After losing her husband, 65-year-old midwife Betânia is persuaded by her daughters to leave her remote village. She moves near the sand dunes of Lençóis Maranhenses in northern Brazil and ventures a new beginning.
The June Festival is approaching, when the bumba-meu-boi is traditionally celebrated in São Luís. Codó is the “miolo”, the dancer who brings the enchanted bull to life. Yet he finds himself under pressure from the end of his lease, the loss of his job contract, and the progression of his father’s Alzheimer’s, whom he cares for alone.
For over a century ‘Carol of the Bells’ has been heard across the globe, but few know this song as ‘Shchedryk’, nor its Ukrainian origins. Own Voice delves into this history, and in so doing provokes a discussion about heritage and a changing world.

A struggling commercial actor camps for a month, occupying himself with historical research, following the timeline/locations of Joseph Smith’s life.

When filmmaker Andy Howlett set out with his camera to document the final days of Birmingham's Brutalist Central Library complex, little did he know the rabbit hole he was stumbling into. Decried by the Council as an eyesore, but hailed by Historic England as an exemplar of postwar design, the story of John Madin's concrete colossus and the fight to save it is a curious one.

And above all, who is this animal with hyper-sharp senses that seems to adapt to all situations? Let's leave the path of men and their prejudices to follow the discreet trail of the fox in the heart of the Alps.
Beatriz Mira, a Brazilian filmmaker living in Mexico, films the housework carried out by women at the end of a decade marked by numerous political and social movements, including feminist groups that disputed the fact that women had been banished from the public sphere, and thus confined to the household.
