Official Screening“Premiered at Nederlands Film Festival (NFF), on behalf of Fullscreen x XITE!, ROCKSTAR sheds much-needed light on the often unseen and unheard experiences of political migrants in the Netherlands. It follows the compelling truth of a young boy with dreams of leaving the AZCs and becoming the rock star he knew he always could be.”
“FOR SHARON is a creative film that explores the intersections of faith, endurance, and suffering, depicting how, at its very essence, all behaviour is an act of worship. Following the strained, yet intertwined journeys of a mother and son in a sacred space, the film depicts how acts of devotion often germinate an intimate violence of their own.”
“In MORE THAN ANYTHING, the boundaries of documentary and abstraction blur to explore the heavy toll of consequence and the labor of purification. The film offers a voyeuristic window into a complex emotional dance, weaving together ephemerality with the hauntingly familiar presence of a maternal voice. It is a raw, non-linear exploration of the tension between punishment and mercy, leading the viewer toward the titular longing. To be, more than anything, free from the weight of grief.”
