Members of the Problematic Family
A man dies young. Funeral rites – yes; mourning – not so much. A death that stirs and shakes things up. A film that shows the violence of family relationships with uncanny subtlety and verve, the pendulum of void and solace.
The Slow Man and His Raft
Set in rural Bengal, Pradipta Bhattacharyya’s contemplative drama about the human condition, The Slow Man and His Raft, centres on Nadhar, a motion-impaired, middle-aged man, “slower than a sloth”, who is swept into a touring circus following the death of his caregiving mother. Nadhar is something of a relic, a slow man stranded in a frantic, productive society. For those around him, his slowness can at best serve as a derisory spectacle. An expansive meditation on human nature, slowness and being profoundly out of step with the world.
Texas Rhapsody
Texas Rhapsody is a powerful, inspiring film set against the oil fields and open skies of West Texas. Inspired by 3 true stories, it follows lives shaped by immigration, grit, and hope - where music becomes shared language. Written and produced by Sam Pfiester and directed by Taylor Stanley, the film features non-actors playing themselves, striking landscapes, and an unflinching look at humanity.
