Exploring how the legacy of Jack Kerouac’s seminal novel 'On the Road' reflects in today’s America. The film interweaves stories of contemporary “on-the-roaders”, modern travellers and cultural figures including Josh Brolin, W. Kamau Bell and Natalie Merchant, who reveal how Kerouac’s quest for authentic experience resonates powerfully in our screen-saturated era - offering a lyrical meditation on what it means to truly experience the journey.

Feast or Famine

Director: Adrian Choa, Michael Boccalini

Year: 2026

There is a certain air of mystery around the famed Michelin stars sparsely given to the world’s best restaurants and chefs. Few people can explain the system as well as legendary chef Marco Pierre White, the first Brit to earn three of them - and the first to famously give them all back. This documentary lifts the heavy curtain of secrecy that surrounds high-end dining, with White demystifying the Michelin myth while the highly-regarded team behind East London’s buzzy Angelina restaurant chases their first ever coveted star.

TCB - The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing

Director: Monica Henriquez, Louis J. Massiah

Year: 2025

Structured as a series of classes in cultural organising, this film reconstructs the life of a woman whose literary works and film collaborations became a catalysing force in 20th century political movements. Toni Morrison, Nikky Finney and filmmaker Haile Gerima are among those who testify to Bambara's humour, fierce commitment to collective action and gift for galvanising artists into community work.
