Off the Streets

Synopsis

"Street kids are hard to rehabilitate.

They are used to their freedom, they behave the way they want. They smoke and take drugs. The street is the only life they know... So it's very difficult to tell these kids what to do."
 
Shot on the streets of Dakar, Senegal.

Comes Undone Comes Undone

Director: François Gamaury

Year: 2007

Comes Undone tells the story of two ex-lovers recalling memories of their relationship. They find each other once more for a last dance: the swan song of their love. She is seduced by past memories - how relevant is the past when faced with the present?

Africa Express Africa Express

Director: Emilio Guerrero Alexander

Year: 2026

Founded in 2004 by Damon Albarn and Ian Birrell, the UK music collective Africa Express has spent two decades bringing artists together across borders. In February 2024 it arrived in the Americas for the first time. Over eight days in Las Estacas, Mexico, more than 60 musicians from Africa, Latin America, Europe and the United States came together to rehearse, perform and create an album from scratch. Following Africa Express from Mexico through Europe and back, the film becomes a poetic journey through music, memory and imagination, celebrating the power of collaboration and community as reality slowly blurs with fantasy. With no single protagonist, the collective itself is the main character and music is its language. Africa Express is a portrait of a fleeting community and of what strangers from different worlds can build when they truly listen to each other.

Brian Johnson The Lives of Brian

Director: Bill Jones, Ben Timlett

Year: 2027
