Das Wassup
Synopsis
The band consists of three vocalists from Tampa, Florida, the producer team and record label is from the UK. The three women of the band had difficult upbringings and fought hard to establish themselves as open out lesbians.
Financial success and artistic acceptance is finally within grasp. But soon it becomes clear that things aren't harmonious among the members of the group. With rising fame their increasingly larger than life egos start clashing ever more violently. Solo career aspirations and continuous troubles with the law seriously jeopardise their tantalisingly close breakthrough.
Filmed in seven countries over three years, the film follows Yo Majesty’s turbulent journey through the music business, and closely chronicles their transformation when faced with the achievement of their dreams.

I Want To Kill My Grandfather
Director: Lilyana Torres, Carlos Morales
Year: 2027
When filmmaker Lilyana Torres learns that her grandfather hired hitmen to nearly kill her father, she sets out to confront him in Tamaulipas, Mexico, and force an apology. The attack left her father with cracked ribs, a broken nose, and loose teeth. Its architect was his own father. Like much of Lilyana’s family history, nobody spoke of it again. So she begins planning his murder. In darkly comic fictional reenactments, Lilyana trains for revenge with the help of a retired detective. Some methods are efficient, others grotesque, all adapted to an ageing man. Against these fantasies, family home videos reveal a more unsettling contradiction: birthday parties, tenderness, and a grandfather who once appeared devoted to his son and granddaughter. How could a parent put their own child’s life at risk? Before Lilyana reaches him, her grandfather dies peacefully in bed, taking every explanation with him. Determined to complete the film, she casts an actor named Perfecto to play him and kills him on screen, again and again. But the performance exposes the question she cannot escape: what does revenge actually resolve? Lilyana confronts the possibility that the violence she wants to destroy may already live inside her.
Rehearsals for a Revolution
Director: Pegah Ahangarani

Through five portraits of relatives and mentors, five expressions of resistance, director Pegah Ahangarani sketches her life story.

From the early days of 1979, until the war that began in 2026, she pieces together intimate and collective memories, forming the portrait of a country shaped by political repression and in constant hope for a revolution.
