In a film production office before an all-night shoot, Jane, the Coordinator, packs up to go home after a long day. But the phone rings, and a chain reaction of events and misadventures are set into motion that force her to stay, and stay, and stay, all night. From missing props and wardrobe to a missing actor, from angry power struggles to sexual misconduct, Jane and her faithful assistant, Justy, manage to navigate these messy, often political waters while keeping their heads up with bawdy humor, off color language, and professional solidarity.

Poster for All Roads Lead to Afrin

2016 · ★ 0.0 (0)

A Russian girl, a Kurdish father. The father lives in Syria, in a town near the Turkish border. The girl joins him to meet her new family and... to find her lost roots. Everything moves forward in fragments, of time and of space. It is not only an aesthetic choice. It is a form consistent with the state of war, with the fragility of existences, with the capturing of reality by the body and by the spirit. But everything moves forward, in its way, carried along by a painful energy that obstinately perforates the borders.

Poster for Endangered

1988 · ★ 6.0 (1)

The Peruvian Galapagos Islands feature in Hammer’s film Endangered, where Blue-footed Boobies, seals and iguanas are equated with the filmmaker herself who identifies light, life and the genre of experimental film to be threatened with extinction in this late twentieth century. Every image is marked and cancelled before it disappears. Even the emulsion of the film is treated with acid showing its fragility. The film is a highly effective compilation of image, colour and sound building upon each other, slowly heightening the sense of urgency. Against this mood there is a reassuring image of a silhouetted woman working at the film projector. A strong, competent, fearless woman. Woman documenting, warning, saving.

"Refashioning the intent of footage lifted from an online Taiwanese news outlet, this cautionary tale is about the inexplicable sea - a poetic tour through the obsession to conquer the Great Whale to the current crisis of the migrants fleeing war." - Peggy Ahwesh

Poster for Apt. + Car + All I Have and Own

2014 · ★ 5.5 (2)

In Bodén’s hometown of Jämtland, staying put is anathema: speaking to a group of kids about this drive to leave home, she is told by a male student that only “stupid girls” would stay there any longer than is necessary. This hits home with Bodén, who was prompted to her research here by a conversation in which her sister declared, “I don’t think I’m worth more than Jämtland.” After her initial dismissiveness of her sister’s statement, she started to second-guess the conversation and her own ingrained notions of what it meant. This film is about Bodén’s search for understanding.

Living with Giants delves into the imaginative world of Paulusie Kasudluak, a young Inuk facing responsibilities as he transitions into adulthood. The film portrays his thoughts, his dreams, and his beliefs, and allows for an intimate immersion into his life. Paulusie is a caring son to his ailing father and a good boyfriend. But what begins as the story of an innocent teenager quickly becomes the struggle of a young man coping with the guilt of having made a huge mistake. Tragically, Paulusie takes the most dramatic decision and takes his own life. Living with Giants remains a poetic journey of resilience that echoes issues that are far greater than Paulusie's personal story.
