An aspiring editor, she's collaborated internationally on short documentaries and feature documentaries. She participated in the Academy's 2023 Academy Gold program in Film Editing where she co-edited a short narrative film. She marries her interests in writing and editing to create short films that deal with themes of memories and loss.

Once Beneath a Time - Amelia Dickson
4:42, Digital, Color, 2025

"Once Beneath A Time" is my attempt at capturing the awe we have for the prehistoric world as children. The film takes place in an imagined version of prehistoric Earth, fabricated with materials we would find at our feet while walking. I hope that this film exists as a celebration of what is long gone and our never-ending wonder for what Earth holds within its layers.

Amelia Dickson is a 21-year-old British-American artist living in Stillwater, Minnesota. She is currently pursuing a BFA in film, animation and literary art at the Rhode Island School of Design. While her studies have been taking a turn towards experimental animation and stop-motion, she is a lover of all multimedia storytelling.

Daccapo - Liam Baldini
13:00, Digital, Color, 2025

"Daccapo" explores the end of the world from a symbolic, intimate yet detached perspective, structured through three parts. Two figures wander through vague ruins. They search for something, repeating the same gestures eternally, bored. Gears, pages, leaves. Then she sleeps, she dreams. Dissolving in water or light, again.

Liam Baldini was born in 2001 in Rimini, Italy. Currently studying for a master's degree in Philosophy of Religion while creating analog images, moving and still.

Anatomy of a Lost Sound - Zuko Garagia
19:00, Digital, Color, 2025

The film centers on an incendiary sound and the space it created, a para-military camp for youth. This creative "cine-text" -- a reimagining of archives and documents -- is the brief biography of this volatile sound and the individuals who ensured its rise, diffusion, and manipulation. Described as an "essential viewing on remilitarisation in child-rearing in the 21st century."

Zuko Garagić is an award-winning filmmaker and writer. He holds an MFA from Columbia University, where he taught production courses and won the Indian Paintbrush Production Award. His work explores the intersections of memory, history, and identity, interweaving fiction, documentary, and essayistic form to create process-driven films that embrace disassembled narratives and fragmented structures. He is a PhD student at the University of Chicago. He is also a summa cum laude graduate of NYU.

Autoducts - Ben Kappit
5:00, Digital, Color, 2025

A mixed-media film depicting the absurdity of car-based infrastructure.

Ben Kappitt is a filmmaker whose style relies heavily on the post-production process, utilizing a variety of different mediums such as digital video, photography, analog film, animation, and cameraless techniques. His films focus on the experiences of the individual, using very few actors, limited crews, and no scripts. Ben is graduating from the University of Central Florida with a Film BFA in Spring 2025, and plans to further develop his post-production skills throughout his career.

Letters to our daughters - Hélène de Cartier de Marchienne
11:53, Digital, Color, 2025

A collection of conversations, images and sounds recorded during my discovery of Argentina, around the theme of the female experience of fear.

Hélène de Cartier de Marchienne was born in Arendonk, Belgium in 1999. Over the years, she has collected experience in filmmaking, working on various sets across Europe. In 2018, she decided to study filmmaking FAMU in Prague, followed by LUCA school of arts in Brussels since 2020 and FUC in Buenos Aires. She is switching between fiction, hybrid and experimental documentary.

entre le feu et le clair de lune - Dominic Yarabe
17:46, Digital, Color, 2025

The filmmaker's father recounts the 10 days he spent hiding as a young boy during a war in his village in West Africa. Together, father and daughter set out to continue the book he never finished about his memory of the events quietly buried by the Ivorian government. With the help of the children living in his village today, the three generations create a mythical tapestry of entwining timelines, nightmares, and memories.

Dominic Yarabe is an award-winning nonfiction filmmaker. Her work has screened at numerous festivals, including Sundance Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, True/False Film Fest, New Orleans Film Festival, Big Sky Documentary Film Festival where she won the Artistic Vision award, Athens International Film and Video Festival, and more. She is a 2024 MacDowell Fellow in Film/Visual Arts.
