Turn Off the Machines follows Ethan Hughes, a radical homesteader in mid-coast Maine who lives entirely without electricity, global supply chains, or modern technological comforts. Raised in Gloucester to working class parents, an early tragedy shattered a happy childhood and set him on a path of radical resistance. Living deliberately below the poverty line, Ethan's life is not a retreat but a protest against capitalism, war, and ecological collapse. The film explores his convictions, his family's daily rhythms, and the tensions that arise when belief meets the demands of life.
For filmmaker Nordin Lasfar, who grew up in the Netherlands as the child of Moroccan parents, author Paul Bowles opened the door to literature and stories from the land of his forebears. In the 1960s and 70s, Tangier was a base for Western artists and writers of the Beat Generation, among them Bowles.
Unboxing as a happening: three friends rummage through Uncle Joe’s belongings in Los Angeles. Amid yellowed postcards, medieval torture devices, gossip, and incense, Soli, Katy, and Sharon create an enjoyable bond between this life and the hereafter.
Portrait of an artist Epp Maria Kokamägi. The film invites us into the world created by the artist on Sepamaa Farm, which is at once picturesque and fairytale-like, yet completely natural, where life, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, flows in the rhythm of nature.
Mirai (The Abyss) draws on the world of Ghost of Tsushima to shape a brief, concentrated meditation on conscience under pressure. Beginning with a textual intervention, the film turns toward habituation, moral fatigue, and the threshold where violence stops appearing as rupture and sinks into the texture of experience. De Simone counters the game’s dramatic momentum with a quieter dissonance, redirecting attention to ethical aftertone, the residue produced when repetition dulls the force of response. Its restraint is what gives the work its edge. Mirai (The Abyss) follows the normalisation of the intolerable, showing how exposure reorders feeling before crisis fully declares itself.
In an impromptu stand-up special recorded 48 hours before giving birth, comedian Cameron Esposito elaborates on life as a nonbinary pregnant person, the shady intricacies of donor screenings, and the bizarre reactions they've experienced from strangers.
Life is a constant movement between the depths of our personal universe and the surface of the world. We dive within ourselves, emerge into everyday life. We oscillate from introspection to extroversion, from our microcosm to the real world. This pendulum is the story of the artist Kleio Gizeli, a pendulum that reaches from the secret space of an apartment to the visible world of a school classroom, from a penthouse in Kypseli, Athens to the life of its streets, from miniature works to the social work of education. This pendulum is the story of the film, the pendulum of a woman but also of all of us.
A sweeping yet intimate journey across a planet in flux. Moving from the sinking shores of North Carolina’s Outer Banks to the windswept deserts of Mongolia, from the subterranean dwellings of Coober Pedy in Australia to the thawing coasts of Greenland, the film enters the “rooms” of our shared global home. In each place, lives unfold at the fault lines of change: a family planting trees against encroaching sand, communities building underground to escape relentless heat, fishers navigating uncertain waters.
