So while astronomers examine the most distant and oldest galaxies, at the foot of the mountains, women, surviving relatives of the disappeared whose bodies were dumped here, search, even after twenty five years, for the remains of their loved ones, to reclaim their families' histories. Gradually the celestial quest of the astronomers and the earthly one of the Chilean women come together.

Born and raised on the harsh streets of Magadan, a frigid outpost of the Soviet gulag, Gena is only 21. She stages radical performances in public that become a new form of art and activism. By doing that, she wants to change people’s perception of beauty and queerness and bring attention to the harassment of the LGBTQ+ community. The performances - often dark, strange, evocative, and queer at their core - are a manifestation of Gena’s subconscious. But they come at a price.

Documentary'Who Killed The KLF?' uses previously unheard tapes to explore the rise and fall of the KLF in the 1980s and 1990s, touching upon themes that perfectly capture the 21st century zeitgeist. The film is a fascinating insight into the machinations not only of Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond, but of art, culture, and capitalism. Through a combination of archive and reconstruction, we follow them on wild road trips to Sweden to 'find ABBA'; to Scottish islands with robed journalists; and to Spain to watch the band make a disastrous big budget movie with no plot at all. As well as the crazy side of the band, we also explore the mainstream fame they had, with frequent visits to 'Top of the Pops', huge hits like 'Justified and Ancient', to their sets at warehouse raves with huge anthems like 'What Time is Love?' as their stunts got increasingly hostile and violent. Our film reaches its dramatic peak after their biggest and best (or worst) stunt yet - after they burn £1 million pounds and then dr
DocumentaryOne More Time with Feeling began as a performance-based concept around the making of new Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds album Skeleton Tree, but evolved into something more complex as director Andrew Dominik delved into the personal backdrop of the writing and recording of the album. Interwoven throughout the Bad Seeds’ filmed performance of the new album are interviews and footage shot by Dominik, accompanied by Cave’s intermittent narration and improvised ruminations. Filmed in black-and-white and colour, the result is stark, fragile and raw. A co-production between Iconoclast and Pulse Films, in association with JW Films, and produced by Dulcie Kellett and James Wilson, One More Time with Feeling was officially selected for world premiere at the 2016 Venice Film Festival.

DocumentaryO’Mast means master in Neapolitan. But also a master craftsman, holder, employer. And, in some environments, even something more. O’Mast explores the tradition and the culture of expert sartorial tailoring, one of the very last excellences of Naples. A story of in- visible details and revealing gestures with timeless protagonists - men that made a natural philosophy of their job. And vice versa. O’Mast shows pictures of an unknown Naples, very far away from the decadent (even if sadly true) stereotypes we are used to. The blue of the bay alternates with the half-light of the interiors, while an overbearing light sifts out of thin curtains. This is the scenario where we meet some of the best tailors in the world, with their cli- ents that complete the tale. O’Mast defines the art of craftsmanship in images. The quality be- hind elegance contrasts with the fashionable noise where - often - behind the appearance there is only a marketing illusion. A docu- mentary about a mysteriou

'Leaning Into the Wind: Andy Goldsworthy' follows Andy on his exploration of the layers of his world and the impact of the years on himself and his art.

The children are from many backgrounds - from a children's home, from the working-class East End of London, from a Yorkshire farm, from the stockbroker area of the suburbs. They talk of their views on love, racism, money, marriage, school and home.
