Subira, since her childhood, has been a free spirit, a young Muslim girl born to be in the water. She loves to swim and to go fishing with her father – much to her mother’s dismay. In her element in the ocean, Subira dreams of swimming competitively, as the boys do. But when her father dies in a boating accident, suddenly she’s not allowed to swim at all anymore. Subira now finds herself firmly in the clutches of her traditional mother, Mwana, whose .single- minded aim is to arrange a good marriage for her daughter. The film tells the story both of Subira's arranged marriage at 18 to the handsome and progressive Taquif and her quest to finally learn how to swim. Are the two compatible? This searing family drama vividly captures the paradox of modernity versus tradition.

Shinpan (The Trial) is a Japanese language feature film adaptation of Kafka’s novel. Set in contemporary Japan, the film follows the novel faithfully but uses the eerie emptiness of post 3.11 Tokyo to create an atmosphere of creeping unease. Is this all a nightmare or is this the real world gone horribly wrong? John Williams’ version of The Trial is a satire on contemporary Japanese society, where sinister, creeping invasions of freedom go unnoticed by a sleeping population.

A young man of just 22, dressed in a black beret and a dark narrow suit, is on an airplane flying from St Petersburg to Paris. It is 1961 and Rudolf Nureyev, not yet the imperious figure of legend, is a member of the world-renowned Kirov Ballet Company, travelling for the first time outside the Soviet Union.Parisian life delights Nureyev and the young dancer is eager to consume all the culture, art and music the dazzling city has to offer. But the KGB officers who watch his every move become increasingly suspicious of his behavior and his friendship with the young Parisienne Clara Saint.When they finally confront Nureyev with a shocking demand, he is forced to make a heart-breaking decision, one that may change the course of his life forever and put his family and friends in terrible danger.From Nureyev’s poverty-stricken childhood in the Soviet city of Ufa, to his blossoming as a student dancer in Leningrad, to his arrival at the epicentre of western culture in Paris in the early 1960s and a nail-biting stand-off at the Le Bourget airport, “THE WHITE CROW” is the true story of an incredible journey by a unique artist who transformed the world of ballet forever.

Based on a true story, Sew the Winter to My Skin is a keenly observed epic-adventure drama that captures the horror of South Africa’s racist colonial regime through the life of the Apartheid-era folk hero John Kepe. Self-proclaimed the “Samson of the Boschberg”, Kepe stole livestock and other goods from white colonist farmers, collecting and sharing his spoils with the impoverished Indigenous population. Inevitably, he became a political threat to the very fabric of the ruling society. For over a decade Kepe escaped capture, until a manhunt, led by the decorated World War II veteran General Botha, resulted in his prosecution and ensuing death sentence for a murder that he might or might not have committed. Rejecting dialogue, Jahmil X.T. Qubeka relies on an immersive score and visual cues to follow the captivating chase of the legendary native outlaw through 1950’s rural South Africa. Through Qubeka’s evocative formal choices, the story explores the effects of colonial displacement, a racially charged society and humanity’s desire for heroes - whether real or fabricated - or as Qubeka says, "mankind’s inherent need to feed into mythologies that conveniently suit the order of the day.”

Jo, a witty 9-year old terminally ill girl is taken back to her rural village to live out the rest of her short life. Her only comfort during these dull times are her dreams of being a Superhero, which prove to be something her rebellious teenage sister Mwix, overprotective mother Kathryn and the entire village of Maweni think they can fulfill. From first-time feature filmmaker Likarion Wainaina and co-producer Tom Tykwer comes this honest and inspiring story about the strength of young people in the face of adversity. Obsessed with Jackie Chan and action films, nine-year-old Jo dreams of being a superhero, but time is not on her side. When the doctors reveal that she is terminally ill, Jo leaves the hospital and returns home to be with her mom and sister. While her mom insists that she stay inside and rest, her sister has different plans. With the entire village's support, they decide to make dreams a reality and turn Jo into the superhero they know she is. Newcomer Stycie Waweru delivers a captivating and earnest performance, imbuing her character with a subtle strength that ignites the screen. This film is a stunning reminder of the power of imagination.
