I Am the Immaculate Conception
Synopsis
The film uses a non-realist form and style in order to depict the transcendent experience of its subjects. In so doing, it attempts to offer a credibility to the experience of the film’s participants, whose voices have been deliberately dismissed by the institution that oversees their faith.

Promisedland™
Director: Frank Eli Martin
Year: 2024
The uncanny absurdism of an Israeli theme park built in the Palestinian West Bank becomes a tragic allegory for the delusions that are needed to make sense of Israeli society.<br /> Official Selection DOC NYC 2024
Spacewoman
Director: Hannah Berryman
Year: 2024
A landmark feature documentary about astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command the Space Shuttle.<br /> Eileen’s incredible journey starts with her smalltown beginnings, sees her smash through many glass ceilings, and culminates in four dramatic space shuttle missions, the last being possibly the most dangerous and most important of them all.<br /> At its heart the film is the moving human drama of one family, where a mother’s extraordinary career takes us straight to the big philosophical question of what is the level of acceptable risk in human endeavour? <br /> This film celebrates Commander Collins’ trailblazing NASA career which opened the way for women to become spacecraft pilots and commanders, and proved a perfect riposte to a previous generation of male astronauts who thought there was no place for women to lead the way in space. <br /> Official Selection DOC NYC 2024 - World premiere<br /> Official Selection CPH:DOX 2025 - European premiere
Gans'n Dhama Wedhen (In the Company of the Mother Tree)
Director: Adam Laity
Year: 2025
An immersive 360° film poem from the heart of a Cornish temperate rainforest. The voice of the Mother Tree introduces us to the sounds, sights and more-than-human characters of the ancient woodland, encouraging us to think of time as trees do, in hundreds or even thousands of years.
