| After Eight (Documentary), D.: Usayd Younis, Mos Hannan, 30:00 Min. A chronicle of a decades-long global campaign for freedom: in 1986, Satpal Ram was the victim of a racially motivated attack in an Indian restaurant. He defended himself, which led to a murder conviction despite clear evidence of self-defence. |
| Creekmouth (Documentary, Animation), D.: Yasmine Djedje-Fisher-Azoume, 04:43 Min. An animation and oral histories project documenting the loss of Creekmouth Village in the 1953 flood. |
| Milk (Documentary), D.: Miranda Stern, 26:51 Min. A filmmaker sets out on a journey to discover the mother she never knew. Like the ancient Japanese art of kintsugi, the act of piecing back together all the scattered, jagged, and broken bits of her mother’s life somehow helps her make sense of her own life, but like the act of filmmaking itself, it is a journey that will never feel complete. |
| Murewa (Documentary), D.: Ché Scott-Heron Newton, 14:52 Min. In a quiet seaside town, Marlon and Murry (Murewa) form a deep friendship, bonding over skateboarding, photography and the carefree adventures of youth. But as they grow older, their lives take different turns. |
| Neil Armstrong & the Langholmites (Documentary), D.: Duncan Cowles, 17:44 Min. Neil Armstrong came back from the Moon in 1969, but it wasn’t until three years later when the people of a tiny Scottish town stepped in, that he finally got home. |
