Untitled Lewis Capaldi Documentary
Synopsis
Caught between the pull of fame and the grounding roots of home, Lewis wrestles with the immense pressure of delivering that old Rock and Roll cliché ‘The Difficult Second Album’. From writing new material in a shed at the bottom of the garden at his parents’ house, to recording and then releasing a new album, this young artist will have the courage to invite us into this deeply personal process, laying out his craft and life, exploring his relationship with his roots, his hopes and fears for all the world to see.
In this all-access music documentary, award-winning studio Pulse Films partners with recent breakout artist Lewis Capaldi at a pivotal moment in his career.
Oh, and seeing that this is Lewis Capaldi, it will be a proper laugh too.

Between Us and the World
Director: Wallace Minchong Li

Seventy years later, local young people from Laayoune (El Aaiún) revisit locations that may have appeared in the footage. From ocean to desert to oasis, under trembling starlight, they share their thoughts on life, dreams, and utopia as they search for an uncertain upstream.
