In a quiet corner of Brooklyn, two strangers find their lives briefly colliding at a gas station. One is a woman silently enduring the trauma of an abusive marriage; the other, a man living under the constant threat of deportation, hiding in the shadows of a broken immigration system. As ICE agents patrol nearby, the weight of their unspoken fears draws them into a moment of unexpected connection, a fleeting but profound reminder of shared humanity in a city that rarely slows down.

Following the exceptional acclaim for his “AYE” tetralogy, 2021-2024 (over 140 international awards), Philpott undertakes the first ever complete filmic interpretation of Proust's monumental “À la recherché du temps perdu”, with rich narrative forms reflecting the wide range of voices in the novel, providing a visual feast with sonic immersion, to reveal the vast panoramic structure of Proust's masterwork and provide a new 21st century foundation for this timeless 20th century epic. "We feel in one world, we think, we give names to things in another; between the two we can establish a certain correspondence, but not bridge the interval. It was quite narrow, this interval, this fault that I had had to cross." - Marcel Proust un tour autour de la tête de Proust - reminiscences from "Remembrance of Things Past" PART ONE (UK 2026, 4k digital, 55 minutes) PART TWO (UK 2026, 4k digital, 87 minutes) PART THREE (UK 2027, 4k digital, 102 minutes) PART FOUR (c 120 minutes; 2027) PART FIVE (c 100 minute; 2027)

After a quiet day at the beach, a couple is forced to acknowledge an ending neither of them is ready for. As the light fades and the tide turns, small gestures and unspoken looks carry the weight of what cannot be said. Guided by a poem from Anna Hoghton, the film is a meditation on love, longing, and the ache of saying goodbye.

Inside a dirty, time-frozen kitchen, a troubled young man confronts his own alter ego: a sharp, sarcastic and relentless presence that forces him to face his fears. Through provocation, brutal honesty and unsettling metaphors, the protagonist realizes that his hesitation isn’t keeping him safe—it’s slowly erasing him. In a psychological duel with no escape, he’s pushed toward the hardest decision of all: keep living as a spectator or finally take control of his own story.

Brother and Sister - same Satan (Water and Wind) is an evolved version of Brother and Sister - same Satan (She hadn't... He woudn't...) that I had been filming during workshop of 6th Queer Filmmaking Atelier of Queer Voices Festival in 2023. Back then, for the first time, I told a story of me and my dead sister, what she hadn't become and what I wouldn't become. It was about a connection between us, her influence, our similarities, queerness. It was a dialogue. I presented an idea that the dead keep being present and on a rise of fascism and era of non-truth, it could be a bridge to reality and origins in a wider socio-political context. Brother and Sister - same Satan (Water and Wind) is a confession to the dead about what happened after their passing. It is a conflicted between remembering the dead and seeing the living. It is an example of the fight between "the idea" (death) and "the fact" (living person) The movie is a journey from hatred, resentment, grudge to acceptance, mourning, love. The film doesn’t aim to give a conclusion nor concrete resolution-ending to the event and conflict. In my opinion, the repetitive bugging thoughts and speculations stay forever because there is no resolution-ending without the voice of the other side, the presence can only offer an acceptance and moving on. *Brother and Sister - same Satan (ukr/rus) - rephrase of “Husband and Wife - same Satan” made and constantly repeated by my sister that means together as one, bonded, the same. *Water and Wind - the name comes from zodiac signs: Scorpio and Gemini" * The narration in the movie is in three languages: Ukrainian, Russian and English to show three points in life: adulthood (Ukrainian), childhood-adolescence (Russian) and finding myself in an art field (English)

Our ancestors knew every edible plant, every healing herb—knowledge we've almost entirely lost. Forager Pascal Baudar moves through Southern California's woodlands and desert with ancestral eyes, gathering what most would overlook. He teaches others to awaken senses dulled by modern life—to taste, smell, and touch their way back to an ancient knowing. He forages wild plants for food and fermentation, hand-harvests clay to craft vessels, creating an extraordinary feast that exists nowhere else. This intimate portrait reveals what we gain when we slow down enough to remember who we once were

A teenage boy's driving lesson takes an unexpected turn.

A very short film about the legendary Danish-American Jacob A. Riis who was one of the 19th century’s most innovative journalists and the father of modern documentary photography. Tormented by unrequited love, Jacob Riis emigrated from Denmark to the United States in 1870 and ended up as the very definition of the American dream. His good friend and President at the time, Theodore Roosevelt, called him ‘an ideal American’. But before that, Riis had to work his way up from scratch as a drifter, a shipwright, an iron salesman and more. He went on to become recognized as one of America’s most significant social revolutionaries, and in his book ‘How the Other Half Lives’, he documented, through photographs and text, the plight of immigrants living in New York’s slums. This little film is wrapped in an incredible love story.

The Farewell film is a live action adaptation of a script initially conceived as an animated film. This film utilized the talents of local and regional actors and crew, and was filmed for the most part in Brown and Redwood Counties in Minnesota. In keeping with the surreal genre of the film, it will leave a question at the end to ponder. We hope you enjoy it. This activity was made possible by an artist grant provided by the Prairie Lakes Regional Arts Council from funds provided by the McKnight Foundation.
