Composition
Below the Clouds
Gianfranco Rosi’s new mosaic documentary is both an affectionate tribute to Naples and a forbidding journey underground, into excavation sites, clandestine tunnels, and cellars filled with art treasures.
Intersecting Memory
Shayma’ was six when the Second Intifada began in Palestine. As time passes, she rediscovers old videotapes blending childhood memories with stark scenes of Hebron. A powerful portrait of childhood under Israeli occupation.
GEN_
Fly-on-the-wall documentary following the charismatic Dr Bini at work in his consultation room. As head of the fertility and gender department at a Milanese hospital, he takes an unconventional and deeply empathetic approach.
Eyes of the Machine
Propaganda footage from Chinese state media is combined with leaked police photographs and one woman’s exceptional witness account of the harrowing persecution of Uyghurs in East Turkestan (Xinjiang).
Remake
The death of his son Adrian forces Ross McElwee to look back. Was there something he missed? Through means of old family videos and memories, the filmmaker tries to make sense of how both their lives unfolded.
Timestamp
The war impacts young people in Ukraine as well as adults. Filmmaker Kateryna Gonorstai travels east through the country, filming schools in bomb shelters and lessons about mines. How do children cope with all this and how do they see the future?
