Three films about the intimate ties that hold us to each other, and what those bonds cost. In Surrendered, Marie-Josée Desharnais weaves archival fragments, repetition and sound into a meditation on pressure, memory and survival. In Casa Mia, BAFTA-winning journalist and director Alexandra Genova moves past the familiar mythology of the mafia to the women of Naples’ Camorra, who live in the space between love and fear, rarely shown with this much complexity on screen. Artificial Love, winner of a 2026 Student Academy Award, is Arjun Fischer's sensitive portrait of a lonely man in frictionless love.
