Explores a deeply personal concept that the artist has termed “return to self,” referring to the sometimes painful spiritual journey to reclaim the freedom, passion, and possibility of childhood as an adult. Anderson shot the film in Columbus County, North Carolina, where her grandmother was born and her extended family still lives today. Settled by British colonizers and named after Christopher Columbus, the area’s violent and racist history is compounded by Anderson’s own difficult familial past there. Nevertheless, it is the place where family has repeatedly gathered over the years to find moments of healing and joy.

Poster for Unconscious Will

2019 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Humans are the most complex creatures. Times change, but human consciousness remains a mystery. What drives us to behave in certain ways, and sometimes to do things that we would never think ourselves capable of? Do we really know the people around us? Do we really know ourselves?

Poster for The ladies of the desert

2011 · ★ 0.0 (0)

The film offers an insight into a nearly forgotten world. The times when the Sahrawi war of independence was on the international agenda seem to be long forgotten. The fate of hundreds of thousands Sahrawis living in refugee camps since the 1970s seems not to be spectacular enough for further attention. Inthe film the women get a chance to speak. It is a film about their experiences and hopes. It is mainly a film about life in surroundings where seemingly normal things are real challenges. The film is a simple and impressive portrait of women, who have been fighting against their fate to help their people. They have never lost their drive, no matter how unfavourable the circumstances have been. It reminds us of the fate of the Sahrawi people. The film is realistic, without any kitsch elements. It shows impressive pictures of the real lives of strong women, who have never stopped fighting for independence.

Poster for A Mouse and a Pencil

1958 · ★ 0.0 (0)

At night, a little mouse wanders around the nursery. The mouse nibbles at the fringe on the carpet and the trash can. And then there's the hazelnut. It gets up on the table and sees a pencil-very suitable for nibbling. The pencil asks him to wait - it wants to draw something for the last time. First the cheese is drawn, then the apple is added, and then the sausage. But when the pencil adds a mustache to the drawing, it turns out that it is a cat. The mouse is afraid and runs away.

Poster for Bee-Kept

2025 · ★ 0.0 (0)

A swarm-hearted documentary on bees and beekeeping in Ireland. Bee-Kept is a documentary that feels like a visit to a secret apiary, or a conversation with a beekeeper-joyful, rambling, inspiring and packed full of information (and opinions!) about honeybees. Narrated by Alison Spittle. Ask four beekeepers a question, get five different answers-or so any beekeeper will tell you. Beekeepers are a curious species, and just like the bees they keep, the group is often more mysterious than the individual.
