GROUNDED (Canada, 7 min, Dir. Annie Leclair): A stunning portrait of artist Marie-Hélène, who channels loss into fierce creative power. After losing both legs as a child, she rebuilds her world through paint and movement—until the arrival of her daughters ignites a bold new freedom and a creative rebirth you won’t forget. 

ONLY IF THE BABY CRIES (India, 15 min, Dir. Farooq Shadab): In the world’s only deaf-mute village, silence isn’t peaceful - it’s tense. As Misra Khatoon goes into labor, villagers bang drums outside her home, waiting for the one sound that will decide everything: her baby’s cry. 

MOTHER, THERE IS A STAR IN ME (Cambodia, 83 min — Dir. Sreymom Mab & Benjamin Rigley): A powerful, intimate journey with Cambodia’s groundbreaking all-female drum troupe - women who defy tradition, raise children alone, and make music that shakes the ground beneath them. 

Director Sreymom Mab joins us for a special presentation.
