Salt of the Earth
Director: Sophie Meyer
Year: 2005
Salt of the Earth explores one facet of Trinidad's culture through this ancient music tradition called Parang and the ones who make it survive, the parrenderos and Holly Betaudier, a fantastic television producer and presenter. The music sets the pace for the discovery of the island's beauty, its history, its landscapes and its people. This is a journey into Trinidad's past to better understand how an English speaking country has managed to keep and continue a Spanish tradition imported hundreds of years ago.
SightNotSeeing
Director: Sheung Man Yim
Year: 2026
SIGHTNOTSEEING captures a cultural tour in post-colonial Kowloon, around the remnants of the Walled City, but not the kind of tour you'd expect. Filmed in a single overhead long take, it drifts through performance, misunderstanding, and (post-)truth, held together by confusion and just enough confidence to carry on.

Children No More: "Were and Are Gone"
Director: Hilla Medalia
Year: 2025
Israeli peace activists hold silent vigils in Tel Aviv, displaying photos of Gaza's young victims. Despite facing public backlash, their wordless demonstrations powerfully highlight war's human cost. Official Selection DOC NYC 2025 Academy Awards 2026 - Best Documentary Short Film - Nomination
