In March 2011, 72 passengers left the Libyan coast heading in the direction of Italy on board a small rubber boat at the time of NATO’s military intervention in Libya. Despite several distress signals relaying their location, as well as repeated interactions with at least one military helicopter and a military ship, they were left to drift for 14 days. As a result of the inaction of all state actors involved, only nine of the passengers survived. By combining their testimonies with wind and sea-current data as well as satellite imagery, Forensic Oceanography reconstructed the liquid traces of this event, producing a report that served as the basis of several legal complaints. -FA

This film starts from a personal journey by gathering shared experiences of other queer Chinese people living in the UK, offering a look at the wider context of these important issues as the director tries to understand the possible definitions of home and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Chinese lives through voice over, intimate letter changes, archives & news, interviews, and the use of digital mappings. We see how queer identities intertwined with diaspora are bound up by rejection from the home country, the struggle of racism in the host country, and the confusion of cultural assimilation in the context of ethnocultural transformation. Finally, the work delves into the reality that for people who are marginalised, either culturally, geographically, or socially is always a state of exile.

A documentary dealing with the struggle of independent hip hop artists to gain ground in the music business in 2011. Featuring interviews with MCs, label operators, producers and bookers, the film focuses on a range of genre-defying international artists such as Ceschi, Noah23, Babel Fishh, Th’ Mole, Gonjasufi, Robot Koch, Comfort Fit, Fulgeance, Oskar Ohlson, and more, many of whom collaborate within networks across the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Working with a very limited budget, the film attempts to provide an insight into the alternative hip hop scene, exploring the creative spirit and DIY punk attitude of the movement.

From Left to Night is an experimental film production through which a number of seemingly unconnected players, places, events, subjects and histories, drawn from the Church Street area in London NW8, meet. It involves five people, three locations, and the different subjects and forms of knowledge that they bring with them. These range from urban tensions – such as unresolved histories of the 2011 London riots – to music and the personal ways in which each of the protagonists relate to ideas of the political. Material gathered in a concentrated two-day shoot has been brought together in a film installation specially conceived for The Showroom, London NW8.

An audio-visual portrait of the Gowanus Canal using binaural contact microphones, a homemade hydrophone, and a last roll of Super-8mm Kodachrome. Since its creation in 1867, the canal’s murky bottom has absorbed over a century of industrial pollutants and raw sewage. Yet the canal retains a unique rustic beauty due to this very toxicity. The film asks us to open our eyes and ears to meet a hidden world submerged within this forgotten and neglected estuary.
