Synopsis

Jeff, an insomniac, discovers a mystical jellyfish creature one night in the alley by his house. Jeff, who’s haunted by the loss of his wife, reluctantly helps the strange being as it tries to escape the two hostile police on its trail.
With themes of loss, memory and duty, the monochromatic film mixes experimental elements with nods to silent film, film noir and 1950s b-movies. Its dreamy feel is heightened by the frequent appearance of musicians who provide a live musical commentary to the action.

Konadu Yiadom Gyamfi takes a poetry-led journey through Ghana and the experience of female welder Stella A true story captured through poetry, director and poet Konadu Yiadom Gyamfi follows the journey of Stella, a female welder from Uganda. Shot in Ghana, the film showcases the profound impact of faith in guiding her towards success in a world that often challenges her path as a woman. “There are so many diverse and captivating stories to be explored within this beautiful and complex continent but we don’t often hear the stories of women from their own mouths. Platforming stories like Stella’s is how we start moving forward in portraying Africa and its people.” Defying expectations through her resilience and passionate dedication to her craft, Stella transcended early challenges she faced by entering into a program for young women, now a working welder in spite of societal beliefs regarding women’s roles. Evolving over several months of close collaboration between Stella and Gyamfi, the film illustrates Stella's life and the local landscape through insightful conversations tracing her path into welding, lensing a remarkable reality that confronts narratives on African women that strip away their agency.
