Director: Orlando Von Einsiedel
Year: 2020
When activist Perween Rahman is murdered, her sister Aquila returns to Karachi Pakistan to investigate and finds herself caught up in powerful forces intent on stealing the city’s water. <br /> Based on a true story, INTO DUST is the fiction debut of Oscar-winning director Orlando von Einsiedel (THE WHITE HELMETS, VIRUNGA).

Director: Orlando von Einsiedel
Year: 2018
Following his Oscar winning 'The White Helmets', Orlando von Einsiedel turns his camera on his own family as they attempt to cope with a devastating loss.<br /> When his brother, newly diagnosed as schizophrenic and suffering from intense depression, took his own life at 22, Orlando and his other two siblings buried the trauma, rarely talking about it. Over a decade later, the remaining family set out on a hiking tour, visiting landscapes Evelyn liked to walk, to reflect on his life and death. The result is an intensely personal and moving take on the emotional impact of suicide within a family and a powerful account of the benefits of creating safe spaces for emotional communication. Shot in a subjective style and against the stunning backdrop of the British countryside, Evelyn is an emotionally raw film that documents the difficult, yet rewarding, attempt to navigate the rocky highlands of collective trauma.
