Another News Story

Synopsis

What happens when the news cameras turn off? 'Another News Story' reveals the action behind the scenes of the news teams tasked with reporting the refugee story as it swept across the Balkans and into Europe at the height of the crisis.
In an intimate display of how these two juxtaposed roles coexist in such tragic and unfathomable situations, the film follows through our characters to directly after when the Paris attacks have happened and the news rhetoric has changed against the refugees. Intercutting directly between the broadcast news and our own footage of reports going live, the film presents a unique insight into the news machine.
Amid the current widespread popular move to the right and a world of "post truth", this film serves as an eye-opening account of how news is created, and a reminder that for many this was much more than Another News Story.

Our Land Our Land

Director: Orban Wallace

Year: 2025

OUR LAND dares to tread where few have trespassed before. The film seamlessly juxtaposes the two sides of the debate around our access to nature, giving voice to the different perspectives - those fighting for greater access to the countryside and the landowners who claim to be stewards of the land. Blending history with an eye on the future, Our Land cuts through the conflict, exploring the complex issues of access, custodianship, and conservation. With stunning visuals and gripping narratives from both sides of the fence, the film challenges the age-old beliefs that have shaped our relationship with the land for over a thousand years. As the battle for nature continues on, who truly has the right to roam? Official Selection Sheffield DocFest 2025 - World premiere Official Selection DOC NYC 2025

Main character from The Things We Don't Say lying on the ground, looking contemplative 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.

Frank Zappa reads at The Nova Convention in New York City 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.
