Bulgarian-born American-raised rapper Dali From The Valley, or Dimitar Ognyanov, dies, and when at the gates of the afterlife, he meets The Gatekeeper, and together they must decide if he belongs Above or Below. This follows a recollection of Dali’s life: through his American upbringing, his Bulgarian heritage, his complicated relationship with his sister, the loss he feels having never met his mother; his reunion with his estranged father, as well a depiction of the seemingly meaningless life of excess he’s led, his entourage, the endless troubles with various partners, and a long, long trip down a memory lane of all the mistakes Dali’s made and all the pain he’s caused.
The film explores themes of cultural belonging, the weight of memories, nature vs. nurture, the pain of staying at the top, love, finality, and whether our choices define us.
A poetic memoir and political report, shot in Berlin and Leipzig, and in landscapes around the British Isles. The film’s narrative builds out from the events of the Reichstag Fire in Berlin in 1933 in which the pioneering German-Jewish sound recordist, Ludwig Koch, on whom the film ultimately centres, plays a minor role, placing him and his family in danger. The film is structured in two parts, juxtaposing Koch’s persecution in Nazi Germany with his experiences as a refugee recording bird song and other sounds in Britain.
The film’s images of contemporary urban and rural terrains, and of objects and documents, create a collision between past and present. Shifts in time are further emphasised through the use of Koch’s original sound recordings from Germany and Britain which feature throughout the film.

The film delves into the causes of AMR and highlights its existing and potential impact and what measures need to be taken to avert a new global pandemic. Post-Covid, this is another wake-up call for the world and for those in power to change the course of history and act before it is too late

CRYBABY is a deeply personal animated short by Welsh filmmaker Eleri Edwards, created through Ffilm Cymru’s Beacons scheme and produced by Biggerhouse Film, a company dedicated to amplifying marginalised voices. Drawing on her own experiences of late-diagnosed autism, Edwards crafts an intimate portrait of self-discovery, memory, and the struggle against internalised negativity.
The film follows Carys, a 24-year-old woman packing boxes as she prepares to leave her parents’ house. What begins as a simple act of moving soon dissolves into an otherworldly landscape where she is overwhelmed by endless boxes and the haunting weight of her past. Lurking in the shadows is Carys’s internal voice, brought to life as an angry, chaotic scrawl of pencil scribbles - an embodiment of self-doubt and internalised stigma.
As she sorts through the fragments of her childhood, memories of early school days and teenage sleepovers resurface, revealing the pain of exclusion and misunderstanding that shaped her. The 2D animation shifts fluidly between reality and imagination, capturing the turbulence of Carys’ inner world.
CRYBABY is both a personal reckoning and a universal story - an exploration of autism, mental health, and the fight to silence the critic within.
