The Edge of Existence

Synopsis

Following electronics teacher and father Cam Cameron as he attempts to survive 60 days on Rockall, the UK’s most remote and dangerous island. Driven by a need to reconnect with his family, Cam’s quest is a test of endurance and a deeply personal challenge. Having already lost his father and two brothers, Cam is his mother’s only surviving son - a burden that weighs on him as he prepares to break the world record.
Only five people in history have spent more than one night on Rockall - a statistic lower than those who’ve been to the moon. Facing brutal conditions and isolation, Cam’s journey raises questions: What drives a man to risk his life? And what toll does it take on those who love him?
The documentary explores the true meaning of adventure and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of legacy, keeping viewers on edge of their seats.

A woman paints on a large canvas in bright colours The End of Times

Director: Luca Anzalone

Year: 2026

Caught between her indigenous Buryat roots—where art is a shamanic window between worlds—and a Western market that treats culture as a commodity, artist Yuma Radne constructs a monumental canvas to confront the psychological distortions of colonization at the edge of an irreversible era. "Either you make art, or you suffer. It’s like a curse." For painter Yuma Radne, the act of creation is not an aesthetic choice, but an ancestral code carried in the blood. Moving from a remote Siberian village to the high-stakes European art world, Yuma finds herself navigating a surreal landscape where sacred cultural identity is rapidly converted into a luxury product. Through intimate studio dialogues and raw philosophical reflections, the film captures the gruelling physical and mental labour behind her graduation masterpiece, The End of Times. Centred around a gargantuan erupting booze (a traditional Buryat dumpling) mutated into an absurd, monumental symbol of a colonised and erased national identity, the film transcends a typical artist portrait. It becomes a vital, cosmic meditation on why humanity continues to create art in the face of systemic collapse—and a powerful testament to an indigenous culture refusing to be reduced to a souvenir.
