Indomitable Spirit Films:
* Shanti Rides Shotgun (dir. Charles Frank), USA, 2024, 8min.
On Manhattan’s jam-packed streets, New York City’s most iconic driving instructor prepares students to navigate the road ahead. With a brash attitude and a 99% drivers test pass rate for her students, Shanti Gooljar is the most-requested instructor at the Empire State Driving School.
* Saving Superman (dirs. Adam Oppenheim & Samuel-Ali Mirpoorian), USA, 2024, 11min.
In a small suburb outside of Chicago lives Jonathan, a 57-year-old man with ASD (autism spectrum disorder), also known as “Superman.” Known for his heroic actions, Jonathan is a revered member of the Glen Ellyn community and has been a staple in the 4th of July Parade for nearly 30 years. Jonathan’s living circumstances become threatened, and his community comes together when Superman needs saving.
* The Changebaker (dir. Courtney Dixon), USA, 2025, 16min.
Manolo Betancur immigrated to the U.S. to chase the American Dream and escape the horrors of war in Colombia, where he was a captain in the Army. He uses nightmares of the past to fuel his mission to create jobs for fellow immigrants at his bakery in North Carolina. But after a string of ICE raids, the shop has become something more than just a trendy local spot for baked goods. It has become a hub for local activism, and a symbol of hope and resilience for the community. A sign hangs proudly at Betancur’s door for all to see: “Made in America by the Hands of Immigrants.”
* Whispers (dirs. Josh Fairmont & Oliver Smith), USA, 2024, 6min.
Whispers is an exploration of the deep connection between skiers and the mountains, capturing the raw intensity and quiet beauty that draw us back year after year. The film showcases the magic of skiing long after the crowds have gone, where the glow of headlamps cuts through the darkness, snowflakes shimmer under moonlight and every turn feels otherworldly.
* Tiger (dir. Loren Waters), USA, 2024, 13min.
Dana Tiger (Muscogee/Seminole/Cherokee) was just five years old when her father, legendary Muscogee Creek artist Jerome Tiger, passed away. She turned to his art as a way to know him, the richness of her culture and her family’s artistic tradition. After the family T-shirt printing business was derailed by tragedy, Dana and her family work for years through their grief to revitalize the iconic Tiger T-shirt company. Now, everybody wants to get their hands on a Tiger.
* and again. (dir. Wiley Kaupas), USA, 2024, 10min.

* The Life We Have (dir. Sam Price-Waldman), USA, 2025, 24min.
What would you do if death felt just steps away? For Rob Shaver, who has faced multiple stage-four cancer recurrences over the past two decades — death has felt like an ever-present shadow. The Life We Have captures Shaver’s resilience, wisdom and deep appreciation for life, as he navigates his latest battle with the disease.
* GOOCHIE (dirs. Cole Bernier & Adam Price), Canada, 2024, 3min.
Adaptive mountain biking has been gaining traction worldwide over the past few years, but its true potential is just getting started. Filmed at the Whistler Mountain Bike Park in British Columbia, Canada on the unceded territories of the Lil’wat Nation and Squamish Nation, Goochie spreads the stoke about a growing sport that’s rewriting the rules of the trail.
