Challenges of a Solitary Mind
It's hard to be an introvert; especially when you're pushed to be more, or be different, or be something else entirely. This is the story of an introvert facing challenges when constantly being pushed to be more outgoing.
Unlearning Motherhood
Unlearning Motherhood is an animated documentary that tells the tearing and empowering stories of women with their unconventional motherhood experiences, through the journey of a fictional main character who is looking for answers about pregnancy.
Window
Searching across a landscape, the tiny details of everyday life are revealed in this quiet exploration of everything we do — and don't— notice.
Ostrich
A sparrow is in awe of the ostriches, with their long necks, dazzling eyes and muscular legs. The little bird wants to be just like them.
Sisowath Quay
Phnom Penh. Nakry and Sothear meet on the Sisowath quay for their first date. At nightfall, romance turns into a nightmare when the young girl transforms into a strange creature…
Dollhouse Elephant
A group of neighbours must coexist—whether they like it or not (they don’t).
Mater Benefacta
In a convent in Spain during the dictatorship, nuns provide shelter to young girls in need.
Black Man, Black Man
From the moment he wakes up, Elliott gets closer to confronting the child within. Carrying the weight of the feelings he wrestles with inside, reminders echo through his mind; affirmations to carry him through each moment, bringing healing and a path forward to reclaiming his worth.
Fačuk
In a God-fearing village lying between two rivers, everyone recoils from the young pregnant woman who is about to give birth — to an illegitimate child — at any moment.
Storytelling
From cave drawings to echo chambers: the history of humankind is a history of storytelling.
