Deep End
Director: Puzhen Zhang

One summer in early 2000s China, a shy preteen girl confronts her fear of water — and human connection — when she forms an unexpected, magical bond in the deep end of the pool.
Stage
Director: Brett Morgen
Year: 2027
An arena-scale cinematic experience built out of long-lost, remastered 35mm footage originally shot by British director David Hemmings. The film features previously unseen concert footage of David Bowie from his 1978 Isolar II World Tour, in support of his landmark 'Heroes' album. Using a three-screen presentation, transparent LED screens and large-scale projections, it is described as an “immersive and sound light experience”.

India's Circularity: Not a Trend, But Tradition from Margins
Director: Purva Tavri
Year: 2026
Across India’s overlooked margins, India’s Circularity – Not a Trend, But a Tradition from the Margins reveals how reuse, repair, and regeneration are not innovations - but inherited ways of life rooted in culture, necessity, and care. Featuring voices across sectors - artists, makers, NGO leaders, entrepreneurs, government officials, planners, engineers, institutions, and homemakers - the film journeys through terracotta clusters in Rajasthan, bamboo-timber homes in Sikkim, palm-leaf artisans in Kerala, and community commons in Chhattisgarh. One story is deeply personal: the director’s mother, whose regenerative practices shaped the director’s own circular worldview long before her professional work in sustainability. With poetic narration, immersive visuals, and grounded research, the film reframes circularity as a lived tradition, not a future policy aspiration.
