Brazuca
Director: Henrique Goldman
Year: 2009
A tender, raw and surprising story of a small family of Brazilian cousins who move to London to make a living and broaden their horizons, the film stars Selton Mello as Jean Charles de Menezes, with Vanessa Giacomo playing his wide-eyed country-girl cousin Vivian. Eva Birthistle stars as the woman Jean falls in love with. Dreams, hardship, joie-de-vivre and tragedy are at the heart of Brazuca, which is set against the back-drop of the 2005 London bombings.
No Women No Children
Director: Akporé Uzoh
Year: 2026
The aftermath of a sexual assault (rape). Exploring the deep-felt consequences for all involved. At its heart an epic story of a couple's fight for the survival of their love.
Elegy for the Lost
Director: William Hong-xiao Wei
Year: 2025
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.
