SIGHTNOTSEEING captures a cultural tour in post-colonial Kowloon, around the remnants of the Walled City, but not the kind of tour you'd expect. Filmed in a single overhead long take, it drifts through performance, misunderstanding, and (post-)truth, held together by confusion and just enough confidence to carry on.

The Last Dance

Director: Hayden Mclean

Year: 2025

When Fox’s "LA Bar" is hit with a compulsory purchase order, a cornerstone of Caribbean life in 90s East London is threatened. As the city begins to forget, the community remembers. In defiance and longing, a last dance ignites - one that will be remembered for the ages.
