Films rich in culture and authenticity. Bringing people together through ritual and creating a sense of belonging together.

Balkan Women Don’t Cry by Leonarda Lovrekovic (Croatia)
An ode to Balkan roots, a call for awakening, and the release of generational patterns that no longer serve us. It carries the weight of the past while uplifting the brave, liberated voices shaping the future.

Spanish Chica by JAIME DEZCALLAR (Spain)
DJ duo Mëstiza and Carmen Beltrán’s dancers join forces in a choreography homage to Carlos Saura’s Carmen.

BAJANJE by Neža Jamnikar (Slovenia)
BÁJANJE explores elements of Slovenian folklore through movement and a fantastical tale. The focus is on the intertwined interpretations of Slovenian folk dances, music, old‑faith (pagan) rituals, and symbols.

Corralling of Circles by Siye Tao (China)
A far cry of the impulses to escape from a suffocating but all-too-familiar setting, which erodes our souls. The circular shapes, repetitive tasks, swirling movements seem to carry the lady into a sinking hole.

Memories of Reincarnated Imaginings by Nasheeka Nedsreal (United States)
What’s in a name, a face, a color, a place, a body, a history, a movement? With every curve, every turn, every swing, our myths reveal themselves as truth.
