio, atestiguando Theo Panagopoulos, 2024, Reino Unido, 17 minutos, inglés, árabe 

Cuando un cineasta palestino radicado en Escocia descubre un archivo cinematográfico escocés de flores silvestres palestinas rara vez visto, decide recuperar el metraje. Este tierno ensayo cinematográfico cuestiona el papel de la creación de imágenes como herramienta tanto de testimonio como de violencia cuando se conecta con los enredos entre las personas y la tierra.
