APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
USA| 2024 | 80 minutes
Dir. Sofie Benoot
Winner, 2025 Visionary Film Award
Stones are at once the most foundational and the most overlooked part of our living world. When a retired nature documentary narrator passes a kidney stone, she decides to tell one more story, exploring the forgotten world of stone. This hypnotic puzzle of a film basks in the wonder and woe of being, whilst posing urgent ecological questions. APPLE CIDER VINEGAR transports us to meet Palestinian quarry workers, a passionate British geologist, a woman who feels faraway earthquakes in her body, and people living on the lava fields of Fogo.
PERFECTLY A STRANGENESS
Canada | 2024 | 15 minutes | Dir. Alison McAlpine
In the dazzling incandescence of an unknown desert, three donkeys discover an abandoned astronomical observatory and the universe. A sensorial, cinematic exploration of what a story can be.
