Storm on the Stage is the story of an extraordinary challenge against time. With exactly three days to teach two highly demanding Turkish choreographies to American students, I faced a task that seemed almost impossible. Every rehearsal became a race against the clock—pushing through exhaustion, pressure, and doubt. This documentary captures the journey of transforming unfamiliar steps into a shared language, individual effort into unity, and a heartbeat into a performance. In just three days, the challenge was not simply to teach choreography, but to bring an entire group together and prepare them for the moment they would step onto the stage.
Stranded in a quiet Pennsylvanian city, flatbed truck driver Dan leaves his cab to explore his surroundings, only to be drawn to an old steel factory that seems frozen in time. Inside the rusting labyrinth, curiosity turns into a surreal inner journey as memories, industrial echoes, and dreamlike visions blur the boundary between reality and imagination. As Dan wanders deeper, the factory reveals itself as a symbolic kingdom where he sees himself as both wandering ruler and chained prisoner. Haunted by reflections on ambition, purpose, and the forces that shape human lives, he confronts a mysterious transformation that binds him irrevocably to the spirit of steel itself.

This short film focuses on the protagonist, Ruirui, telling the story of her life intertwined with her younger brother and mother—a family in which the father has been absent for an extended period. At the beginning of the story, while watching an animated film, Ruirui returns to her room to retrieve her headphones and happens to overhear her mother angrily reacting to her brother’s cut-off nails caused by his grandmother. However, despite facing a similar situation herself, Ruirui’s emotions are consistently ignored by her mother. Later, in a moment of desperation, Ruirui takes her brother’s headphones, only to be met with an unjustified scolding from her mother. After the argument, her mother flips through an old photo album and suddenly realizes the long-standing neglect she has shown Ruirui. She then prepares breakfast and delivers new headphones to her, hoping to make up for the love that had been overlooked.
COMBAT MIRROR follows a groundbreaking brain-health research program – the Pearce study, currently in academic submission – built around one urgent question: can combat sports be made safer for the young fighters taking them up. With access to the researchers behind it, the coaches implementing it, and the fighters volunteering as its first subjects, the film tracks how early screening and defensive-technique reform could reduce the neurological toll of boxing and MMA before it starts. Made with the support of the Concussion Legacy Foundation, COMBAT MIRROR moves between the lab and the gym to argue that protecting a fighter’s brain and protecting the sport are the same fight.

The intention of LUCID was to explore the proliferation of digital media that has cultivated an era where the lines between reality and fiction are increasingly blurred. Though we turn to social media to connect, it ultimately estranges us from ourselves and others and to reality itself. The purpose of LUCID is to allegorically represent this disconnect through the medium of lucid dreaming in order to expose the disintegration of the authentic self within a hypermediated world. My film would be suited to audiences who have a suspicion that the contours of existence extend beyond the dimensions of an iPhone screen, who are painfully aware that we are, in the words of Postman, “amusing ourselves to death.”

