Je ne regrette rien
Director: Fiona Bavinton
Year: 2020
Made entirely in Unreal, during lockdown in the UK, in a week in which VE day celebrations collided with Black Lives Matter protests, this film questions the persistence of nostalgia as a form of social control.
SightNotSeeing
Director: Sheung Man Yim
Year: 2026
SIGHTNOTSEEING captures a cultural tour in post-colonial Kowloon, around the remnants of the Walled City, but not the kind of tour you'd expect. Filmed in a single overhead long take, it drifts through performance, misunderstanding, and (post-)truth, held together by confusion and just enough confidence to carry on. Official Selection International Film Festival Rotterdam 2026 - World premiere
