Whether it’s the long wait for a reunion, a trip plagued by setbacks or a pilgrimage for answers, these films navigate desire, racism, family and what we hope to find at the end of the line.

Black British Oscar-winning filmmaker James Lucas makes his directorial debut in this visually-arresting, empathetic and witty film parable about Modern Britain and current ruptures in it's society. Arthur and Otto are late for a very important wedding in the English countryside. Setting off on Otto's chopper 'Excalibur', they encounter a number of obstacles, mankind and environmental, that will test their determination and will. Inspired by the paintings of Turner and Constable and ancient Chinese philosophy, Paint the Dragons Eyes is a story that opposes populism and prejudice and espouses social equality and empathy.
