Stories matter. Whose stories get told matters. Who tells those stories matters. From Scotland, Sheffield, North Macedonia and Ecuador, these films pay homage to ancestors and the stories they leave behind.


Who Will Be Remembered Here
Michael Sherrington, Lewis Hetherington, CJ Mahony / UK, Scotland / 2025 / 30 / World Premiere
Challenging the dominant histories of Scotland, this tender work invites us to listen to the landscape, hearing echoes of the marginalised voices we have been made to forget.

Self-portrait at 13
Autorretrato a los 13
Oscar Illingworth / Ecuador / 2025 / 18 / World Premiere
Partly the video diary of a 13-year-old boy, partly a mother’s recordings of her news broadcasts, and a fully original, delirious and energetic snapshot of Ecuadorian identity.

Antigona
Iber Deari, Mirsad Abazi / North Macedonia / 2025 / 20 / World Premiere
In rural North Macedonia, a determined woman begins a quiet revolution. Inheriting her father’s job as a van driver, she opens new possibilities for the women around her.

A Story Left Behind
Sheeko Laga Tagay
Asma Kabadeh / UK / 2025 / 14 / World Premiere
A researcher discovers the fragmented stories of the first Somali woman in Sheffield. Resurrecting her memory, the film questions whose stories get told and who gets to tell them.
