At times psychedelic at times meditative, Elele is a sensory and intuitive VR experience featuring only your hands. With music from renowned electronic musician Max Cooper, it invites you (and your hands) to take part in a dance performance and explore the beauty of your movements. Listen to the music and let your hands lead the way. Dance as big and loud as you want or as small and simple as you want. You’re only expected to bring an open mind. But beware, things may get a little out of hand...

ERUPCJA
Director: Pete Ohs
Pack your bags for a weekend in Warsaw, Poland in the company of an ensemble cast of characters who criss-cross, connect and re-connect at pivotal junctures. Bethany (Charli XCX) is on a romantic getaway with Rob (Will Madden), who plans to propose, but she hasn’t been entirely honest about her past, or her friendship with Nel (Lena Góra) a florist. Every time they meet there’s a seismic event, an Erupcja (eruption) which leads them down different paths. With Jeremy O. Harris on hand for advice, Pete Ohs’ film resonates, capturing a mood that feels fresh and filled with possibilities. The film is reminiscent of the New Wave and the Before series, but, like Bethany, Eurpcja is its own force.
SAIPAN
Director: Lisa Barros D'sa
The tensions surrounding Ireland's 2002 FIFA World Cup bid are universal to any country that has dared to hope for footballing glory. Add Roy Keane's unique personality to the mix and you have an exciting, funny, tense drama, superbly performed by the double act of Steve Coogan as Ireland’s shambling manager Mick McCarthy and newcomer Éanna Hardwicke as the Manchester United force of nature that is Keane. This is no underdog story — it would take a braver person than McCarthy to call the eternally prickly Keane that — but directors Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn have fashioned a crowd-pleasing double-act nonetheless. Tip: watch out for a cameo from the Saudi Arabia team.
EARLY DAYS
Director: Priyankar Patra
Filmmaker Priyankar Patra captures the zeitgeist of young love in this fresh-feeling romantic drama. The film follows the beginnings of a relationship between Preeti and Samrat, an aspirational couple in their mid-twenties who have just moved to the megalopolis of Mumbai. As they share their love story via reels on social media, where the immediate validation and promises of quick money initially seduces, and then propels them into the world of influencers. The film explores the impact of social media on contemporary relationships, while its cinematography creates an intimate and voyeuristic viewing experience, similar to that that of social media voyeurism. With its topical subject and natural performances, Early Days is a relatable watch.
