An enigma signed with the very recognizable style of Helena Wittmann, a use of film that is the more tactile the more the senses become deceptive, the more touch sight and hearing say nothing but the happening of things, and the parameters with which we evaluate reality are lost, depending on the point of view, in a world of possibilities or in an abyss.

Echoes: The B Side

Mars Storm Rucker

USA / 17:36 mins
This film dissects the different perspectives of how the unconscious mind finds healing through nostalgia and connection to the inner child. The inspiration of this stemmed from the medicalization of gender dysphoria by the ADA. This bred me to interact with the question of the intimate why's behind this incongruence between sex and gender, whether gender dysphoria was inherent to transness, and analyze history and how America medicalizes black people. I wondered about our black indigenous understandings of gender pre colonization and western ideals. This experimental documentary-film ultimately examines the technology of black liberation and healing of trauma through vintage fashion, vintage aesthetics, and the romanization of nostalgia to create afro-futuristic utopias.

Numakage Public Pool

Japan / 80 mins
Affectionately nicknamed ‘the ocean,’ Numakage Public Pool in Saitama, just outside Tokyo, has defined summer for local residents for 52 years. Yet, in the summer of 2023, the city demolishes the pool against the wishes of the community. Framed around Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’ five stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—the film juxtaposes the death of a place with the death of a person. Layering the scenery from inside and outside the pool with personal stories, it documents the loss of space in the universal language of sorrow. The director subtly weaves dramatic elements into these valuable records, highlighting the significance of the space of the pool in a cinematic way. A remarkable film that plainly yet also humorously captures the ache of loss, it will guide each viewer to their own ‘lost place’ in memory after the credits roll. (JO Ji-hoon)

Polish film about abortion

Pamela Porwen

2025

Poland / 91 mins
Six stories. Six voices that have been silenced for years. ‘Polish Film About Abortion’ is not just a record of experiences – it is a cry that cannot be silenced. Pamela Porwen, known for her uncompromising activist photography, this time gives space to the protagonists, whose lives have become entangled in politics. In a raw, almost intimate form, the film interweaves the narratives of people from different backgrounds – a transgender man, a victim of sexual violence, an activist convicted of helping someone have an abortion – to create a brutally real picture of a reality in which decisions about one’s own body are a luxury available to few.

There are no aesthetic filters or glamorous shots here – instead, there are emotions so thick you could cut them with a knife. Silence is no longer an option. This is a film that shocks, teases, opens your eyes and doesn’t let you forget.
