Jonah, charismatically ADHD and dyslexically created, is a man-child who keeps on slipping. At the same time, his best mate, Lee, nimbly climbs every ladder. After hitting yet another bump and under pressure to see his great-aunt, who is lost to dementia, Jonah contrives that he and Lee visit, hoping it might also offer respite from himself and the mess he’s creating. Though the Northeast coast of Scotland wasn’t quite what Lee envisioned, it holds a certain wildness and wonder. They meet Charlie, who is profoundly Deaf and attempting to clean up after his shady twin brother. Through a developing friendship, the three boys form a connection that ultimately brings Jonah to discover the courage to be vulnerable and that joy is possible despite loss. THE SON AND THE SEA brings personal experience and threads of familial history together to ask: how will boys become men if there’s no one to show them the way?

A landmark feature documentary about astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command the Space Shuttle. 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. 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? 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.

Through the psychoanalytic and introspective voiceover of a young post-pandemic Chinese migrant in Europe, the film interweaves her private memories of intimacy with public narratives of resistance. As her reflections unfold, she and her community navigate secrecy, repression, survival, looming precarity, and displacement, all while confronting the personal cost of existing in a world that demands their silence.
