Voice Messages From My Mom

Inspired by Chantal Akerman’s News From Home, this intimate short film follows a Nigerian student in the Netherlands as she receives a series of WhatsApp voice messages from her mother. While we hear the mother’s voice, we see the daughter moving through her routines in Maastricht. As the voice messages accumulate, they reveal the emotional complexities between a mother and daughter living in different worlds. The contrast between the voice and the visuals reveal the unspoken tension between them: love expressed through control, sacrifice that becomes expectation, and the loneliness that can grow between two people who are always in contact but no longer fully connected.The film explores what it means to be loved by someone who doesn’t entirely understand you, and the emotional burden that can come with that love.

The Light Won't Dim

From Puerto Rico’s Centro Buen Pastor, where solar panels became a lifeline after Hurricane Maria, to New York City schools and small-town rooftops, the film shows how communities are taking energy into their own hands. Featuring interviews with Senator Bernie Sanders and climate leader Bill McKibben alongside local leaders and experts, the film reveals both the obstacles and the unstoppable momentum of clean energy — a story of resilience, equity, and hope for the future.

Posłani

The film explores prayer as a real force and the community that can sustain a person when they can no longer cope. The story revolves around the extraordinary journey of Michał Ulewiński, who travels almost 650 kilometers across Poland, carrying a 15-kilogram cross. The route—from the Vistula Lagoon to Giewont, then through Gniezno to Sokółka—forms the symbolic sign of the cross on the map of Poland. This is not just a physical endeavor. It is an intense, personal prayer, a spiritual struggle, and a process of profound inner transformation.

The Daoxian Incident

The result of years of fieldwork and research, "The Daoxian Incident" examines the causes of armed struggle and mass killings in Dao County, Hunan, at the height of the Cultural Revolution. Between August 13 and October 17, 1967, 7,696 people were killed and 1,397 were forced to commit suicide. An additional 2,146 were permanently injured or disabled. Most of the victims were labeled “class enemies” and belonged to the so-called “Five Black Categories,” while at least 14,000 people participated in the killings. Through interviews with survivors, participants, and family members, this documentary reconstructs the complex sequence of political campaigns that culminated in one of the bloodiest episodes in the PRC's history.

Speaking Eep!

SPEAKING EEP! follows a team of women scientists working to conserve one of North America’s most climate-sensitive species: the American pika. Using a combination of cutting-edge AI technology and traditional research techniques, population biologist Dr. Chris Ray and PhD student Rachel Billings hope to decode the iconic “eeps” of pika language and determine how communication between subspecies might help separate populations of pikas come together to adapt in the face of a warming climate.
