What Are You Looking At? What Are You Looking At?

Director: Liberty Smith

Year: 2022

The artist Angela Charles finally reveals that she is experiencing dramatic sight loss after years of hiding it, as the self-proclaimed 'Queen of Bluff'. She explores notions of seeing and the limitations of language for the visual world, asking us, "What are you looking at?"

Spacewoman Spacewoman

Director: Hannah Berryman

Year: 2024

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.

Hands opening the small cover pages of a book, with the title 'Constantinopoliad' above, and text revealed within the pages. Constantinopoliad

Director: sister sylvester and Nadah El Shazly

Year: 2025

Constantinopoliad is an expanded documentary and installation that centers around the collective reading of a hand-made book. A response to the archive of the poet Constantine Cavafy, the story is inspired by the blank and torn out pages in “Constantinopoliad, an epic”, the journal the teenage Cavafy began when he and his family fled Alexandria; by lost and missing queer archives through time; and by the ghosts, both erotic and historical, that visit the older Cavafy in his poems.
