The Pain And The Power

The Pain And The Power

2026 • 107 min • United States
Decades after a sixteen-year addiction to cocaine, alcohol, and crack nearly ended his life, a Queer musician retraces his memory, music, and the wreckage left behind. The Pain and The Power is an award-winning, unflinching documentary portrait of artist, activist, and survivor Logan Lynn, by filmmaker Cai Indermaur. Tracing a 30-year career forged at the intersection of queerness, faith, addiction, trauma, and self-reinvention, and structured around the songs from Lynn’s latest record of the same name, the film treats music not as background but as a living character. Beginning in rural Nebraska and Texas inside a fundamentalist Christian world hostile to any type of difference, the film follows Lynn’s early sense of displacement, religious trauma, and abuse, and the ways secrecy and fear shaped both identity and survival. Through intimate interviews with Lynn, and decades of archival footage, music videos, and home movies, the film charts a restless trajectory: early success, underground acclaim, addiction, public collapse, and the slow, deliberate work of rebuilding a life on one’s own terms. Behind the scenes footage from early music videos, vintage tour clips, and present-day studio conversations collide with moments of humor, tenderness, and brutal honesty. The result is neither a redemption arc nor a nostalgia piece, but a meditation on what it means to outlive the versions of yourself that no longer serve you.

The result is neither a redemption arc nor a nostalgia piece, but a meditation on what it means to outlive the versions of yourself that no longer serve you. The Pain and The Power asks what remains after belief systems fail, relationships end, and the spotlight moves on; and how art can transform damage into something communal, generous, and alive. The film was named Best Documentary at the London Independent Film Awards (UK), Best Debut Documentary at the Athens International Monthly Art Film Festival (Greece), Best LGBTQ+ Feature at the Milan Indie Film Festival (Italy), Best Documentary and Best LGBTQ+ Film at the Global Visionaries Film Festival (Singapore), Best First-Time Director at the Berlin Indie Film Festival and the Portugal Indie Film Festival, and it won the Silver Award for Feature Documentary at the Paris Film Awards, the Milan Gold Awards, the London Movie Awards, and the Hollywood Gold Awards.

A century has passed, two world wars, and the Balkan conflict. Despite this, the situation in Eastern Europe remains extremely unstable, tied to superficial political and industrial relations. The old Trieste has changed its name and is now called Nuova Tergeste, in homage to ancient times when the city was the jewel in the crown of the northeast. It is precisely in the streets of this city that history begins. Shady figures move in the shadows, maneuvering the game pieces, and a sudden escalation of conflicts in the Balkans could trigger a new war in the heart of Europe, close to Italy. Understanding who is pulling the strings and preventing escalation is the task of the secret services. Determining who is trustworthy and who represents a threat is the primary objective. The agenda is clear: the imperative is not to succumb...

2026 • 20 min • United States, Not Specified
A curated collection of three surrealist films, sequenced as a strange journey, wordless, expressionist emotion as a spritual transformation. On a distant planet, a robotic force seeks to destroy all remaining life. Among the ruins, the machines discover a strange tree-being and bring it back to their citadel to be destroyed. One robot rebels, turning against the others to save the tree-being, and for this act of compassion is condemned and cast into Hell. Gaia appears, horrified by what has happened, and gives the robot a promise: all things pass from one form into another, and it, too, will be reborn. The robot descends into a hellish purgatory beyond words and sound, experiencing only pain. When we encounter the being again, it has become Dragon Diver, living among an enlightened civilization and dedicating its existence to rescuing drowning victims and carrying them safely back to the surface. For a time, there is peace, until the dragons of Hell return and begin attacking the planet’s cities. Rather than flee from the realm that once condemned it, Dragon Diver returns to Hell and confronts the Sea Dragon King, warning him to leave the planet and its people alone. Once condemned for saving a single life, Dragon Diver now returns to the place of its suffering to protect an entire world. While self contained stories with no explanation, each presents a refutation of modern machine generation, in mathematically and impossible and in a format subject to tape warping, ensuring that it is never the same way twice.
