Johan Grimonprez’s film essay, anchored by the rhythm of American jazz, reveals disturbing truths about the decolonial struggle between global political powers.

Set in 1953 at a psychiatric clinic in Blida, Algeria, and shot on location, the film follows Frantz Fanon, a young black psychiatrist, as he is appointed head doctor.

Winner of the FIPRESCI Prize (Critic's Week) at Cannes Film Festival, the debut feature from Lillah Halla centres upon a young volleyball player who finds her future freedom and agency threatened.

Payal Kapadia’s bold and distinctive debut feature is an immersive and spiritual work addressing issues of artist production as well as the political complexities of contemporary India. A Night of Knowing Nothing is framed by fictional letters from a female student to her estranged lover. 

In this hypnotic cinematic love letter that flows through time and generations, director Chloe Abrahams probes into what her mother and grandmother have long brushed aside, tenderly untangling painful knots in her family’s unspoken past.

Indian filmmaker Payal Kapadia’s stunning sophomore feature – which follows ICA Distribution project A Night of Knowing Nothing (2021) – is a profound meditation on urban migration and dislocation.
