Synopsis

Mike and Emlyn, best friends and UFO investigators, cruise along the roads of South Wales in a multi-coloured van. They interview individuals who have encountered the unexplainable; from shimmering orbs, to huge spacecraft, to cascading beams of light. Their mission is to document these sightings, investigating what they could mean and where these phenomena come from.
Armed with curiosity and a camcorder, Mike and Emlyn create a safe space for ordinary people to share their extraordinary experiences. But while they look to the heavens for answers, they remain unaware that what they’re searching for may be closer than they think.

A child with camera Children of Here

Director: Rabie Mustapha

Year: 2026

In this participatory documentary, filmmaker Rabie Mustapha works with a group of children living in Northern Ireland to tell stories about their family life and cultural backgrounds. Despite the children’s globalised nature, they manage to bring in an insight to specific cultural journeys from Al-Nuba, Halab and the Northern Irish countryside. We see Maya, an inquisitive 9 year old girl whose hobby is to deliver shocking facts within a deadpan and to ask deep philosophical questions. Through an interview with her mom we learn about her Nubian heritage and a long history of generations displacement. Mahmoud and Khalid on the other hand are more calm and observant. Through their filmmaking journey we learn about their Syrian and Turkman heritage. With Mila we see the countryside of Limavady and learn about a more relaxed way of living where children are more connected to nature and where the girl’s artistic abilities are developing. Through this pluralistic film Northern Ireland is portrayed as a changing place with more than one face.
