Alice in the Land of National Guard of Russia
A girl from St. Petersburg walks around protest-ridden Moscow, talking to riot police and believing that sooner or later they will go over to the side of the demonstrators. An 18-year-old student of a St. Petersburg college introduces herself as Alice and tells about herself that from the age of four she lived in an orphanage and in foster families. In Moscow, Alisa, for whom this is the first rally in her life, walks along the police cordons and looks under the OMON helmet. "Under the mask you can't see, are you even human?"

Chauka, Please Tell Us The Time
An urgent and powerful documentary, shot in a detention centre where asylum seekers trying to reach Australian shores are indefinitely detained. Secretly shot on a mobile phone by Iranian journalist Behrouz Boochani while detained on Manus, in Papua New Guinea, the film is a collaboration with Dutch-Iranian filmmaker Arash Kamali Sarvestani. Boochani recounts, via the testimonies of fellow inmates, the abuse and violence inflicted and the precarious state of limbo they find themselves in. Chauka, the name of the dreaded solitary confinement unit within the detention centre, was originally the name of a beautiful bird and symbol of the Manus Island. By interweaving dialogue with two Manusian men and shots of daily life on the island, the film gives a much-needed voice to Manus inhabitants, understandably distressed by the current situation. With marked restraint, the film exposes lives broken by shocking immigration policies.

Like other people I was sorry, and felt obliged to help and care for other passengers. Then I begin to film these common heroes with my camera. Those who speak about hope, who provide it and get on the bus, Ms. Kim Jin-suk, and other crane laborers who risk their safety while demonstrating for their rights on high. She, while stationed insecurely on high, begins interacting with the world through Twitter and makes friends. Then I realize I really love her. Will we have her back safely?

CYCLE 04 May 2025
CYCLE
CYCLE pierces the silence surrounding police violence in America through the killing of Ty’rese West, an 18-year-old Black teenager whose death at the hands of police occurred without cameras, witnesses, or public scrutiny. In the absence of visual evidence, his case slipped quietly out of view—mirroring a broader pattern in which accountability depends on what can be seen. The film follows the aftermath of an unseen death: closed courtrooms, shifting official narratives, and the toll of pursuing answers within opaque systems of power. Rather than relying on the virality of a moment, CYCLE examines how silence functions within institutions, and how families are left to carry truth forward when justice fails.

Big Brother: A World Under Surveillance
Under the pretext of fighting terrorism or crime, the major powers have embarked on a dangerous race for surveillance technologies.

Orwell's nightmare.
