Time and Water

FILM United States, Iceland 2026 · 90 min
Sara Dosa

<p>Facing the death of his country&rsquo;s glaciers and the loss of his beloved grandparents, Icelandic writer Andri Sn&aelig;r Magnason turns his archives into a time capsule to hold what is slipping away &mdash; family, memory, time, and water. How do you say goodbye to what you never thought you could lose? That&rsquo;s the question Magnason grapples with in Sara Dosa&rsquo;s ambitious new project following her 2022 Sundance Film Festival breakout Fire of Love. Tasked to write the eulogy for Okj&ouml;kull, the first glacier to be declared dead due to climate change, Magnason reflects on how glaciers create an archive of deep time within their ice over millions of years. Likening this idea of the depth of time to intergenerational memory, he sets out to pass along the stories of his grandparents for future generations, before they too vanish. Drawing from an evocative mix of photographs, home movies, myths, songs, and folk tales, Time and Water is at once an elegy for what we&#39;ve lost and an attempt at cinematic time travel to retain it.</p>

TheyDream

FILM United States 2025 · 89 min
William David Caballero

<p>After 20 years of chronicling his Puerto Rican family, a director and his mother face devastating losses. Through tears and laughter, they craft animations that bring their loved ones back to life, discovering that every act of creation is also an act of letting go. In TheyDream, director William David Caballero brings together decades&rsquo; worth of his family&rsquo;s stories in a profoundly moving and creative work of intergenerational healing through art. At its center is Milly, Caballero&rsquo;s mother, who dutifully bore the responsibility of caregiving for her father, mother, and husband as they dealt with aging and various health concerns. Working in close collaboration with Milly, Caballero uses miniatures and motion capture technology to transform old home movies and recorded conversations with departed family members into sometimes whimsical, often bittersweet animated sequences. Demonstrating deep vulnerability and candor, TheyDream and its stories of familial love and loss are both uniquely personal and universally resonant. Caballero was once told by a documentary professor that no one would ever want to see a film about his family. How wrong she was.</p>

The Last First: Winter K2

FILM United States, United Kingdom 2026 · 100 min
Amir Bar-Lev

<p>The race to grab the last great prize in mountaineering, K2 in winter, left five dead. It exposed deep fault lines in alpinism today: pressures from commercialization, toxic effects of social media, and long-brewing tensions between those who&rsquo;ve been marginalized and those who&rsquo;ve always basked in the sport&rsquo;s glory. In The Last First, master documentarian Amir Bar-Lev tells a complex, harrowing, and moving story that unpacks the industry of extreme mountain climbing and its changing culture. Focusing on a 2021 expedition, mountaineers John Snorri Sigurj&oacute;nsson, an Icelander, and Pakistani father-son team Ali and Sajid Sadpara set out to be the first to summit K2 in the winter, when the mountain&rsquo;s conditions are the cruelest. The men soon find themselves sharing the treacherous ascent with influencer climbers and their film crews, commercial expedition clients, and Nims, a Nepalese celebrity mountaineer, and his team of Sherpas. The Last First takes us to the icy heights and unpredictable weather of K2 and reveals a surprising and layered story &mdash; one of strategy and determination, class and caste, money and power &mdash; all under life and death circumstances.</p>

The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist

FILM United States 2026 · 104 min
Daniel Roher Charlie Tyrell

<p>A father-to-be tries to figure out what is happening with the AI insanity, exploring the existential dangers and stunning promise of this technology that humanity has created. There&rsquo;s something deeply compelling about art born out of acute anxiety &mdash; perhaps because it stems from vulnerability and a need for clarity. The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist grew out of co-director Daniel Roher&rsquo;s profound unease about the future, especially the role artificial intelligence will play in shaping it. Together with Charlie Tyrell, Roher explores both the dazzling possibilities and risks of these fast-evolving tools, along with the price they may carry. Combining expert interviews, home videos, and animations, the film meets this pressing AI discourse with curiosity and heart, clarifying complex ideas while acknowledging how much remains uncertain and deeply human. Rather than claiming to have all the answers, The AI Doc offers a conversation that feels urgent, hopeful, and impossible to ignore.</p>

