Synopsis

Finally freed from Russian domination, Ukraine and its recent, controversial, revolution has led to a cultural explosion as the number of young artists mushrooms in the capital. Kiev Unbroken: Ukraine Reborn is the first feature length documentary to cover both the bloody Maidan Square uprising of 2014 and the artistic shockwaves that have followed it and which continue to this day - all in the midst of a country at war.

Hong Kong Blue Hong Kong Blue

Director: Phil Strongman

Year: 2021

HONG KONG BLUE: Mike Marlowe is a UK photographer who - after traumatic frontline news work in Ukraine in 2014 - decides to seek a less serious life by joining the London paparazzi. In 2019 a 'working holiday' in Asia leads him to Hong Kong, just as that city state comes under increasing pressure from the Chinese government, pressure that provokes huge pro-democracy demonstrations. Mike's interaction there, with the locals - including wannabe and free spirit Susan - puts both of them in the spotlight... and in danger.

A woman smiles during an interview Folk to Folk

Director: Saoirse Crean

Year: 2026

Led by renowned vocal coach Jennifer John, Folk to Folk follows a group of women in Liverpool who use traditional folk songs to build unexpected connections across cultures. As they learn and sing in Gaelic, Romansh, Boro and other languages, the sessions uncover shared themes that unite us. The songs rise like ghosts from the past, stirring memories, laughter and tears, and opening a safe space for the women to reflect together. “This project proves that music is a universal language. It allows us to feel, to be emotional, and when we do that together… that’s where the power lies” - Jennifer John
