Dover 82, UK 2025, 5:00 min, no dialogue, Dir: Aria Danaparamita
In 2024, 82 people lost their lives crossing the English Channel in search of sanctuary in the UK. A portrait of the sites of arrival and loss along the coast of Dover.
Notes from Brook House, GB 2025, 28:00 min, original version in English, Dir: Alex Nevill
Where are the borders of the United Kingdom? The landscapes, filmed in 16mm, reveal traces of various borders, such as airports, detention centres and shipping containers. Observations on the ways that migration is perceived and controlled.
Die noch unbekannten Tage, AT 2025, 78 min, original version with German subtitles, Dir: Jola Wieczorek
Using letters, conversations, and Super 8 reenactments, Jola Wieczorek reconstructs her family’s escape from Poland—an experience that led to a sense of alienation and continues to shape the filmmaker to this day.
The film won the 2026 Max Ophüls Prize.
