PRIDE by Bianca Pezo, Short Documentary, 6:31
PRIDE was long in the making. Growing up as a queer hispanic woman in the world, I struggled to find others who had a relatable experience with coming out to loved ones and friends.
This film sprouted from the idea that when a person of any age or sexuality thinks about the difficulty of coming out, there should be a canon to draw from.
Life is difficult already. Now, throw on top of that discovering your sexuality. Add to that coming out to friends and family. In so many ways, these are some of the most private and precious feelings we deal with in our lives.

Kayayo means “girl-carrier” in the Ga language.
In Ghana, about 100 000 girls from the ages of 6 work as real life shopping baskets - called Kayayo, carrying heavy loads on their head (from 130 to 220 pounds), earning very little and some end up in prostitution to make ends meet. This documentary is about Bamunu, an 8-year old girl who hasn’t seen her family since she was sent away from home, two years ago, to work as a Kayayo to support her family. We follow her incessant longing to get away from the harsh markets, her journey back home and what awaits there.

Homo Sapiens, Prehistoric comedy by Joël Melançon, Web Episode, 3:44
200,000 years ago. The dawn of humanity. When the mono-eyebrow was fashionable. They discover the world around them, try to think, try to evolve, but especially avoid being devoured.
Believing themselves intelligent, convinced of their lame reasoning, contemptuous of what they do not understand, they will still conquer the earth. They are our ancestors. That may explain a lot of things.

Flip the Switch by Dave Moutray, Short Documentary, 10:00
From villages that live in darkness at night to villages that have just discovered how solar power can change their lives, Flip the Switch tells the story of Solar Mamas, women from developing countries who have been trained as solar engineers. Starting in India and making their way to Central America and Africa, this film shows how Hogan Lovells, one of the largest law firms in the world, and Barefoot College, the world’s largest NGO, came together to empower women and girls as change agents. Their shared journey illustrates that a global effort to inspire similar committed partnerships is needed to make measurable progress toward the UN SDGs -- one woman at a time, one village at a time.
