Amazomania

Nathan Grossman

Revisiting a famed expedition to the Amazon, this discerning documentary considers how Western journalism has historically projected and reinforced colonial and capitalist views on other cultures.

Low Expectations

Eivind Landsvik

When a musician's career implodes, she retreats home, takes a job at a high school and quietly pieces herself back together. A sweetly low-key Cannes gem about mental healing, second chances and the unexpected joy of starting over.

No Good Men

Shahrbanoo Sadat

When Kabul's only female camerawoman is given a career opportunity by the last man she expected, she finds herself falling for someone in a city that is about to fall itself. A funny, warm and deeply political romance from one of the most exciting voices in world cinema.

No Rest For The Wicked

Kasper Kalle

On a remote Faroese island in 1862, a young fisherman is enamoured by a mysterious stranger. When disaster strikes, desire, grief, and superstition collide in this haunting, queer folk horror.

Palestine 36

Annemarie Jacir

An ambitious fresco detailing the Palestinian revolt against the British Mandate, Annemarie Jacir's Palestine 36 is a personal and powerful portrayal of a people's struggle through History. A film about the past that speaks to the present.
