Tennis is a way for Alexander Bublik to express himself. It is not his entire being or identity. Instead, he introduces himself as a, “full-time father and a part-time tennis player”, a description that reflects the 28-year-old’s priorities and his playful approach to the sport in which he has earned more than $10 million in prize money. Bublik is largely unpredictable and vastly entertaining. He maintains a sharp sense of humour on court, allowing him to freely enjoy the game without letting fierce competition consume his life. Tennis, for Bublik, is both a stage and a playground — a place for him to take risks, embrace creativity and find joy.

Fragmented coastal scenes scattered across the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area: a security guard on duty at a Shenzhen beach, a woman posing for bridal photos along the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade, children playing in the shallows beneath a bridge, the transparent glass interior of the M+ Museum, the rooftop of Sky100, the upper reaches of the Pearl River, and the waterfront of Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong, among others. Most of these filming locations were chosen from lists of photogenic sites popular on Xiaohongshu (RedNotes), i.e. places that have become “internet-famous” through a single viral post, attracting waves of photographers and tourists. Yet the artist deliberately diverges from these original images, turning away from the sharply defined details and edges of these celebrated sites. Instead, the camera retreats into marginalized zones at the limits of visibility, areas suffused with blinding halos of light.

Inspired by a visit with Orlando’s vibrant Moroccan community, Central Florida “arts instigator” Terry Olson travels to Rabat to uncover the human stories behind the 1975 Green March—when 350,000 unarmed Moroccan civilians crossed into the Western Sahara, prompting Franco’s Spain to relinquish its colonial claim. Through firsthand accounts and historical reflection, Olson and Moroccan director Ahmed Bouchalga explore the legacy of that pivotal moment and the decades of regional tension that followed. Olson also delves into the enduring, little-known bond between Morocco and the United States, whose diplomatic relationship stretches back to 1777, when Morocco became the first nation to recognize American independence. Timely and illuminating, this powerful documentary reflects on one nation’s struggle for independence amid the global pressures of decolonization, and the lasting lessons that continue to resonate today with those who choose to heed the call of freedom.

A filmmaker inside Gaza. Another locked out, trying to reach him and failing. What begins as an attempt to make a film across distance turns into something much more immediate—an unfolding record of life under constant attack, captured from within. Through Suhail’s camera, we follow children who are still studying, playing, joking, and holding on to some sense of normalcy as drones circle overhead and evacuation orders fall from the sky. The film moves between these lived moments and the fragile process of making the film itself, building a structure that is constantly in motion. What makes it land is not just the urgency of the subject, but how it is told. The film is immersive, heavily verité, and driven by strong editing that keeps you inside its world. It does not rely on narration or emotional pressure—it lets the experience build on its own. By the time it reaches its final moments, you are no longer watching from the outside. You have been inside it the whole time.

Cumberland Island is one of the largest and most ecologically diverse barrier islands in the United States. Once owned by prominent American family, the Carnegies, much of the island came under the National Park Service in 1972, while some heirs retained lifetime rights to remain. Today, more than 60,000 people visit the island each year. Tourism sustains the nearby town of St. Mary’s, and the island’s feral horses have become a defining symbol of its history and appeal. But the presence of more than 140 non-native horses within a fragile ecosystem has sparked an ongoing debate about ecological balance, animal welfare, and preservation. In 2023, a federal court acknowledged the horses’ suffering and environmental impact, but declined to require intervention. The Horses of Cumberland Island is an observational documentary examining the tension between history, tourism, and ecology in a place where what we cherish and what the land can sustain are not always aligned.
