When Nina and her best friend Lily find themselves drawn to the alluring glow of an eyeliner pen, they believe that they've finally found their key to womanhood, and so… they steal it!

With Lily being drawn to hang out with the cool girls, Nina struggles to keep hold of her friendship as the pressures of girlhood begin to mount. When faced with the reality of how she is perceived, Nina must learn what it will take to truly be herself. Official Selection Annecy Festival 2026 - Graduation Films
I Didn't Want To Be Here
Director: Fionnuala McCormack

An intimate portrait of a women's group in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The documentary follows the women as they collaboratively create a stage production. Through writing sessions, rehearsals, and candid conversations, the women craft a performance rooted in their lived experiences - stories shaped by addiction, family fracture, and encounters with the justice system. The documentary follows the evolving group dynamic, capturing moments of vulnerability, frustration, and unexpected humour as the women negotiate what it means to share such personal stories in a public space for the first time.
