A Love
Director: Anne-Marie Copestake
Year: 2019
An approach to local history unfolding. The film foregrounds quiet, tender engagement, forms of love, absence, and ritual. A deliberate lack of language underlines recurring inadequacies to express uproot and deeply felt emotions engendered. A LOVE considers individual and collective loss, value, and necessity for communal recognition. Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2019 - Experimenta Strand - World premiere
The Things We Don't Say
Director: Ornella Mutoni
Year: 2024
A group of young adults born during or just after the 1994 genocide against Rwanda's Tutsi people gather to find the courage to break a powerful taboo. Rwanda is one of the few nations in the world providing specialist counselling for children conceived through rape, who number 10,000 across the country. Here, course leader Emilienne, a mother, therapist and genocide survivor, helps the group to imagine a future free from family secrets and societal stigma. In a circle of supportive peers, they tell their individual stories and face their struggles together, in the hope their participation will advocate for others facing similar trauma.

NOVA '78
Director: Aaron Brookner, Rodrigo Areias
Year: 2025
NOVA '78 resurrects the legendary Nova Convention, the groundbreaking three-day gathering held in New York in 1978 to celebrate William S. Burroughs and the artistic revolution he inspired. Built from newly restored, previously unseen 16mm footage shot by Howard Brookner, the film captures extraordinary performances and intimate backstage moments featuring Patti Smith, Frank Zappa, Laurie Anderson, Allen Ginsberg, Philip Glass, John Cage, Merce Cunningham and many other defining voices of the era. More than a concert film or historical record, NOVA '78 is an immersive time capsule of a fleeting moment when literature, music, art and radical ideas collided to reshape contemporary culture.
