Welcome to Selects

Films from the festival’s Official Selection. Our autumn programme has now ended.

Into the World

Films by essential directors with essential themes that take varied approaches to exploring our past, present and collective future.

Rebellions

There are as many ways to rebel as there are humans on this planet—and cinema can be one of them.

Rhyme & Rhythm

From music to dance, from visual arts to performance, these films offer encounters and inspirations to a different beat.

Ghosts & Apparitions

Since the first glimpses of the moving image, ghosts were haunting our imaginations, including those yet to be.

Doc/Fest Exchange

What happens when a human who wants to change the world meets a camera?
