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.<br /> 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.<br /> 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? <br /> 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. <br /> Official Selection DOC NYC 2024 - World premiere<br /> Official Selection CPH:DOX 2025 - European premiere

What About Gary? What About Gary?

Director: Tristan M Copeland

Year: 2025

WHAT ABOUT GARY is a raw and emotive documentary that delves into the tragic consequences of misinformation, exploring how conspiracy theories led to the death of Gary Matthews from Covid-19. The film intimately portrays the profound grief of Gary's family and friends as they grapple with this senseless loss.<br /> Director Tristan Copeland, Gary's cousin, questions the purveyors of these falsehoods, driven by a need to understand why they ensnared Gary. Through vérité footage, archival materials, and Gary's own paintings, the film explores Gary’s descent into a distorted reality, seeking the root causes of his susceptibility to misinformation.<br /> Shot during the pandemic in Shrewsbury, England, WHAT ABOUT GARY captures the isolation that made many, including Gary, vulnerable to manipulation. With kinetic editing, evocative camera work, and a poignant score, the film examines how society failed to protect its citizens from misinformation.<br /> A potentially controversial yet vital work that questions how conspiracy theorists wield such influence and whether others can be saved from similar fates. A cautionary tale for a world grappling with truth in the digital age, and a tribute to a life tragically cut short, driven by a need to understand why.

Lois and Peggy Coney Island Lois and Peggy

Director: Claire Nolan

Year: 2025

An intimate journey through the storied careers and private lives of Lois Weaver and Peggy Shaw, the visionary founders of Split Britches.Through behind-the-scenes footage, exclusive interviews, and a deep dive into their most influential performances, we uncover how Split Britches have transformed discussions around gender, identity, and the role of performance in political activism. Throughout this journey we also uncover the real love story behind their life’s work - a universal tale of support, trial and tribulation. Shot on location in both Upstate New York and New York City Lois and Peggy reveals the essential domestic side of this iconic performance duo and lays bare the complexities of two artists juggling their work and their relationship simultaneously. Showcasing the depth, complexity, and universality of love, this documentary makes a valuable contribution to the cultural and historical legacy of LGBTQ+ communities - capturing and preserving the experiences of love and relationships within a context that has often been marginalized or erased from history.
