The Frontier: Ukraine
Synopsis
The film will show the lives of people in both Ukrainian and pro separatist areas introducing viewers to the complex beliefs and opinions involved with post soviet politics in Ukraine.
This documentary seeks to explain the horror of living in a conflict zone and how the real realities of this conflict, that is happening so close to home, are rarely reported.
Beside the direct effect on the population we seek to investigate the power of propaganda in the country used by both sides.
How the people are manipulated by oligarchs and other interested parties to support systems of government that no longer function.
The influence of Russia is also covered with it's strong presence in the country dating back to the turn of the century many feel allied with Russia despite it's involvement in the escalation of the situation in their country.
This film seeks to expose the true realities of a contemporary conflict on Europe’s doorstep.

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
Power Station
Director: Dan Edelstyn, Hilary Powell
Year: 2025
Two artists in Walthamstow set out to take their street off the grid, kickstarting a solar-powered energy revolution.<br /> Inspired by lockdown mutual aid initiatives, artist-activists Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn decided to turn their street into an energy-generating powerhouse – a prototype for a new way of living, with the hope of galvanising a wider push towards sustainable alternatives. Directed by the duo, POWER STATION charts their turbulent journey, from pitching the idea to their neighbours and sleeping on the roof of their home to raising finance and launching a bid for a Christmas number one single. By turns funny and heartwarming, Powell and Edelstyn’s film is a vibrant portrait of their local neighbourhood, and a charming testament to the power of art in changing minds about what could be possible.<br /> Official Selection Sheffield DocFest 2025
