Searching for a Friend
By Guillym Davenport
When the memory of a lost friend is brought into focus for the filmmaker, they set out to try and find them again. What unfolds is a coming of age story about memory and the things we leave behind for the important people in our lives
Stranger in the Crowd
By Matt Alpass
'Stranger in the Crowd’ documents Phil, a man who fell into a life of performing as Elvis (amongst others) for the pure joy and entertainment of people from all walks of life.
This is not a film about an Elvis impersonator, but a snippet into the life of a man who strives to help people escape their own realities - whilst also escaping his.
Citizen of the Great Barrier Reef
By Tom Abood
This documentary follows the work of a team of scientists, explorers and conservationists as they join forces on an ocean adventure to survey the effects of climate change on one of the most remote and rarely visited regions of the Great Barrier Reef.

What should have been an open and shut case proved to be a very different stor
My Dad Elvis
By Eric Piccoli
I always thought that having an Elvis impersonating dad was something normal. As I got older, I quickly realized that it was all but that. It's actually quite special. Especially that at 70 years old, my dad decides to hit the stage one last time, to return as Elvis. “My dad, Elvis” is an intimate and loving portrait by a son whose 70-years-old father is an Elvis impersonator.
