Paradise Grove Paradise Grove

Director: Charles Harris

Year: 2003

Paradise Grove is the first film by award-winning TV and theatre director Charles Harris. A new British Independent movie, a bittersweet coming-of-age story set in a Jewish old age home in North London, it is also, remarkably, the first contemporary Jewish movie to be made in the UK for ten years. Paradise Grove is a film with a distinctive and unusual voice. Starting with deceptively gentle comedy, it woos us with a colourful parade of sharply observed characters, each with their own quirks and eccentricities, before building to a moving climax with a strong emotional punch.

Stage Stage

Director: Brett Morgen

Year: 2027

An arena-scale cinematic experience built out of long-lost, remastered 35mm footage originally shot by British director David Hemmings. The film features previously unseen concert footage of David Bowie from his 1978 Isolar II World Tour, in support of his landmark 'Heroes' album. Using a three-screen presentation, transparent LED screens and large-scale projections, it is described as an “immersive and sound light experience”.

Artisans are working on decorating pottery products in Baswa Village, Rajasthan, India India's Circularity: Not a Trend, But Tradition from Margins

Director: Purva Tavri

Year: 2026

Across India’s overlooked margins, India’s Circularity – Not a Trend, But a Tradition from the Margins reveals how reuse, repair, and regeneration are not innovations - but inherited ways of life rooted in culture, necessity, and care. Featuring voices across sectors - artists, makers, NGO leaders, entrepreneurs, government officials, planners, engineers, institutions, and homemakers - the film journeys through terracotta clusters in Rajasthan, bamboo-timber homes in Sikkim, palm-leaf artisans in Kerala, and community commons in Chhattisgarh. One story is deeply personal: the director’s mother, whose regenerative practices shaped the director’s own circular worldview long before her professional work in sustainability. With poetic narration, immersive visuals, and grounded research, the film reframes circularity as a lived tradition, not a future policy aspiration.
