Alannah and Amara, a married couple in their early thirties, are ready to take the next step: starting a family. At a lively children’s birthday party, their enthusiasm for parenthood is met with a barrage of real-life parenting confessions from friends. They hear everything from birth horror stories to the absurdities of toddler logic. Amid the laughter and chaos, the couple’s desire for a child grows stronger.
Navigating the maze of fertility options, they consider everything from anonymous donors to a “Tinder for sperm.” Their journey takes a humorous, heartfelt turn when their gay best friend David offers to help as a known donor. What follows is a series of awkward, hilarious, and deeply intimate attempts at home insemination complete with strap-ons, science goggles, and the unglamorous realities of conception.
Despite their optimism, the process proves emotionally taxing. When medical tests reveal that David’s sperm counts aren't up to the task, the couple persevere. They seek a new donor, pursuing intrauterine insemination (IUI) and confronting the financial and emotional costs head-on.

Centered around the filmmakers’ local park, this film is a celebration of London and the resilience of migrant communities that have shaped the city from its beginnings. It’s about the British Empire Exhibition of 1924-25 and a line which stretches all the way from then to today. It’s about Palestine, which sits along this colonial continuum, and a park full of dancing, BBQs, birthday parties and joy. Through a hybrid form that combines documentary, archival footage, and direct animation this film meditates on the colonial remnants lodged in our lives and asks what it means to celebrate, play, and belong amid the rubble of empire.

An intimate observation of Rainbow Mbuangi, a key player for Merseyside Blind Football Club. The film embeds itself within Mbuangi's daily life, documenting the structured routines, intensive training, and social world that orbit his athletic pursuits. Through a rigorous focus on sound - both the necessities of his off-field navigational aids and the specialized, rattling 'soundball' used in the game - the documentary explores the complex relationship between dependence and autonomy. On the pitch, where he is fully reliant on auditory cues, Mbuangi challenges conventional notions of athletic space and visual interpretation.
Structured as a series of classes in cultural organising, this film reconstructs the life of a woman whose literary works and film collaborations became a catalysing force in 20th century political movements. Toni Morrison, Nikky Finney and filmmaker Haile Gerima are among those who testify to Bambara's humour, fierce commitment to collective action and gift for galvanising artists into community work.

With no single protagonist or linear narrative, the film immerses the viewer in a spectacle of strength through an intimate portrait of bodybuilders in the slums of Lagos. Inflated muscles, bulging veins and luminous skin glistening with sweat fill the screen. Shot almost entirely in close-ups, the camera hovers so near its subjects, moving softly like breath on skin, that at times figures become blurred, abstracted forms.
Karimah Ashadu’s slow, measured pans across backs, chests and arms meditate on visibility, drawing attention to the embodiment and representation of the Black male body without rendering it singular or fixed. The metallic clang of barbells is punctuated with guttural sounds of exertion set against the ambience of the streets. Breath and muscle move in syncopated sonic choreography, and the men’s commitment to the ritual of maintaining the body is evident.
