Adelita y Tárrega dir. Pablo Rubín Mulero

A music video by Zarandajo. A couple tries to enjoy their environment, as well as each other's company. Yet a persistent paranoia keeps chasing them and they can't seem to shake it off, so they decide to escape.

American Gold Refinery dir. Shahar Kramer

A video essay set between two parallel worlds: the Diamond District on Forty-Seventh Street in Manhattan and a pigeon auction in West Babylon, New York. Diamonds and pigeons—one a precious stone, the other a city bird—form a study in contrast. Yet both derive their value from desire. Through the juxtaposition of these two environments, American Gold Refinery questions American notions of freedom and transaction.

Sally, Get the Potatoes dir. Danicah Waldo

A little girl's innocence is shattered when she takes an unexpected ride in her wealthy family's rolling laundry cart and learns their secrets.

Stray dir. Morven Christie

On her first trip to a Glasgow nightclub, 14 year old Eilidh has an experience that shakes her soul. She ventures out into the night alone and changed, in search of somewhere -or someone- that feels like shelter. Stray explores how nature can help us hold onto tenderness in a world that’s hostile towards it.

The Color of Stillness dir. Roman Vlasov

In a bustling city, a female painter finds peace and clarity through monochrome art, using the color blue to explore stillness, presence, and the endless freedom of the moment.

The Trees Still In Brooklyn dir. Amina Cami

An insecure young woman reevaluates her identity as a first-generation American during a telling conversation with friends.
