Alsana lives in a small, chaotic neighbourhood in Ahmedabad, cut off from the rest of the city by an 85 acre landfill on one side and a highway on the other. Her family, like many others, moved here after the 2002 riots in search of safety and security. The area was a jungle, with no electricity or roads. Now, houses bump up against each other competing for space. In a place like this, a room of one’s own is hard to come by, but Alsana has a corner. Only her rules apply here. The corner takes on different forms - each an expression of her inner life, at odds with the world. Meanwhile, Alsana’s drawings show signs of the society seeping in, as she grapples with her identity and conflicts closer to home.

"The Sacred Place Between Earth and Space" is a cosmic look into the Afrofuturism movement and its Saturn-dwelling pioneer, Sun Ra, with Harlem Stage's 3 day concert series starring world renowned trombonist, Craig Harris. More than a doc, This film is a love letter to Harlem. It's a celebration of Sun Ra. It's an interplanetary dance and improvisational cry for peace.

He Kākano Ahau is a short documentary that tells the personal story of Kassie (Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga) through the Loading Docs platform. A courageous takatāpui (Māori LGBTQI) activist is fighting for true diversity in our Gay Pride celebrations. Director Kathleen Winter says of the film: “It's basically trying to give a different view of the LGBQT community and the way we celebrate pride. It is trying to do that by introducing us to takatāpui, which is a Māori word that is being reclaimed and used as a blanket term for Māori who are LGBQT in many different ways. It's mainly about my friend Kassie who identifies with takatāpui, and she – along with a lot of people – feel alienated with our pride celebrations.” Stuff.co.nz

Bands of the image network wrap and overlay elements in the landscape, decomposing them into a structure of panels, cut-outs and colours. Artworks in open space are transposed into systems of image and sound elements, and wandering through the place becomes an adventure through the bends of bird's eye perspectives, light compositions and 3D scans of objects protruding from uneven surfaces.

A wildly mystifying tale of life, death and the meaning of art from the jazzed-out brain of filmmaker and musician David Poulshock.

Deep Time of Latent Space relates the strata of human activity within large language models as another layer of the Anthropocene, which places AI into the realm of geological thinking that spirals into deep time and broadcasts into the future. The AI narrator takes us through the most incomprehensible moments of our history. It uses its generalized knowledge to resolve our grasp of these moments into data-visualized images. It does so with confidence and a little bit of attitude, however, it tends to hallucinate. These hallucinations shine a light on what is needed to create a more ethical and accurate AI. Lake George was also chosen as a site of deep time and for its art historical significance. Its implications allow for long-term thinking today. Another component to help guide the future of AI.

Under pressure from activist groups, art is increasingly being cancelled for ideological reasons, because of 'cultural appropriation' or because of the desire for a 'safe space'. The colour and gender of the artist seem to be all-determining in this. How do you relate to this as an artist? Is this a disturbing development or a sign of emancipation? And what does it mean for freedom of expression? Director Karin Junger investigates this with Anne-Fay Kops, Ted van Lieshout, Angel-Rose Oedit Doebé, Raymi Sambo, Boris van Berkum, Marian Markelo, Stephan Sanders and Thomas Chatterton Williams.

Parker is stuck in a basement, consciously living out a nightmare he knows will come to fruition unless he is able to warn himself while he's awake. The only problem is he can't remember his dreams...

The audio-visual piece titled “Festive Spaces” is a contemplation on the production of ideological spaces and their use in different temporal and ideological contexts. It is a lecture-performance staged in the assembly hall of a Soviet-time school building in Tallinn. With the participation of pupils of Russian-language schools, the piece deconstructs a media scandal concerning a class photograph taken in a hall of the History Museum of Estonia as part of the ritual of the inauguration of the first graders of one of the Russian schools in Tallinn. According to the National Broadcasting, taking pictures on the background of the mural “Friendship of Nations” (1987) by an acknowledged Estonian painter Evald Okas has an anti-Estonian undertone, as the iconography of the mural depicts Soviet symbols and subjects.