FILM United Kingdom 2025 · 71 min
Marc Isaacs

<p>In his entertaining film, Marc Isaacs (The Filmmaker&#39;s House) makes a deal with The Synthetic Sincerity Lab, an AI research project affiliated with the University of Southern England. There, researchers are investigating the possibility of teaching AI characters authenticity, using characters from Isaacs&rsquo; documentaries to do so. In return, they allow Isaacs to film the process.<br /> <br /> An AI character, created in collaboration with Romanian actress Illinca Manolache, guides him through this complex research world and sternly instructs him how to behave there. Isaacs films the work of the rebellious AI researcher Lynn, and follows an Uyghur chef who puts himself forward as a subject of study. Can this chef, in AI form, put into words what he is unable to express as a human being?<br /> <br /> Isaacs&rsquo; innovative narrative gradually blurs the line between fact and fiction.Synthetic Sincerity explores the relationship between humans and machines through a blend of documentary, fictional scenes, and gently absurd humor. How does the development of AI influence the way we look at human faces? And how might this technology affect cinema in the future?</p>

Closure (by Michał Marczak) (2025)

FILM Poland 2025 · 105 min
Michał Marczak

<p>After his teenage son goes missing, Daniel scours the depths of the Vistula River, torn between the dread of a fatal leap and the hope that his son may still be alive. The Vistula River is hauntingly transformed into a purgatory for grieving father, Daniel, as he painstakingly scours each of its winding turns, pulled between the uncertainty of life and death in his search for any trace of his missing son, Krzysztof. Director Michał Marczak intuitively lets his camera drift between the placid surface of Poland&rsquo;s longest river and the murky secrets of its depths, mirroring the stoic façade and inner tumult of a father torn between hope and grief. As weeks stretch into months and years, Daniel&rsquo;s search slowly expands beyond the physical realm, and into the digital world, when he begins to chart the darkened halls of his son&rsquo;s online footprint in an effort to understand how systems of connectivity can lead a generation to the abyss of isolation.</p>

But the fire that burned in Eric became the spark to ignite a dynasty at Manchester United. At turns thoughtful and explosive, Cantona reveals how legendary manager Alex Ferguson channelled the brilliance of this most captivating and unpredictable of athletes. A tale of friendship and fatherhood, Cantona and Ferguson&rsquo;s testimonies reveal how a man misread as hostile and unknowable was finally understood, loved, and forgiven, by the strictest disciplinarian in football.</p>

All 157 people on board perished, including Max Thabiso Edkins, the younger brother of director Teboho Edkins. He and his father, film producer Don Edkins, decided to travel together to the crash site in order to seek something tangible in their grief.<br /> <br /> What they find is a community in which mourning is an important part of the culture. Just as for the Edkins family, the lives of the villagers have also been turned upside down by the crash. In a deeply moving experience, they discover that the community members who welcome them regard the crash victims as visiting guests, whom they have taken into their hearts as brothers and sisters.<br /> <br /> Their compassion contrasts starkly with the calculating stance of airplane manufacturer Boeing. As if attempting somehow to connect with his brother&rsquo;s spirit, the filmmaker immerses himself in the sounds of the disaster site.</p>

<p>Top-level show jumping horses are treated like pop stars, zigzagging all over the world from one show jumping competition to the next, awaited by hordes of enthusiastic fans. They travel aboard a specially equipped airplane. In this &ldquo;flying stable,&rdquo; every effort is made to ensure the prize horses arrive at their destination with as little stress as possible.<br /> <br /> In a short documentary Lasse Linder follows the travel schedule of Legacy, a fifteen-year-old mare ranked among the very best in the world. Linder shows the constant care and personal attention the horse receives, but also the problems that can arise from incorrect paperwork at customs.<br /> <br /> Much of the film is shot from the horse&rsquo;s perspective, with the world constantly framed by the bars of stable doors or the forecful motion of a treadmill. When Legacy returns to her home base in Florida, her owner claims that her &ldquo;girl&rdquo; leads a privileged life.</p>
