In the Clouds Flecks of Memories Pass By
These films embody memories: some personal, others inherited or found. At times they’re mesmerising, yet fissures can appear in the depicted recollections. Subjectivity comes into focus. Established narratives are destabilised.

Our programmers recommend...
Hotel London
A Bangladeshi family confronts the harsh realities of temporary unstable housing in London, in a newly remastered drama that blends fiction with video activism.

Back and Forth Across the Line
