The Klabona Keepers

The Klabona Keepers is an intimate portrait of the dynamic Indigenous community that succeeded in protecting the Sacred Headwaters, known as the Klabona, from industrial activities. Spanning 15 years of matriarch-led resistance, a small group of determined elders in the village of Iskut heal from the wounds of colonization to push back against law enforcement, government, and some of the world’s largest multinational companies. Nestled between scenes of stand-offs and blockades, land defenders reflect on how their history of forced displacement, residential schools, and trauma strengthened their resolve to protect the very land that was so essential to their healing journey.

Seeking Comfort In An Uncomfortable Place

This short documentary follows three neurodivergent skateboarders Chloe (they/them), Kira (they/she) and Meg (she/her) as they share the challenges they have faced, their coping strategies, and how they have found means of expression, escape and a sense of identity within the sport and its community. From triggers around ignorant teaching at an early age, difficulties with over-stimulation and anxieties with socialising, these three skaters show us the trials of finding a personal balance outside the wider population's grasp of routine behaviour.

Zmowa

The film tells the story of a disturbing conspiracy of silence that has gripped the community. People are afraid to express their opinions, aware that the police are involved in the events. The main subject of the documentary is the brutal murder of 17-year-old Iwona Cygan. The filmmakers try to unravel the mystery of who was responsible for harboring the perpetrators and why this happened for years. However, while watching the film, it is worth bearing in mind that the theories and actions of investigators and the actions of the judiciary are clearly subordinated to the political goals of the Law and Justice party government. To achieve media success, coercion was used to obtain confessions and reliance was placed on anecdotal evidence, as documented by reporter Matthew Baczynski. As a result, the suspects became media convicts and their lives turned into a nightmare.

Can you imagine a world without farmers? Without a doubt, our mealtimes would be far less meaningful and our palates– far more plain. Just think about it, so much of the food we consume throughout the day has been carefully planted, cared for, and plucked by a farmer, so even if you don’t personally know one– you are certainly rewarded by their dedication. A recent challenge for the farming community has been climate change. To reduce its negative impact on farmer livelihood, the Environmental Defense Fund and NC A&T University partnered to teach climate-resilient practices. When the practices proved effective and financially beneficial, the Environmental Defense Fund partnered with us to document their project’s success.

Alice Guy's Dream

This is a short film about Alice Guy-Blaché, the first female director of fiction in cinema history. Alice Guy was Léon Gaumont's secretary at the beginning of the last century and she was the first woman to ever direct actors in front of the camera. In 1895, the Lumière brothers introduced to the world the "Cinématographe", the first camera. Léon Gaumont decided to sell this revolutionary new device. Fascinated, Alice asked her boss for permission to use the camera to make her own films. Mr. Gaumont agreed only under the condition that she “would be able to keep up with her mail.” This short film is a poetic reverie that Alice Guy might have had in her time if only society at the time hadn't presented her with so many challenges.

Cassoulet : la faim des haricots ?

Cassoulet is a local story, a success story from the South-West, which has conquered the whole of France: it is the second most consumed prepared dish in France. Today on the menu of star chefs, in cans or in vacuum-packed trays, it can be enjoyed in all its forms. However, of the 85,000 tonnes of cassoulet produced each year in France by the food industry, only 22,000 tonnes are qualified as "high-end". The rest often has nothing to do with local products. From the high-end productions of Castelnaudary defended by the Cassoulet brotherhood to the industrial products which flood the shelves of mass distribution, from the recognized virtues of the "lingot" bean, to ready meals full of additives,
