Cafe Noir

Cafe Noir

2026 • 3 min • United States
This three-minute film provides a haunting look at human indifference. The entire story unfolds inside a moody, dimly lit 1930s European café, where elegant patrons and their children sit in a bubble of willful ignorance. Dressed in slightly surreal elegance —highlighted by striking pops of red, like a woman’s cloche hat and a central character's crimson coat—they spend their time smoking, gossiping, and lounging in total comfort.
Occupied

Occupied

2026 • 26 min • Brazil
In the women's restroom of a small urban mall, the couple Ana and Carlos seek a moment of forbidden intimacy in a desperate attempt to save their marriage. What they planned as a quick, passionate encounter, however, turns into a claustrophobic trap. As they try to reconnect, they are interrupted by a succession of women, each one carrying a world of private crises into that anonymous space. Sobbing, unexpected confessions, and a growing tension from outside the stall force the couple to listen to the dramas of strangers—dramas that gradually become a cruel mirror of their own relationship. OCCUPIED is a short film about the secrets we keep, the truths we blurt out, and the loneliness that persists even in the most crowded places. Blending acidic realism with psychological suspense, the film transforms a banal setting into a powerful microcosm of contemporary anxieties and hypocrisies.

Joseph The Brahmin

2026 • 21 min • Australia, Pakistan
Set in **Madras (now renamed to Chennai) 1953**, *Joseph, The Brahmin* , Based on the real life of this writer's father, is a tender, decades‑spanning drama about love that defies caste, faith, and family tradition. Venky, a young Brahmin pharmacist, meets Maria, an Anglo‑Indian Christian girl caring for her ailing father. A quiet exchange at the hospital window becomes the beginning of a profound connection. Their innocent meetings grow into a heartfelt romance—one strong enough for Venky to challenge the rigid boundaries of his upbringing. When Venky asks for Maria’s hand, he faces fierce resistance from his orthodox family. Choosing love over lineage, he leaves home, converts to Christianity, and becomes **Joseph**. The couple marry without his parents’ blessing and build a life together—raising children, working hard, and holding onto each other through every storm. Years later, a legal notice forces Joseph to confront the family he left behind. What begins as a tense reunion slowly unravels buried truths: Maria reveals Joseph’s mother was once an abandoned Anglo‑Indian child who converted to survive. The family’s prejudice is shattered by the weight of its own history. In a deeply emotional climax, Joseph’s parents finally accept Maria and their grandchildren, recognising that love—not caste, not religion—defines a family. *Joseph, The Brahmin* is a moving story of identity, sacrifice, and reconciliation. It explores how love can challenge generations of division—and ultimately heal them.

VULNERARE

VULNERARE

2025 • 14 min • Italy
We find ourselves inside an ancient 19th-century prison, a place steeped in history. Born during the three days of mourning for Giuseppe Garibaldi, a national hero, the prison was decommissioned after two centuries when the last inmates were transferred to a modern facility. Abandoned for over 30 years, the prison becomes the stage for contemporary artists who, just before its irreversible transformation, decide to bring it back to life in a surprising way. Over six months of 'creative spelunking', painters, photographers, filmmakers, dancers, and musicians collaborate to unearth 'Communicating Artistic Organisms’. This 'Urbex Squad' immerses itself in decaying cells, inscriptions carved by inmates, and dusty files, aiming to explore through their diverse art forms the powerful link between vulnerability and creative strength that resides within each of us. The story of 'Vulnerare' reflects on the absurdity of modern times, where beauty and strength can emerge from the most unexpected corners and from the most challenging experiences. The prison becomes a metaphor for society, where its complex history and potential for transformation merge through creativity and the sharing of human vulnerabilities.

I was 12

I was 12

2026 • 3 min • Italy, Not Specified
I Was 12 is an autobiographical AI-generated music video and experimental short film about childhood abuse, survivor silencing, and the erasure of truth by power, shame, and denial. Rooted in the lived experience of a woman who survived childhood abuse and grew up with the fear of disappearance in Rome, Italy, the film transforms personal memory into a wider act of witness. It also stands as a memorial for Jeffrey Epstein’s victims and for all children and adults whose reality has been denied, minimized, or made unspeakable. At its center is one sentence: “I was twelve.” Not as confession, but as evidence. Through a fragile cinematic waltz, haunted elegance, symbolic distortion, and AI-generated visual storytelling, I Was 12 refuses the spectacle of pain and turns silence into image, rhythm, dignity, and presence.

Bleeding the Demon

2026 • 38 min • Australia
Bleeding the Demon is a raw and unflinching documentary that follows Mathew Love’s transformation from addiction, trauma, and self-destruction to a life rebuilt through discipline, accountability, and truth. After reaching a critical breaking point, Mathew undergoes gastric sleeve surgery, but soon realises the operation is only the beginning. What follows is a relentless confrontation with the patterns that shaped his past, as he works to rebuild not just his body, but his identity. At the centre of the film is a unique system of “loaded” training, carrying heavy weight up steep terrain, serving as a physical expression of the internal burdens he once carried. As the weight increases, so too does clarity. More than a transformation story, Bleeding the Demon is an exploration of what it means to face oneself honestly, to take ownership, and to change, one deliberate step at a time.

CArbonia, late 1980s. The city that grew up around the coal mines is experiencing a rude awakening: the mines that for decades provided jobs and a sense of identity to an entire community are now a distant memory, and in their place remain unemployment, urban decay, and a widespread sense of abandonment. It is in this post-industrial Sardinia that Caterina and Cinzia, sixteen-year-old inseparable friends united by a passion for volleyball, try to imagine a future different from the one their homeland seems to have already mapped out for them. Caterina has a strong personality but hides a fragility: she dreams of escaping a reality that suffocates her. The mining crisis has devastated her family: her father, a former miner, is a shadow of the man he once was; her mother works far from home just to make ends meet. Cinzia shares her desire to escape, her hunger for a different life. The two girls thus slip into a dangerous world, suspended between illegality and a desperate search for autonomy, becoming increasingly trapped in a web from which it seems impossible to break free: the film follows their emotional and moral journey, alternating moments of intimate complicity with the harshness of the choices they face, until the tragic conclusion that overwhelms them. Loosely based on the never-fully-resolved story of Gisella Orrù, *Stelle nel Pozzo* is a tale of friendship and the struggle for dignity in a context of marginalization. Through the stories of Caterina and Cinzia, the film offers a glimpse into
