Fall and Winter

In Fall and Winter, director Matt Anderson travels 16,000 miles across the United States to uncover the deep origins of our global environmental crisis. Drawing on the warnings of Hopi elders and interviews with progressive thinkers, including anthropologists, bio-architects, and psychologists, the film traces the historical and cultural forces driving ecological collapse. It is both an urgent diagnosis of the present and a search for a viable path forward.

Udita

Udita follows five turbulent years in the lives of women at the grassroots of the garment workers’ struggle in Bangladesh. From 2010, when organising in the workplace led to beatings, sackings, and arrests, through the tragedies of Tazreen and Rana Plaza, to the point when the long fight began to pay dividends. The documentary sees this vital period through the eyes of female union members, workers, and leaders.

Tales of Rabassada

Tales of Rabassada is a short documentary by Catalan director Ferran Romeu about the ruined former Casino of Barcelona on the mountain road of La Rabassada. The film is seen through the eyes of Andrei, a globe-trotting Russian who has made his home among the remains of what was once the great dream of the Catalan bourgeoisie in the early twentieth century. Blending archival photographs and footage with a hand-held present-day exploration, it traces the gap between a gilded past and a decadent, humour-tinged present.
