Truth Unscripted

In Embu County, Kenya, declining rainfall and soil degradation have pushed many smallholder farmers to the brink. If Not for Farming tells the story of a transformative regenerative agriculture initiative, where local farmers, scientists, and private sector partners collaborate to restore soil health, strengthen resilience, and secure food for the future. Through a training model grounded in scientific research and the lived experience of farmers like Sarah, this short documentary reveals how low-cost, sustainable techniques are not only reviving land—but rebuilding confidence, community, and leadership from the ground up.

In 1902, a new corner store opened it's doors in Calgary, Alberta. It was the primary grocery store in the region and a critical piece of the development of the Ramsay Community. It was then purchased by the Kim family in 1960, who have been its proprietors ever since. They have survived through the creation of the supermarket, the revolution of corporate chain convenience stores. They have survived so long because of their community, and in turn they have provided a meeting place and common space for a wide range of people to interact and buy their necessities.

However, Mrs. Kim is now in her eighties with failing health and the economics of the store don’t provide a future for her children to step into. More Than Convenience explores the impact one family can make on a community.

Hodoud tells the story of a Gazan family, Ameen and Narmeen separated by borders and a closed crossing after the war.
But those who absorbed the pain of separation most deeply… were the children.

Between Gaza and Belgium, the little ones not only endure the absence of their mother’s embrace, but live a suspended life that bears no resemblance to the childhood they deserve.
In Gaza, Ameen tries to offer his two children the warmth of a mother and a semblance of normal life under bombardment, while in Belgium, Narmeen carries longing and waits.

A film about imagining the past, remembering the future, and the rākau that binds this mātauranga together.

For centuries, Māori lived in harmony with the natural world, guided by ancestral knowledge systems that evolved in tandem with surviving in a raw and challenging environment.

Archival footage, creation stories, and ecological history combine to reveal how two centuries of colonisation cultivated a harmful myth of progress, prosperity, and productivity.

Rākau explores how this myth reshaped Aotearoa, calling upon viewers to challenge their assumptions reimagining what a decolonised Aotearoa could look like.
