Learning to Drive in Birmingham

Laisul, a Bangladeshi immigrant now living in the UK, attempts to navigate Birmingham through driving lessons, conversations in cars, and phone calls from home. Filmed inside vehicles and among construction sites, blocked roads, and sprawling South Asian neighbourhoods on the city’s outskirts, the work reflects on mobility, belonging, and displacement, while offering a glimpse into the lives of Bangladeshi communities who have made Birmingham their home. As the artist learns to drive in a city seemingly built around cars, encounters with friends, driving instructors, and archival traces of Bangladeshi political figures reveal Birmingham’s deep connections to Bangladesh and its diaspora. Moving between intimate conversations and urban observation, the film unfolds as a portrait of a city in transition, where personal experiences intersect with migration, infrastructure, and histories that continue to travel between Birmingham and Bangladesh.

Maurice: Forty Years Against the Tide

Maurice, the longest-running queer association in Turin, celebrates 40 years of activity. Always going against the grain, navigating contradictions and being shaped by them. Over fifty testimonies aim to reconstruct a collective history that belongs to us and to the entire city, with the direct thread of that “mixité” that has been defined over time as a necessary key to understanding the encounter between the diverse subjectivities that have recognized themselves in this project.

Le chemin de la liberté

Four years ago, Putin’s Russia launched a large-scale imperialist war of aggression against Ukraine. The Ukrainian people then rose up in resistance and have been multiplying experiments in self-organization to confront this aggression. Many feminist, environmentalist, unionist, anarchist, and libertarian activists have joined the active and armed resistance. Their collective embodies an anti-authoritarian Ukraine that echoes the experience a century ago of the anarchist Nestor Makhno, inspiring their struggle against the Russian occupation forces’ attempts to block their path to freedom.

In the Path of Giants

In Southern Bangladesh, hungry wild elephants trapped by the world’s largest refugee camp are rampaging over the land of local farmers. The result is a tense three-way stand-off between the refugees, local Bengalis and indigenous farmers, worsening already strained ethnic tensions. In 2017 Bangladesh opened its arms to nearly a million Rohingya who fled a violent regime of ethnic cleansing in Myanmar. But the camp built to house them unknowingly blocked the last migratory corridor for the local elephant population. With no easy escape, a Rohingya refugee, an indigenous farmer, a Bengali forest ranger and the shrinking population of wild elephants find themselves trapped in an impossible fight for land, freedom and a place to call home.
