NEVER TELL ANYONE ABOUT THIS (Никогда никому об этом не рассказывай)
What if you’re a young person living in Russia and the unusual nature of your existence is never spoken about? What if who you really are cannot be shared? And now imagine one day you find more people like you and decide to take yourselves out of the shadows, to go public. A true-life look at a fascinating slice of Russia today.

Indelible Lives
Mya, an impressionable 16-year-old girl, discovers her sex appeal and how to make money from it online. When her mother accidentally discovers Mya’s raunchy online account, they are faced with a breakdown of their relationship. A look at adolescents today, the ‘tester generation’ for a world consumed by social media.
Code Red
It’s 2022. Please, tell us, why is menstruation still stigmatized? It’s a healthy bodily function that affects half the population! Watch how a Ringling College graduate takes a whimsical, super-creative take on middle-schoolers tackling menstruation on their own. This film is for everyone: men and women and definitely all teens! Folks, can we please take care of this one small issue during our lifetime? Perhaps for our daughters or granddaughters?
Ideal Dating with Condoms
Condoms: just use ‘em. Like, for health and safety. Enjoy this humorous look at getting across a public service message using only emojis!
Alfie
When will we dispense with so much unnecessary gender labeling? Like, for starters, gender-normed clothing? Perhaps we could learn from young cousins Alfie and Julia, who begin a journey of self-exploration and reject gendered fashion. As Alfie comes to terms with their budding queer identity, they must also navigate the tides of toxic masculinity rooted in their relationship with their Irish Catholic father.

What if you’re a young person living in Russia and the unusual nature of your existence is never spoken about? What if who you really are cannot be shared? And now imagine one day you find more people like you and decide to take yourselves out of the shadows, to go public. A true-life look at a fascinating slice of Russia today.


What we love: the energy, the optimism, the solidarity, the creativity. The willingness to defy stereotypes.
