A Family Affair
We can’t choose our family, but we can choose how they define us. This collection reveals that, for better or worse, blood is definitely thicker than water.

Citizens of Earth
Our relationship with planet Earth is a troubled one. These films remind us that, in this time of climate crisis, we urgently need to reconnect with our planet before it’s too late.

In Someone Else’s Shoes
Film puts viewers in situations they’d never otherwise experience. These diverse stories remind us that appearances (and social media) can be deceiving; we can never really know what’s going on in someone else’s life.

In My Skin
Our relationships with our bodies can be fraught. These stories highlight how feeling connected to (or disconnected from) our bodies impacts how we move through the world.

The Funny Side
In a time of unprecedented challenges, sometimes all you can do is laugh. This hilarious collection will remind you that laughter really is the best medicine.

We Are Not Our Trauma
In a period of unbelievable challenges, we’re all just trying to get by, one day at a time. But these aren’t tales of hopelessness; they’re meditations on the power of community.

Through the Looking Glass
We are constantly staring at screens, but what looks back at us? Tech provides unlimited opportunities for connection; we’re still figuring out how humanity fits in.

Hearts on Fire
Love really does make the world go round. This collection reminds us that love is inconvenient, often messy and always imperfect, but it sure does inspire a lot of great cinema!
