The Great White Whale (Michael Dillon) Australia———————-Deep in the wild Southern Ocean, halfway between Australia and South Africa, a snowy volcano, nine thousand feet high, rears up from the sea like a great white whale. Five times it tried to kill the first team that attempted to climb it. Yet in 1964, back they sailed.

Jacques (Lysandre Leduc Boudreau) Canada———————————–For over forty years, Jacques Duhoux, expedition pioneer in northern Quebec, has lived alone in the Uapishka (Groulx) Mountains. Now at 85 years old, he continues to live off the grid, despite the inevitable decline that comes with age.

Pyre (Vinod Kapri) India ——————————————————————– A melancholic ballad of an undying love in a dying land. In the Himalayan Mountain range, a rural village loses its inhabitants to the city’s allure while an elderly couple, Padam Singh and Tulsi, live in desolate isolation. Their days are filled with routine and occasional humour as they mask their loneliness. Their son’s absence gnaws at them, and when a letter arrives promising his return.

The Forest in Me (Rebecca E. Marshall) UK ———————————-Epic forests of the Siberian Taiga and black lava landscapes of a Hawaiian volcano are woven through this quietly powerful film that opens out from a personal story about living with uncertainty, to reflect upon possibilities of love and human connection.

Humans in the Loop (Aranya Sahya) India ————————————– Nehma, an Adivasi woman from the Oraon tribe, returns to her village with her children twelveyear- old Dhaanu and one-year-old Guntu, after her divorce.
