SUMMARY:Eternal Trees\, Eternal Mountains
DESCRIPTION:Q&A with directors Harsha Reddy and Chris Chekuri!\nIn 1998\, young American student Harsha ventures into the forests of South India to study tigers. What he finds instead changes the course of his life. Over the next two decades\, he returns to the villages of the Chenchu people\, a tribal community whose roots run as deep as the ancient forests they call home. \nShot across breathtaking forest landscapes\, with aerial imagery\, original artwork\, and rare archival material\, ETERNAL TREES\, ETERNAL MOUNTAINS is as visually arresting as it is emotionally urgent. Joined by his historian friend Chris\, the two men embark on something more than a documentary. It is an act of witnessing. In kitchens and on porches\, beside cooking fires and in the shadow of the sacred temple of Srisailam\, they listen. They dig through folklore\, historical records\, and popular culture to unearth stories that have long been buried beneath a single\, reductive label: primitive tribal group. What emerges is a portrait of a community that is complex\, resilient\, and alive. \nView trailer.

SUMMARY:Ghost School
DESCRIPTION:Magical\, sweet\, visually evocative\, and gently paced\, GHOST SCHOOL\, directed by British-Pakistani filmmaker Seemab Gul\, captures a child’s pursuit of answers in a community weighed down by fear of ghosts and misinformation. \nThis delightful and poignant fable explores corruption from a child’s perspective. Journeying through an expansive\, sun-drenched landscape\, ten-year-old Rabia encounters people from all classes and backgrounds in her quest to uncover the reasons why the only school in her village is closed. Rumor has it that the school is haunted and the teacher is possessed by a jinn. As the ghostly tales about the school take over the village\, Rabia increasingly comes to doubt them. \nIn this coming-of-age and hopeful feature\, filmmaker Seemab Gul’s experience in both documentary and narrative filmmaking\, particularly her focus on the current political landscape\, informs the film’s insightful critiques of feudal power\, gender injustice\, and the state’s neglect of rural education. These heavy themes are skillfully balanced and sensitively humanized through young Rabia’s clear-eyed perspective and her refusal to accept silence and superstition in place of truth. \nPREMIERED – Toronto International Film Festival\, 2025\nPREMIERED – Berlinale Film Festival\, 2026\n

SUMMARY:The Loyal Man
DESCRIPTION:Specially recorded Q&A with director Lawrence Valin!\nTHE LOYAL MAN\, a riveting and romantic gangster thriller directed by audience favorite\, French-Sri Lankan Lawrence Valin\, is essential viewing for “Valin” fans. Following last year’s rave reviews for his sold-out opening night film LITTLE JAFFNA\, 3rd i follows up with his first French-Sri Lankan Tamil film to immerse us in the gritty underworld of iconic Paris\, France. \nValin adeptly performs double duty\, acting and directing with aplomb. In the role of the character Aathi—an enforcer for the mob—he must confront his allegiance to his mob boss when he falls in love with a trafficked woman\, Minale\, who is under the boss’s control. Does loyalty matter more to Aathi than the cost of human life? Will Minnale gain her freedom from her enforced obligations? \nSkillfully blending elements of the Western gangster genre with the vibrant aesthetics of South Indian cinema\, Valin explores complex portraits of identity\, displacement\, and belonging within the Tamil community in Paris. \nPreceded by the short film HOMEBODY\nHOMEBODY / Shruti Parekh\n(USA\, 2026\, 21 min\, narrative)\nFacing eviction after her mother’s death\, a young artist searches for creative ways to defend her right to stay in her family’s Brooklyn apartment. \n
