Generation after generation, each of these artists has been paving their own path, whereby a natural exchange, resulting from their familial bond, has also allowed them to collaborate artistically and jointly produce works of art.

Overview: We Will Not Be Silenced is a shocking insight into the Orwellian world of online censorship witnessed up close and personal through the experiences of Brian Rose, founder and host of London Real, who had his 2 million subscriber YouTube channel deplatformed for simply broadcasting interviews that challenged the status quo. Banned by Silicon Valley’s biggest monopolies, Rose and his millions of supporters defiantly fight back by broadcasting a world record-breaking global livestream, demonstrating the importance of defending our most fundamental right: freedom of speech. Unfortunately on September 4th 2023, the London Real channel was deleted and permanently banned from YouTube, ending 12 years of free expression without recourse. We Will Not Be Silenced serves both as a cautionary tale and a beacon of inspiration, ushering in a new generation of self-broadcasting as content creators across the world begin to fight back against Big Tech’s censorship.
Director Statement: We Will Not Be Silenced confronts the single most important issue of our times: the erosion of our fundamental human right to free speech in the digital world. This film is more than just a project for me; it's a dedicated mission to illustrate the critical necessity of free expression in an era increasingly dominated by Big Tech Censorship. It's a timely reminder that freedom of speech should not just be a legal right but the very foundation of a vibrant, democratic society. This film invites viewers to reflect on the significance of this right and to join in the crucial endeavour of safeguarding it for future generations.

Overview: For decades, Baltimore has struggled to grow, hamstrung by a property tax rate twice that of the surrounding counties, a lack of affordable housing strategy, and underinvestment in education. The unequal burden has prompted the city to pursue a risky strategy of effectively paying developers to build. Using incentives with innocuous sounding acronyms like TIF and PILOT, new construction in the city has occurred largely at the expense of the city’s working class. Meanwhile, despite the promises that these incentives would reverse the city’s decline, Baltimore continues to lose population. How did we get here? Why is Baltimore the only jurisdiction in the state that must pay for development? And is there a better way to grow a city? These are just a few of the questions that our ongoing investigation, Tax Broke, will try to answer. The centerpiece of the project is an investigative documentary of the same name. The film—five years in the making—explores the history of the city’s fraught relationship with artificially imposed boundaries, codified segregation, and, finally, a political economy fueled by hundreds of millions of dollars in tax incentives doled out behind closed doors.
Director Statement: As a black woman fully invested in reporting on my community Baltimore in creative and innovative ways, the story of "Tax Broke" posed a particularly daunting dilemma. How to make a subject that is both dry and not really visual - i.e tax breaks for developers - interesting and watchable. I was faced with this dilemma because over time the city had invested hundreds of millions of taxpayers dollars in these incentives, but there had been little in-depth reporting on how this policy evolved and who was benefiting. That's why I knew I had to create this film, even. the though prospect of making a Tax Break visual interesting is not easy. Hopefully you will find in this film not just a story about a very poor city making very rich people richer, but an innovate approach to filmmaking that has made a topic often overlooked worth learning about.

After a year of songwriting celibacy, she was compelled to drop everything and spend seven days banging on a piano in the woods. This particular songwriting process felt dream-like. Like she was downloading from something outside of herself. Jess initially set out to just document dreams and songs as they came to her, freely puzzling them together with non-linear dream logic.

Overview: Covid-19 has decimated the patients of the Retirement Homes. In one of them two stories flow parallel through the empty corridors. Alfredo, the medical director, must face the inspection of the inflexible inspector, Viola, to whom he must account for the anti Covid measures adopted. Meanwhile Georg, an elegant and light-hearted guest of foreign origins apparently heedless of any health precautions, uses all his talents to win the heart of a new patient, Alida, who, who resists advances with less and less firmness. The two plots will inevitably intertwine. But nothing is as it seems.
Director Statement: With “When the Rain Falls in Baden-Baden” I tried to tell a story that brings to light more questions than answers. The Covid-19 emergency made the human race react to a drama where quick responses were the lesser of evils. Yet, we should never stop growing good doubts, that must not concern the reliability of science, yet the importance of human relationships. All the players in the movie at some point look outside a window, like we all did during the pandemic, seeking for the external world. Only one of them, through the window, finds an answer and not a question. It’s because in her world there is much more room for rules than for emotions. Rules are reassuring. Never the less, all other players follow their feelings, even though they don’t know if that’s the right thing to do. And that’s how we live, rather than only survive, in the end.

Overview: Two sisters, Alice & Ellie, have to sacrifice a Witch in order to become rich and powerful. As The Ceremony gets underway, it takes an unexpected turn when the ‘Witch’ uses her powers for evil. Who was the Ceremony actually for?
Director Statement: Joining the film industry at a young age, my dream was to always be a film director. Whilst meeting some incredible people along the way, one of them being Aashish Gadhvi, we spoke about making a film of our own. I had a clear vision in mind when setting out to direct my debut short film and I was specifically interested in the use of colour in horror. Ari Asters Midsommar and Hereditary are some of my favourite pieces of horror cinematography. I was greatly inspired by his use of colour to portray a story and in my instance the narrative of Evil vs Evil. Ari Aster has always, in my opinion, been one of the best Directors to use colours, blocking and framing to unconsciously unsettle the audience before shocking you with a jump scare or a disturbing scene of horror. Watching his films growing up, this is something I wanted to achieve in my short film.

Overview: As a young man checks out of a motel during midnight, he meets the motel owner - a mysterious old man who thinks of various ways to stop the young man from leaving. The old man claims to be a fortune teller and insists on reading the young man's future, to which the young man reluctantly agrees. As the old man predicts the young man's fortune through self-invented methods, he starts to get involved in the young man’s life choices and even becomes angry at the young man, making the young man surprised and suspicious about the old man's true intentions. That's when the young man decides to challenge the old man's predictions through philosophical reasoning and even gambling. As they debate about the future and free will, the motel also seems to subtly change in appearance, almost as if it were a scene from a dream… All this makes the young man wonder: who is this old man? And where exactly is this motel?
Director Statement: One of the key goals of “The Fortune Teller” is to experiment the breaking of traditional “continuity” rules in filmmaking. Writer & director William Wen is curious to present the most accurate or “true” perspective of a story’s protagonist, believing that a film’s visuals and sounds should be dictated by or even based around a protagonist’s state of mind. This is why Wen set the story inside a deserted motel - a symbolization of the protagonist’s fading memory, and a perfect playground to defy visual consistency. Although “The Fortune Teller” is a short drama by definition, the filmmakers’ approached the film with strong experimental ideas and philosophies. We encourage those who view the film on the big screen to pay careful attention to the film’s details - set design, costume, sound, etc… as they may be subtle clues to deciphering the mysterious relationship between the two apparent strangers.
