Bound by shared dreams and unforgettable adventures, college best friends Ulani and Sienna revisits their memories throughout the years, sharing moments of joy and growth, recalling the experiences that defined their friendship.

With their future uncertain and the comfort of familiarity slipping away, Ulani and Sienna must navigate what it truly means to grow up without growing apart.
A film that boldly ventures into realms of intimacy that cinema rarely addresses so directly. Its creator, Dr. Diego Semerene – a non-binary Brazilian filmmaker and scholar of queer media at the University of Amsterdam – made a film essay twenty years ago as a deeply personal conversation with his father about growing up, sexuality and the search for masculinity. Their father had never seen this until now, watching it for the first time as a 71-year-old man. The film returns to that material, confronting the past with the present through an extraordinarily honest dialogue between father and child. It is a story about a queer childhood in Brazil, about the emotional tension between the desire for acceptance and personal identity, and about how memory and family intertwine with our deepest longings. Hypnotic, demanding and remarkably brave cinema that invites a conversation about the boundaries of intimacy.

Outdated sheep fences have excluded pronghorn from prime habitat in the Red Desert of Wyoming for over 75 years. After record snowfall in 2022-23 caused thousands of animals to perish along the fences, a group of wildlife professionals discovered an area of more than 100,000 acres that was excluding pronghorn. Within a year's time, conservation groups and a rancher worked together to restore access to the pronghorn's historic habitats and give this species a better chance at surviving an uncertain future.

Much like Rock ‘n’ Roll before it, heavy, aggressive music, including, but not limited to Heavy Metal, Punk, Hardcore and underground Hip-Hop, has gotten a bad rap since inception. Be that as it may, many who have been impacted by a wide variety of enervating conditions have come to rely on the output of heavy artists to successfully assist them through severe illness, weighty medical conditions, as well as debilitating mental health challenges. Heavy Healing seeks to dispel rumors and shine a much-deserved light on the healing powers of aggressive music. You will hear directly and candidly from artists, fans and industry types; remarkable individuals who have leaned on (or even become) “controversial” music makers in order to inspire and be inspired through the grueling process of recovery from the grips of cancer, anxiety and depression, strokes, heart attacks, cerebral palsy, complex blood diseases, juvenile diabetes and HIV/AIDS to name a few.
25 years after leaving, queer Romani photographer Béla Váradi returns to his rural Hungarian home. In spite of deep self-doubt and external resistance, he organises an exhibition of his work, an act akin to an intervention in a country where Béla's identity is subject to state repression.
In Cambodia, former Khmer Rouge child soldier Aki Ra and his wife Hout help communities reclaim their land by undertaking the potentially lethal task of clearing unexploded landmines left over from years of war. Along the way they adopt unwanted kids whose childhoods and limbs have been destroyed by landmines, and open a war museum that soon becomes world famous. Aki Ra fights to break free of shadows cast by his role in the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime, and rebuild his shattered family. But in a country grappling to come to terms with its history, the past always has a way of catching up.
