All We Imagine as Light

Two nurses, seemingly two generations of thought and approach, making it work in Mumbai. In what I can only describe as the most lusciously romantic film in a long while, ‘All We Imagine As Light’ is at once both patient and quick, diving us headfirst into the interior worlds of

EAT/SLEEP/CHEER/REPEAT

As they make their way to the Olympics of Cheer, the Irish Cheerleading Team (and their coaches) let themselves be known to the camera - their personal lives and their fight to get it right. This is a fascinating slice of life, which gives you a unique look into the

Prospect House: Fragile Fiction

In a whirlwind blurring fact and fiction, Prospect House grapples with the very concept of History and Storytelling. What can we know, what can we guess - and who gets to guess? Through the lens of a House on the brink of demolition, a team of re-enacters seek to save

Mrs. Robinson: The Blueprint of Leadership

Grand Theft Hamlet: We are now Killer Shakespeare.

In a strangely emotional and predictably hilarious 1.5hrs, ‘Grand Theft Hamlet’ stages Shakespeare. I say that clear-eyed, as I know there must be parts of the film that simply could not have been organic. However, the story they told of isolation, loneliness and a search for order and expression

How to Build a Truth Engine

In the midst of the American Presidential Election, the subject matter of this George Clooney-produced Documentary couldn’t be more pressing. Alongside a noble effort to highlight the fallability of our current information ecosystem, a team of experts share their research, models and tools they have developed in the modern
