Captivating and delicately abstract, this ruminative work from Miko Revereza reflects the filmmaker’s attempts to understand his and his family’s experiences as undocumented Filipino immigrants in the US.
A delivery driver and a photographer fall tentatively in love in this evocative film from Nigeria. Against the backdrop of a bustling Lagos, filmmaker Babatunde Apalowo weaves a poignant story of connection in a community still learning to recognize and accept queer love.
Winner of the Teddy Award at Berlinale 2023, this restrained, tender story follows two men navigating a society in which same-sex relations remain taboo and even punishable. With stunning cinematography that captures both the intimate connections between the characters and the busy metropolis around them, this film emerges as a politically significant narrative about finding love where you least expect it.