Shane returns to his rural childhood home with one objective: get through a family gathering without reopening the wounds he buried decades ago. But when his uncle Mort — the man who raised him after his parents’ deaths — is declared missing, Shane is forced back into the place where his trauma began.
As police question the family, Shane’s composure fractures. His preserved childhood bedroom, filled with relics of boyhood, becomes a silent witness to what was taken from him. His wife Audrey senses the truth before Shane can speak it — that Mort’s disappearance is bound to years of sexual abuse hidden behind respectability and silence.
When Mort reappears unexpectedly at Shane and Audrey’s remote Australian property, the past refuses to stay buried. Audrey witnesses Mort’s predatory control over Shane and understands, with devastating clarity, that the abuse never truly ended. Faced with a system that failed a child and would protect the abuser again, Audrey acts. Mort is killed, and his disappearance becomes deliberate.
In the aftermath, Shane confronts the cost of survival — the shame, the fear, and the complicity enforced by love and family. As police search for answers inside the same house where the abuse occurred, Shane and Audrey choose a different kind of silence, mirroring the lies that once protected Mort.
Yet something shifts. Shane moves from a man frozen by trauma to one who is finally seen and defended. Audrey becomes both protector and moral reckoning. ‘Wounds of a Boy’ is a stark Australian psychological thriller about buried violence, inherited silence, and the terrible, transformative moment when a survivor is finally believed.
When a catastrophic stroke destroys the creative half of his brain days before his international breakthrough, a celebrated rebellious Russian performer wakes paralyzed – unable to walk, speak, swallow, or sing. Filmed over several years, WILL POWER follows his fragile and nonlinear rehabilitation as fame fades and his family turns away. What begins as a medical recovery becomes something deeper: a dramatic confrontation with identity, limitation, and choice. Challenging the certainty of prognosis, the film explores the possibility that the boundaries defined by science are not always the limits of human will.
Brothers Mic & Jim Conway have been playing music since school days, when they started the Jellybean Jug Band together, which subsequently morphed into the Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band. In the early 1970s Captain Matchbox were a tearaway success with old 1920s/30s tunes such as My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes and comical tunes of their own, like Wangaratta Wahine. Mic loves visual entertainment and vaudeville, and creating instruments out of anything to hand. He has been in countless band line-ups over the last 40 years, and they all demonstrate his unique vision of performance, circus and vaudeville. Jim on the other hand is a natural musician and a blues one at that. He found his instrument early on in Captain Matchbox with the harmonica, proceeding to become one of Australia’s foremost blues harp players. As has been said of them, the brothers make sibling rivalry an art form, but they are also very close. At the age of 30 Jim was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), and this has gradually progressed over the last 40 years to the point where Jim is now virtually quadriplegic and can no longer play harmonica. Jim is married and Mic has his own family, but they have remained side by side through the years.
“Cine au fost stramosii nostri?”
What the evening left behind rests in corners of my heart, Like old postcards made of starlight from the years that fell apart, And the hush of twilight whispers on the windows of my mind, Of the tenderness and sorrow only time could help me find. What the evening left behind still remains beneath my skin, Soft reminders of the journey and the paths I’ve wandered in, Though the horizon keeps on fading, though the dusk is redefined— I am warmed by all the stories that the evening left behind. There are feelings I can’t measure, there are nights I can’t forget, When the world was full of longing and the sky was violet, Yet the sweetness of the memory settles gently in my bones— What the evening left behind still feels like coming home. What the evening left behind still remains beneath my skin, Soft reminders of the journey and the paths I’ve wandered in, Though the horizon keeps on fading, though the dusk is redefined— I am warmed by all the stories that the evening left behind. So I breathe the quiet twilight and I hold it close and mild, Let the softest recollection kiss the shadow of the child, For the echoes of the sunset tell a truth both sweet and kind— Life is made of what we carry… and what evening leaves behind. What the evening left behind still remains beneath my skin, Soft reminders of the journey and the paths I’ve wandered in, Though the horizon keeps on fading, though the dusk is redefined— I am warmed by all the stories that the evening left behind. And the echo stays within me, like a friend who never leaves.

However, the double gradually spirals out of control: it not only develops genuine feelings for Xiao Yu, but also begins to question the very value of Xiao Wei’s existence, and eventually claims to be the more perfect “Xiao Wei”.

In 1983, film student Rich Murray was handed $20,000 in a brown paper bag by a hustler named ‘Butch.’ These were the funds he used to direct his first music video for a local Philly rocker named Alan Mann. That video for the song “Christmas on the Block”, went on to become the first and perhaps only video by an unsigned artist to play on regular rotation on MTV. Using “Christmas on the Block” as a framing device, Murray illuminates Mann’s larger story – and how he could have, should of and almost did make it, but didn’t because of his excesses, and a tragic accidental death. The film also turns the lens sharply on the film’s director (Murray) and how his own excesses might have resulted in the same tragic trajectory, that but for wisdom and luck, did not.
Yousef, an Iranian asylum seeker and undocumented worker, faces a dilemma when an unexpected event occurs while he awaits the outcome of his interview, putting him at a crossroads.
