Sara Driver
Jim Jarmusch’s producer and partner Sara Driver turns out to be an engaging storyteller in her own right in this hilarious short animated documentary, which tells the story of a seedy deal she did to get money to finish Stranger Than Paradise. A buccaneering indie film yarn told by the co-directors with the use of hand-drawn puppets, it depicts the good old days when films travelled in cans, and nobody knew exactly what was in them.

IN-I: IN MOTION
Director: Juliette Binoche
Juliette Binoche’s directing debut is an honest and unflinching account of her artistic collaboration with the British dancer and choreographer Akram Khan, resulting in the 2008 hybrid stage production In-I which premiered at the National Theatre in London. Khan and Binoche honed the show in a workshop, assisted by American acting coach Susan Batson and movement director Hsu Man-su, and filmed by the director’s sister Marion Stalens. Shown alongside footage of the finished show, which features sets by Anish Kapoor and music by Philip Sheppard, this new edit of In-I In Motion marks a rare chance to watch the creative process between two open-minded, questioning, and often exhausted performers as they birth a work of art. "This film contains scenes that may be considered sensitive for some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised"

In 1936, as rebellion sweeps across Mandate Palestine, Yusuf, caught between his rural home and the charged atmosphere of Jerusalem, longs for peace.

Palestine 36, a historical drama set during this period, explores the Palestinian Arab Revolt against the British colonial rule, focusing on the stories of individuals caught in the conflict as well as the human cost of the uprising. It follows the lives of Palestinian farmers, city dwellers and British officers as they confront the conflict. The film examines the choices and unexpected situations faced by its characters.
