Greenfield – Rob Herring. Greenfield is an intimate look into the mind and mission of Robin Greenfield — one of the world’s most radical environmentalists. Known for his bold eco-experiments, including wearing a month’s worth of trash through Times Square, living a full year on only homegrown and foraged food, and giving up every possession, Robin challenges what it means to live in harmony with the Earth. As he walks barefoot from Canada to Mexico with nothing to his name, his radical simplicity invites us to question what we truly need to be free, fulfilled, and human. 2025; 34 min.

Entre Luz - Adelaida Tamayo, Gabriel Barrios (Queens, New York). Entre Luz is a short documentary made with survivors of police shootings who lost their eyes during the 2021 Colombian national strike. The film follows a popular-theater troupe of survivors as they carry their performance into the streets of Cali, where testimonies join the clamor of community kitchens, mothers demanding justice, and youth who refuse to be silent. Through disorienting imagery, Entre Luz proposes a new way of seeing structures of oppression. Spectators witness and join the groups mobilization. Produced with MOCAO (Movement in Resistance Against Ocular Aggressions), the film channels the power of popular cinema to invite you to join the battle for justice. In Spanish, subtitled. 2025; 18 min.

Meet Me in Silence – Lucy Mathews Heegaard (Minnetonka, Minnesota). A year-long experiment sitting in complete silence and darkness with strangers leads to an intimate contemplation on connection to self and others through silence. Could the surreal, human-engineered silence of an anechoic chamber be a pathway to healing and awareness? 2025; 14 min.

Salt Marsh - Tom Bell (Yarmouth, Maine). With a haunting, original score by Lee Ranaldo, Salt Marsh explores art, climate, and solitude through the reflections of Maine artist Mitchell Rasor. The 15-minute documentary is a poetic portrait of an artist and place. 2025; 15 min.

A Song Between The Gardens - Nastaran Bagheri (Buffalo, New York). Two international students at the University at Buffalo engage in a conversation reflecting on their student life, their memories from Iran, and their experiences as students back home, while also praising the progressive and vocal role of students during the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' movement. In Persian, subtitled. 2025; 10 min.
