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.

Environmental Defense Fund

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.

Dinamo Mesken

With the immense interest of teenagers and children in football, Ertuğrulgazi Mesken Sports Club is established in 1971 in Bursa in the Ertuğrulgazi Mesken district. In 1975, Bursa S.C. is rival to the visiting Dinamo Kiev for a match. The young people of Mesken, impressed by the ideology and football of the Soviet team, rename their local team ’Dinamo Mesken.’ As political strife and armed conflicts rise by the end of the 1970s, pressure amounts, custodies and deaths taking place around the neighbourhood overwhelm the team and its players. The club is shut down based on political grounds in 1982. The players and members of the club suffer custody and torture. The massive impact of the military regime after the coup in 1982 that affected both the district and the team are told through the witness accounts of those who have lived through this exceptional period.

Granma. Trombones from Havana

In the 60th year of the revolution, four young Cubans search for traces of history: Daniel, whose grandfather Faustino Pérez became the first minister for nationalization of property after the revolution, still has a catalog from an auction where confiscated berets and seaside villas were sold. Software programmer Christian traces his grandfather’s path to the Angolan civil war, and Milagro, a history student, tries to understand why the revolution that enabled her to study barely allows her to earn a living when she becomes a professor. Diana is a musician whose grandfather was once one of the founding members of the Orquesta Maravillas de Florida.
