Director: Nilesh Patel

This film presents one art form through another; architecture through film. If architecture is the interplay of built form in light and film is the viewing of images through light, can an architectural film present images of wood, light and stone that might shape our religious and spiritual life?

A woman reading through script I Didn't Want To Be Here

Director: Fionnuala McCormack

Year: 2026

An intimate portrait of a women's group in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The documentary follows the women as they collaboratively create a stage production. Through writing sessions, rehearsals, and candid conversations, the women craft a performance rooted in their lived experiences - stories shaped by addiction, family fracture, and encounters with the justice system. The documentary follows the evolving group dynamic, capturing moments of vulnerability, frustration, and unexpected humour as the women negotiate what it means to share such personal stories in a public space for the first time.
