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.

Folk to Folk
Director: Saoirse Crean
Year: 2026
Led by renowned vocal coach Jennifer John, Folk to Folk follows a group of women in Liverpool who use traditional folk songs to build unexpected connections across cultures. As they learn and sing in Gaelic, Romansh, Boro and other languages, the sessions uncover shared themes that unite us. The songs rise like ghosts from the past, stirring memories, laughter and tears, and opening a safe space for the women to reflect together. “This project proves that music is a universal language. It allows us to feel, to be emotional, and when we do that together… that’s where the power lies” - Jennifer John

Lost Souls Swimming in A Fish Bowl
Director: Aneek Chaudhuri
Year: 2026
Lost Souls, Swimming in a Fish Bowl is a silent documentary about the invisible territories of depression, isolation, memory, and the fragile act of continuing to live. There are people who move through the world every day while feeling as though they exist behind glass. They work, walk, eat, sleep, smile, and disappear into crowds—yet remain suspended within an interior world that no one else can enter. The film observes these fractured states without explanation, diagnosis, or spoken testimony. Instead, silence becomes the language of the film. Through faces, bodies, empty rooms, urban landscapes, found footage, archival fragments, photographs, gestures, objects, and moments of stillness, Lost Souls, Swimming in a Fish Bowl enters the psychological geography of people who feel trapped inside themselves. The fish bowl becomes both metaphor and physical space: transparent enough to see the world outside, yet impossible to escape.
