BUDAPEST SILO<\/span> J\u00f3zsef has been working at the largest grain mill still in operation in Budapest for more than 30 years. During the day, he wanders through the thick coat of dust at the mill, then he descends into the 25-metre-deep silos, undertaking the seemingly hopeless task of cleaning them. J\u00f3zsef suffers from the long-term effects of grain dust on his lungs, yet he seems unable to escape the mill. An unspoken bond seems to tie them together, during his work he hangs in his harness, utterly alone, and performs dazzling dance-like movements in the depths of the silo.<\/p>\n Original title: <\/strong>Szabadkik\u00f6t\u0151 \nECHO<\/span> An operation 10 years ago left Allister with damaged vocal cords and a barrier to communication. His remarkable solution reminds us that community thrives in surprising places.<\/p>\n Director:<\/strong> Ross McClean \nGRANDMA & GRANDMA<\/span> N\u01cei Nai is my grandma. W\u00e0i P\u00f3 is also my grandma. Together, they are a grandma super team that dances, stretches, and farts their sorrows away.<\/p>\n Original title: <\/strong>N\u01cei Nai & W\u00e0i P\u00f3 HANDFUL OF DIRT<\/strong><\/span> Is it possible to envision one\u2019s funeral? Halina is one of the last funeral singers in Podlasie. Her son Andrzej is a gravedigger. Over the years they have accompanied thousands of people to the other side. He dug, she sung. In their everyday existence, life and death intermingle. The ordinary with the ghostly. Reality with dreams. The silence is broken by the tune of a funeral song.<\/p>\n Original title: <\/strong>Garstka ziemi \nA MAN’S MAN<\/span> A Man\u2019s Man<\/em> is a searing and deeply personal journey into the lives of seven strangers from the North-East of England whose lives intersect at a weekly men\u2019s mental health support group. Heart-wrenching and often confrontational, this deeply compassionate and aesthetically rich film is a provocative exploration into what it means to be a man in the twenty-first century. We are confronted with the devastating impact of toxic masculinity, the continuing stigma surrounding mental health and the heart-breaking toll it inevitably takes. Remarkably, we are also confronted by something else: the power of connection, the strength of community, and the hope that comes from sharing our stories. In the end, this is a film about the human spirit and the strength of enduring hope.<\/p>\n Director:<\/strong> Myles Desenberg \nOASIS<\/span> At the dawn of their teenage years, Rapha\u00ebl and R\u00e9mi are twins who see their fusional attachment crumble while one of them, suffering from an increasingly marked disability, remains a prisoner of childhood. During one last summer surrounded by nature, time seems to want to stand still.<\/p>\n Director:<\/strong> Justine Martin \nOLD SUMMER<\/span> Krystyna is 72 years old, but she has never known true love. In order to change that, she signs up with a dating agency. However, subsequent dates only bring disappointment and her meetings with ageing men make her realize that a romantic relationship may not be at all what she needs to be happy.<\/p>\n Original title: <\/strong>Starsza pani szuka POSTCARDS FROM THE VERGE<\/span> A filmmaking couple gets stuck on the Bolivian-Chilean border for a year and a half due to the pandemic. Filmed by the protagonists, this is a visual story about growing up and trying to stabilize their relationship in a world that is going through a crisis.<\/p>\n Original title: <\/strong>Poczt\u00f3wki znad kraw\u0119dzi PUFFLING<\/span> On a remote Icelandic island, teenagers Birta and Selma rescue pufflings (young puffins) from imminent danger; as pufflings leave their nests for the first time, they often get lost in town, mistaking the harbour lights for the Moon. Over the course of one night, we follow Birta and Selma as they take it upon themselves to counteract humanity\u2019s damaging impact on nature: swapping night-time parties for puffin rescues. A coming-of-age documentary about growing up and making choices, Puffling explores the delicate interplay between wildlife, the environment and human life.<\/p>\n Director:<\/strong> Jessica Bishopp \nSQUID FLEET On any given night, tens of thousands of fishermen in China\u2019s distant-water squid fleet perform an industrial ballet thousands of miles out on the high seas. With unprecedented access to the extremely remote fishing grounds, Squid Fleet<\/em> is a poetic exploration of the motivations of the fishermen, the brutality of systemic labour abuses in the Chinese fishing industry, and the destruction wrought by the commodification of people and nature in our globalized world. It is based on two years of rigorous investigative journalism from the Pulitzer Prize-winning team of The Outlaw Ocean Project.<\/p>\n Directors:<\/strong> Will N. Miller, Ed Ou
