Hear the Voices from the House
In Azerbaijan, Sanubar and a courageous group of women are determined to break the culture of silence and fear surrounding domestic violence and femicide, using their strength and solidarity to empower survivors and ignite change.
Glasses Crack, Tablecloths Splinter
This film represents a conscious effort to revisit the memories of Georgians from the period that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union, through the time capsules of their newly digitized home video cassettes.
Queer Fighters of Ukraine
Before the full-scale invasion, subversive collective Rebel Queers would defy the heteronormative and patriarchal world that so suffocated them by scrawling on the walls of Kyiv: ‘Queer Sex,’ ‘Make Queer Punk Again,’ and ‘Be Queer, Do Crime, Hail Satan,’ among others. The driving force behind Rebel Queers is Angelika Ustymenko, a non-binary and neurodivergent artist and filmmaker.
